82:B 细节推理题. 根据 he did.He had never sung in public before.Now he was singing for the very first time!Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!及下文描述But once he found,by accident,that he could sing well,he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US,可知他之所以会成功是因为抓住了这次偶然的机会.故选B.
83:A 词义猜测题. 根据上文并结合you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.可知如果你只是…你的天赋,你可能根本就不会成功,再联系Nat King Cole的经历,可知是一个偶然的机会让他意识到自己有唱歌的天赋,所以后来才会取得成功,所以这里的sit on是一种形象的说法,借指"没有意识到".故选A.
