He was baptized the day after his birth at St. Ruperts Cathe

12、dral. His father Leopold was from Augsburg. He was a minor composer, and an experienced teacher. In the year of Mozarts birth, his father published a violin textbook, which achieved a great success.In the fourth year of his age his father, for a game as it were, began to teach him a few minutes and

13、pieces at the clavier. He could play it faultlessly and with the greatest delicacy, and keeping exactly in time. At the age of five, he was already composing little pieces, which he played to his father who wrote them down. While Leopold was a devoted teacher to his children, there is evidence that

14、Mozart was keen to progress beyond what he was taught. His first ink-spattered composition and his efforts with the violin were of his own initiative and came as a surprise to Leopold. Leopold eventually gave up composing when his sons outstanding musical talents became evident. He was Mozarts only

15、teacher in his earliest years and taught his children languages and academic subjects as well as music.During Mozarts youth, his family made several European journeys in which he played at the Court in Munich, and at the Imperial Court in Vienna. A long concert tour spanning three and a half years f

16、ollowed, taking the family to the courts of Munich, Paris, and London. During this trip, Mozart met a great number of musicians and acquainted himself with the works of other composers.

This travel lasted from December 1769 to March 1771. As with earlier journeys, Leopold wanted to display his sons abilities as

18、 a performer and a rapidly maturing composer. After finally returning with his father from Italy on 13 March 1773, Mozart was em-ployed as a court musician by the ruler of Salzburg, Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus Col-loredo. The composer had a great number of friends and admirers in Salzburg. Despite

19、these artistic successes, Mozart grew increasingly discontented with Salzburg and redoubled his efforts to find a position elsewhere. One reason was his low salary. In August 1777, Mozart resigned his Salzburg position and, on 23 September, ventured out once more in search of employment, with visits

20、 to Augsburg, Mannheim, Paris, and Munich. Since Archbishop Colloredo would not give Leopold leave to travel, Mozarts mother Anna Maria accompanied him. Mozart became acquainted with members of the famous orchestra in Mannheim, the best in Europe at the time. He also fell in love with Aloysia Weber,

21、 one of four daughters in a musical family. There were prospects of employment in Mannheim, but they came to nothing and Mozart left for Paris on 14 March 1778 to continue his search. One of his letters from Paris hints at a possible post as an organist at Versailles, but Mozart was not interested i

22、n such an appointment.Mozarts new career in Vienna began well.

26、 ruler of Salzburg（D）He fell in love with Aloysia Weber in Mannheim10 In the last paragraph, the last line, the phrase “the finest keyboard player“ means_.（A）the best violinist（B） the best pianist（C） the best composer（D）the best organist10 The Mona Lisa painting now hangs in the Musee du Louvre in P

27、aris. The paintings increasing fame was further emphasized when it was stolen on 21 August 1911. The next day, Louis Beroud, a painter, walked into the Louvre and went to the Salon Carre where the Mona Lisa had been on display for five years. However, where the Mona Lisa should have stood, he found

28、four iron pegs. Beroud contacted the section head of the guards, who thought the painting was being photographed for marketing purposes. A few hours later, Beroud checked back with the section head of the museum, and it was confirmed that the Mona Lisa was not with the photographers. The Louvre was

29、closed for an entire week to aid in investigation of the theft.French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who had once called for the Louvre to be “burnt down,“ came under suspicion; he was arrested and put in jail. Apollinaire tried to implicate his friend Pablo Picasso, who was also brought in for questio

30、ning, but both were later exonerated. At the time, the painting was believed to be lost forever, and it was two years before the real thief was discovered. Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia had stolen it by entering the building during regular hours, hiding in a broom closet and walking out with it

31、hidden under his coat after the museum had closed. Peruggia was an Italian patriot who believed Leonardos painting should be returned to Italy for display in an Italian museum. Peruggia may have also been motivated by a friend who sold copies of the painting, which would skyrocket in value after the

32、 theft of the original. After having kept the painting in his apartment for two years, Peruggia grew impatient and was finally caught when he attempted to sell it to the directors of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence; it was exhibited all over Italy and returned to the Louvre in 1913. Peruggia was hail

34、56, the lower part of the painting was severely damaged when a vandal doused the painting with acid. On 30 December of that same year, a young Bolivian named Ugo Ungaza Villegas damaged the painting by throwing a rock at it. This resulted in the loss of a speck of pigment near the left elbow, which

35、was later painted over. The use of bulletproof glass has shielded the Mona Lisa from more recent attacks. In April 1974, a handicapped woman, upset by the museums policy for the disabled, sprayed red paint at the painting while it was on display at the Tokyo National Museum. On 2 August 2009, a Russ

36、ian woman, distraught over being denied French citizenship, threw a terra cotta mug or teacup, purchased at the museum, at the painting in the Louvre; the vessel shattered against the glass enclosure. In both cases, the painting was undamaged.11 According to the author, on 21 August 1911 the Mona Li

42、意思太过绝对，也应首先排除。因此只有选项 B 正确。【知识模块】 英文阅读理解2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 这也是一道考查细节的题型。从首段最后一句“Although these factors arenot of prime importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a markeddifference in age and background”可以看出选项 A 是符合题意的，选项 B、C 和 D 都比较片面。 【知识模块】 英文阅读理解3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 这是一道考查推理的题型

43、。题干要求：推出“being on the same wavelength”在文中的意思。考生首先找到这个短语在文章中的位置，根据前面一句或是后面一句的意思推出短语的意思。第二段的首句“Some friendly relationships can be kept on argumentand discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，to haveattitudes and interests in common-they often talk aboutbeing on th

44、e same wavelength”短语前出现的破折号有解释说明的意思。因此，选项 C 是符合题意的。值得注意的是，选项 A 是该短语的本意“说话时用同样的频率”，所以不符合文意。【知识模块】 英文阅读理解4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 这是一道判断是非的题型。注意题干中的 NOT。选项 A，“朋友之间也会存在不同观点”，文中多处提到朋友间不同的信仰、态度、观点和兴趣，因此符合文意。选项 B，“朋友之间从来不发生争吵”，虽然文章并没有直接提到，但明显不符合文意，never 一词也太绝对。选项 C，“成为亲密的朋友关系需要花费时间”，主要在文中第二段提及，符合文意。选项 D， “有些人的习惯使

45、朋友感到不快”也是符合文意的。 【知识模块】 英文阅读理解5 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 这是一道细节推理题。题干：人们要增进友谊关系，需要怎么做?含有相关答案的信息的语句，在文中第三段最后一句中有所体现。“But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond，which can overcome differences in background，and break dow

49、析】 这也是一道考查推理的题型。题干要求：解释短语“the finest keyboard player”的意思。作为全文最后一句的总结，短语前面必然有对这句总结语的解释和说明。“Mozarts new career in Vienna began wellHe performed often as a pianist，notably in a competition before the Emperor on 24 December 1781”出现“pianist”一词，因此推出选项 B 是对短语“the finest keyboard player”最合理的解释。 【知识模块】 英文阅读理解11 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 这是一道考查细节的题型。题干问：1911 年 8 月 21 日蒙娜丽莎是被谁偷走的?这道题有很大的迷惑性，文章第一段出现了题干中的时间，即 1911年 8 月 21 日，但是并未具体讲是被谁偷走，而且文章中也多次出现人名，因此考生容易在这里出现误判，而问题的真正答案却是在第二段讲述中提到：Louvre employee
