课时提能练(九).阅读理解A(2019广州检测)At first sight，Alma Deutscher，a thirteenyearold girl from England appears to be like any other typical preteen.She loves to skip rope，read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster，who composed her first musical work at age six，first short opera at age seven，and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten，is anything but average.Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent，young Alma is being described as“little Mozart”by the music world.Almas operatic take on the classic fairy tale，which she began writing at age eight，has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.“In my Cinderella，she sings the beginning of a balladbut at midnight she flees.Eventually，the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna，Austria on December 29,2016，where the elevenyearold girl skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews.The young genius has since performed two new piano works，once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young，Alma is not worried.She says，“Of course I have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams，and at least when I work hard，I work hard for something incredibly exciting，like seeing my whole opera put on.”Almas musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an 18monthold toddler，she was able to hum a perfect version of the childrens rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However，Almas abilities only gained international attention in 2012，after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star，dubbed“little Mozart”This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either，saying“There was only one Mozart，and I prefer to be little Alma.”Regardless of what she calls herself，the thirteenyearold is changing the world of music forever!【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。13岁的Alma有音乐天赋，18个月时就能哼唱一闪一闪小星星，6岁时创作了她的第一部音乐作品，7岁时创作了第一部短歌剧，被人们誉为“小莫扎特”。1What do we know about Alma Deutscher?AShe comes from a famous musical family.BShe showed a great musical talent from a young age.CShe regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.DShe has adapted some famous works of classical music.B细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“But this modest youngster，who composed her first musical work at age six，first short opera at age seven，and first fulllength opera based on Cinderella at age ten，is anything but average”可知，Alma Deutscher自小便显示出了惊人的音乐天赋，故B项正确。2How did Alma get to be widely known?AThrough an online video.BBy performing on television.CBy putting on an opera.DThrough her parents promotion.A细节理解题。根据第六段的第一句“However，Almas abilities only gained international attention in 2012，after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart”可知，2012年Alma家的一位朋友在网上发布了一个视频，将Alma比作莫扎特；此后她的能力受到了国际关注，故A项正确。3What is Almas attitude towards her success?AShe is still unsatisfied with her performance.BShe is uncomfortable with so much pressure.CShe is modest about her musical achievements.DShe is proud to have become a professional musician.C推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句“Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either，sayingThere was only one Mozart，and I prefer to be little Alma.”可知，在人们将她比作莫扎特时，Alma不愿和这位著名的音乐家相提并论，她认为世界上只有一个莫扎特，而她更喜欢人们叫她“小Alma”；据此可以判断，面对人们的赞誉和自己的成功，Alma很谦虚，故C项正确。4What can we infer about Almas parents?AThey are very welleducated people.BThey are protective of their daughter.CThey have pushed Alma to take up music.DThey have made a good life plan for Alma.B推理判断题。根据第六段中的“The family was suddenly swamped with media and Alma became an overnight star，dubbed little MozartThis nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be calleda composer and musician”可知，Alma成了一夜成名的“小莫扎特”，但这个绰号让她的父母不高兴，因为他们认为这会给这个小女孩带来额外的压力，他们宁愿她被称为“作曲家和音乐家”。据此可以判断，Alma的父母是爱护她的，故B项正确。B(2019南宁联考) Researchers have created a backpack that has a computer and medicines in it that can help even untrained soldiers save the lives of wounded troops.Wounded soldiers have a better chance of survival if they get help soon after being hurt and are
