分析 本文主要讲述了一位音乐天才的事情,在不懂乐谱,也从来没有上过钢琴课的情况下就能够演奏很难的乐曲.而且他有超强的记忆力,他就是Samuel Osmond.

26.B 推理判断题.根据第二段最后一句Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents,but music teachers told him he should study music instead.Now,he studies law and music.因为他父母亲希望他学习法律,所以他希望自己称为律师,但是他的音乐老师让他学习音乐,所以现在他法律和音乐一起学习.本句可知他原来计划是学习法律的.故B正确.
27.C 细节理解题.由第三段最一句Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised和第三四句"I suddenly decided to start playing the piano,without being able to read music and without having any lessons.It comes easily to me---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note"可知,他不用看音符就能演奏钢琴,这使大家感到惊讶.故选C.
28.B 主旨大意题.根据文章中He never studied the piano.However,he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.以及文章大意可知本文围绕着Samuel没有学习弹钢琴,只是听到乐曲就能记下来,然后弹奏出来,这是一个特殊的天赋,因此本文的标题是讲的一个音乐天才的故事.故选B.
