题目内容
1．About 150years ago，a German musician sat quietly at a concert in Vienna．They were playing for the first time a new symphony（交响乐） he had composed（创作）．At the end he turned to face the people at the concert．They were clapping widely．（36）AThe musician was Beethoven，one of the greatest composers in the world．Deaf people have a hard time．（37）EEven as a child Beethoven did not have a happy life．His father was a singer．But he was lazy and drank a great deal．When the boy was only four，his father decided to make a musician of him．（38）FWhenever he did not put his heart into his practice，his father would be hard on him．It is a wonder that the boy did not hate music．（39）CWhen he was 17，he won high praise from Mozart，a great Austrian composer．A few years later Beethoven went to Vienna to study under Haydn，another great Austrian composer．Soon he was writing a great deal of music himself．But after one illness，he suddenly found himself deaf．At that time he was only 31．What a blow it was to him!
But this did not stop Beethoven．He went on composing．（40）GDuring his life，he composed about 300pieces．The surprising thing is that he wrote some of his best，his most beautiful pieces after he became deaf．Many of them are known and loved all over the world．
A．But he could hear nothing for he was deaf．
B．However，his father didn't come to listen to him play the beautiful music．
C．He learned so fast that he was able to go around and give concerts when he was only 11．
D．Beethoven left home and went out to practice his own music．
E．But it is even worse for a composer than for anyone else．
F．So Beethoven had to practice hour after hour on different musical instruments．
G．He wrote long pieces and short pieces，happy ones and sad ones，gentle music and powerful music．
分析 本文主要介绍了贝多芬的音乐人生，他从小刻苦训练，再加上他学得非常快以至于他年仅11岁时就能四处周游举行音乐会．但是最后他聋了，尽管耳聋了，可他并没有停止创作．一直在努力同命运作斗争．
解答 AEFCG
36．A本题考查推理判断．上文讲到They were clapping widely．观众掌声雷动；根据下文Deaf people have a hard time．可知贝多芬耳聋了，什么也听不见．A项：But he could hear nothing for he was deaf．但他什么也听不见，因为他耳朵聋了．符合文意，故选A．
37．E本题考查推理判断．上文讲到Deaf people have a hard time．聋人的生活是艰难的，而对于贝多芬而言更是难上加难．E项：But it is even worse for a composer than for anyone else．但是对于一个作曲家，聋了会比其他人更难．符合文意，故选E．
38．F本题考查推理判断．上文提到When the boy was only four，his father decided to make a musician of him．可知他的爸爸要把他培养成为一名音乐家．而下文又讲Whenever he did not put his heart into his practice，贝多芬的训练，说明贝多芬从小是如何刻苦训练的．F项：So Beethoven had to practice hour after hour on different musical instruments．所以贝多芬不得不一小时又一小时地用不同的乐器练习．符合文意，故选F．
39．C本题考查推理判断．上文讲到It is a wonder that the boy did not hate music．一个男孩不讨厌音乐很奇怪；下文又讲When he was 17，he won high praise from Mozart，a great Austrian composer．可知此处说贝多芬取得的成绩．C项：He learned so fast that he was able to go around and give concerts when he was only 11．他学得非常快以至于他年仅11岁时就能四处周游举行音乐会．符合文意，故选C．
40．G本题考查推理判断．由上文可知，尽管贝多芬耳聋了，可他并没有停止创作，空白后又介绍了他作品的数量，故此句在介绍他创作作品的情况，说明他创作的作品题材多样．故选G．
