Most of the great performers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the worlds greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “Its very clear，” he told me.“ They were all Jews and Jews at that time were severely oppressed and illtreated in that part of the world.They were not allowed into professional fields, but they are allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.”As a result, every Jewish parents dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours，” says Isaac Stern. “Children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War Two, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.”Thats a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy.J.S.Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.21Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because_.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestBJewish children are born with excellent musical talentCthey wanted their children to enter into professional fieldDit would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country解析：选A。细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可得出答案。22.

But many people from Northwest China just cant live without it. “In my hometown, when a baby is born, the family holds a dinner party and invites a Qinqiang troupe to perform. When a person dies，the family also invites a Qinqiang troupe to perform at the funeral. Qinqiang is what we hear first and last in this world，” says Liu Xiang, a 32yearold accountant from Shanxi.Chang Zhimo, a 57yearold engineer from Gansu, believes the opera transmits positive morals generation by generation from ancient times till modern times. “Babies sing along with adults and learn such lessons asgood will be rewarded with good and evil with evilfrom Qinqiang，” Chang says.Yun Shizhong, a 62yearold retired librarian from Qinghai Province, believes the musical form appeals to ordinary people. “Qinqiang is about the life of the poor, and it is performed in their own way，”Yun says. “It provides them an opportunity to release their depressive feelings. When a character in Qinqiang Opera is sad, he would beat his chest and howl.” Liu, Yun and Chang all believed something was missing from their lives after they moved to Beijing until they discovered the Great Qin Opera Youth Society of Beijing.Founded in 2004, the society is the only Qinqiang organization in the capital. The society is made up of about 40 members who came from Northwest China and work in various fields in Beijing. Aside from its elderly band members, most of the singers are in their 20s and 30s.In 2003, a group of Qinqiang fans met through the China Qinqiang Net website (www. qinqiang. com)and came up with the idea of forming a Qinqiang troupe in Beijing. And on November 7, 2004, the Great Qin Opera Youth Society of Beijing was founded. Since then, the members have been studying and practising Qinqiang every Sunday without taking a day off.And rather than taking a break over the May Day and National Day golden weeks, they instead met twice a week. Yun came to Beijing to live with his daughter after retirement. A lover of Qinqiang since his childhood, he did not have much time to be up to it when working in Qinghai. To enrich Yuns life in Beijing, his daughter found the Great Qin Opera Youth Society on the Internet.26By saying “many people from Northwest China just cant live without it”， the author means_.AQinqiang Opera is an essential part of their lifeBthey are native to Northwest ChinaCQinqiang Opera is native to Northwest ChinaDQinqiang Opera is the best解析：选A。深层含义理解题。第一段：对于外行来说，秦腔听起来刺耳并且夸张。但是，许多中国西北人离开了秦腔就活不下去。这说明，秦腔是他们生活中不可缺少的一部分。一个人出生时用秦腔喜贺诞生，死的时候用秦腔致哀送终。 27.The underlined word “transmits” in the 2nd paragraph roughly means_.AtransportsBabsorbsCpasses down Dsums解析：选C。词义猜测题。秦腔把积极的道德观一代代地传递下去。幼儿跟随大人唱
