一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）
1. Jean-Michael Lourdis was a promising young pianist. But when the young man played, it
seemed to him, as if his hands were iron. He worried so much about his playing that he became oversensitive (过度敏感的) to the comments of his playing. Unfortunately, in those days, a critic(批评家) was not considered a critic, unless he found something wrong. This attitude of the critics would often leave the young man ready to give up his dream and return home.
He was invited to play in Helsinki. The rich, the famous, the leaders of State were all there. Jean-Michael had one of those days when everything went wrong. That night as he played, he felt as if it were the worst concert of his young life. The next day, in the newspapers, some of the comments were so unkind. The young musician was painful.
That day, as he sat in his hotel room in total despair(绝望), there came a knocking at his door. He had a visitor. The famous Finnish composer(作曲家) Jean Sibelius had come by to congratulate the young pianist on his performance. Jean-Michael asked how he thought of that and began to quote some of the newspaper critics. \No joy. Don't you hear what they say?\
Jean Sibelius looked at young Jean-Michael and said, \the world where they have erected a statue(雕像) for a critic.\

提示：[1]B.细节题。本题问“根据文章，Jean-Michael Lourdis________。”本题干信息不足，我们 不知道要阅读哪些方面的内容，所以首先我们有必要浏览一下选项。Ａ的意思是“他是个糟糕的钢琴家”，Ｂ的意思是“他太在乎评论家的说法”，Ｃ的意思是“他拒绝去赫尔辛基演奏”，Ｄ的意思是“他受到评论家的高度赞扬”。第一段其实就可以告诉我们答案，该段大意是
“Jean-Michael Lourdis是一个非常有前途的年轻钢琴家。但是当他演奏时，对他来说似乎自己的双手像铁一样发硬。他对此很担心，以至于他对别人给自己演奏的评价过于敏感。不幸的是，在当时评论家如果不能给别人挑出错误的话就不能称为评论家。评论家的态度经常让这个年轻人时刻准备着放弃自己的梦想，打道回家。”据此，可知Ｂ是正确的。课文的第二段告诉我们他接受邀请去了赫尔辛基演奏，所以Ｃ是错误的。
[2]A.细节题。本题问“当时的评论家通常_________。”根据上题对第一段的分析，可知答案是A（给音乐家的表演挑错）。B的意思是“鼓励音乐家”，C的意思是“帮助音乐家成名”，D的意思是“请更多的人参加音乐会”。
[3]C.细节题。本提问“这名年轻的音乐家很痛苦，这是因为_______。”中心词是“painful”，答案在第二段的最后两句，这两句大意是“第二天，报纸上的一些评论很不友好。这位年轻的音乐家对此非常痛苦”。据此可知答案是C。A的意思是“他对自己要求严格”，B的意思是“他不相信自己”，D的意思是“他在宾馆很孤独”。
[4]D.细节题。本题问“下面哪一个没有被报纸的评论提及？”这个很简单，答案在第三段的最后一句，该句提到了A、B、C。所以答案是D。
[5]C.细节题。本提问“Jean Sibelius来拜访这位年轻的音乐家，原因是________。”中心词是“Jean Sibelius”。答案在第三段的第二句，该句大意是“T著名的芬兰作曲家Jean Silbelius来宾馆祝贺这位年轻钢琴家的演出取得了成功”。据此可知答案是C（他想告诉这个年轻人演出很棒）。A的意思是“他想告诉这个年轻人那些评论家是对的”，B的意思是“他想告诉这个年轻人不要发火”，D的意思是“他想告诉这个年轻人要尊重评论家的意见”。
