第二部分 阅读理解 (共20小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(小儿麻痹症) as a child, and so he has braces(支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).

He walks painfully, yet majestically (庄严地), until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.

But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars(小节), one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap(嘣断)——it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.

We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.

The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.

When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”

51．By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means ___.

A．it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings

B．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled

C．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience

D．it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings

52．When one of the strings broke, people thought Itzhak Perlman would __________.

A．go on playing with the remaining three strings B．give up playing

C．change or repair his violin D．get off the stage with shame

53．Itzhak Perlman ___________ when one of the strings of the violin broke.

A．gave up playing

B．didn’t know what to do

C．went on playing the same piece of music

D．went on playing a different piece of music

54．What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?

A．Moved B．Surprised C．Disappointed D．Satisfied

55．Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ____________.

A．clever B．strong willed C．humourous D．quite skilled

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”

This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed (确认) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.

Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.

Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?

Human development is depended not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.

In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑) , many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.

Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.

56．According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.

A．a sure sign of a mental problem in a child

B．a mental state present in all humans, including children

C．something that cannot be avoided in children’s mental development

D．something hardly to be expected in a young child

57．Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.

A．through connection with society B．gradually and under guidance

C．naturally without being taught D．through watching television

58．According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from ______.

A．the widespread influence of television B．the poor arrangement of teaching content

C．the fast pace of human scientific development D．the rising standard of living

59．What does the author think of communication through print for children?

A．It enables children to gain more social information.

B．It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.

C．It helps children to read and write well.

D．It can control what children are to learn.

60．What does the author think of the change in today’s children?

A．He feels their adultlike behavio
