述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授CarolLeone如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状和ElianaYi使用小钢琴键盘的经历。1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“ElianaYidreamedofpursuingpianoperforman

ceincollege,nevermindthatherfingerscouldbarelyreachthelengthofanoctave(八度音阶).(ElianaYi在大学时梦想着从事钢琴演奏，尽管她的手指几乎达不到一个八度音程的长度。)”以及第二段中““

Iwouldjustgotopieces,”theSouthernMethodistUniversityjuniorrecalled.“Therewerejusttoomanyoctaves.Iwon

deredwhetherIwasjustgoingtoplayBachandMozartfortherestofmylife.”(“我会崩溃，”这位南卫理公会大学的大三学生回忆说。“八度太多了。我想知道我的余生是否只会演奏巴赫和莫扎特

。”)”以及第六段中“Leoneisfamiliarwithsuchchallenges.Bornintoafamilyofjazzmusicians,sheinsteadfavoredclassicalmusicandpursuedpianodespite

hersmallhandspanandearnedadoctorateinmusicalarts.(LeoneLeone对这些挑战很熟悉。她出生在一个爵士音乐家的家庭，但她更喜欢古典音乐，并且尽管她的手指距离较小，她还是选择了追求钢琴，并获得了音乐艺术博士学位。)”可知，短

手距限制了她们的音乐事业，这是ElianaYi和CarolLeone之间的相似之处。故选B。2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Twentyyearsago,theschoolbecamethefirstmajoruniversityi

ntheU.S.toincorporatesmallerkeyboardsintoitsmusicprogram,levelingtheplayingfieldforYiandotherpianoma

jors.(20年前，该校成为美国第一所将小型键盘纳入音乐课程的主要大学，为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。)”可知，SMU将将小型键盘纳入音乐课程是为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。故选C。3．细节理解题

。根据最后一段中“Smallerkeyboardsinstillmanywithnewconfidence.It’snottheirownlimitationsthathaveheldthemback,theyrealize;it’sthelimitationsofth

einstrumentsthemselves.(更小的键盘给许多人注入了新的信心。他们意识到，阻碍他们前进的不是他们自身的局限；这是仪器本身的局限性。)”可知，当她弹奏这架改装过的钢琴时，她感觉到非常有信

心。故选A。4．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授CarolLeone如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状。过去，人们对于传统钢琴的尺寸几乎没有质疑，导致手指长度不够的

人无法舒适地演奏八度音阶。然而，通过引入小钢琴键盘，这些人可以更轻松地演奏，并且不再受到手指过度伸展而导致的伤害。这一改变不仅让那些手指长度较短的人有了更多的机会演奏经典作品，也给他们带来了新的信心和动力。D选项“TheStorybehindRet

rofittedPianos(改装钢琴背后的故事)”概括文章主要内容。故选D。5．C6．B7．A8．D【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了WilliamLindesay是著名的长城专家和自然环境保护主义者，他和妻子带着孩子走遍世界各地，用实际行动践行了“读万卷书不如行万里路

021’sOvertheShop.(《沙堡的一天》由QinLeng绘制。这是继2021年的《超越商店》之后，Lawson和Leng的第二本无字图画书。)”可知，文中提到的这两本书都只有图片，所以读者在这两本书里面只能看到图片。故选B。35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Thoselastpages
