题目内容
19.When the well-known pianist Kong Xiangdong first made it big in the city in the early 1990s,he was called the"piano prince."His smart looks and passionate(激昂的)music won the hearts of many women fans.Now the"prince"has revealed his new look-with hair shaved(剃O光) off."It is very environmentally friendly,"Kong said,smiling."I never need to use shampoo or a hair dryer!"The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair.But when he talks about his early piano training,Kong speaks of"bitterness"and"hardship."He says"A pianist has no childhood at all.I didn't understand the games other children played."
Kong's mother-Lin Youling,who had a great interest in piano-provided him with a keyboard painted on paper.It was on this soundless"instrument"that he began his piano career,at the age of 5.His mother put the"keyboard"in the kitchen and asked Kong to practice on it every day.Kong had to vocalize the notes."My interest in music declined quickly because the silent′keyboard'made practice very boring,"he said.
When he was 7,Kong's mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him.She almost spent all her savings on the instrument,so it was a real fortune.It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old,"like an old woman's teeth."Kong used this"old granny"piano for 10years.It stimulated his real passion for learning music because he was fascinated(着迷的) by the beautiful sound of a real piano after years at the paper keyboard.He has kept the old piano to remind him of those days.
Practice is the only path to success.Knowing that,Kong was a hard-working student at school,where he wore out several keyboards on musical exercises.

解答 58-61 BABD
58.B 细节理解题.由第一段最后一句话"The real reason for the change is that Kong started to lose his hair."可知他剃光头的原因是他开始掉头发了.故答案为B
59.A 猜测词义题.根据前文可知,Kong先前练习的是画的键盘,没有声音让他的练习变得很枯燥,从而使他对音乐的兴趣减少了.故答案为A
60.B 推理判断题.根据第四段第三句话"It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old"可知,这就是他把钢琴称作"old granny"的原因.故答案为B
61.D 推理判断题.根据第二段"A pianist has no childhood at all.I didn't understand the games other children played."可知由于忙于练琴,他应该没有时间玩.故答案为D
