听力原文：Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. Beethoven's first lessons for pian

听力原文： Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in Bonn in 1770. Beethoven's first lessons for piano and violin were from his father. He also studied with Haydon. In 1792 Beethoven came to Vienna, where he decided to stay and try to make a career for himself. In summer months he liked to spend as much time as possible away from the bustle of Vienna. He enjoyed his stays in villages around the city. He liked the peaceful and simple life of the countryside. It was there that he composed both the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies.

Beethoven sympathized with republican ideas. He took great interest in the French Revolution and the birth of the French Republic. He admired its leader, Napoleon, and intended to dedicate his Third or Eroica Symphony to him. However when he was told that Napoleon had crowned himself emperor, the composer was disgusted and changed his mind.

As 1809 drew to its close, Beethoven produced several major works. In May 1809 Haydon died. There was no one to challenge Beethoven to be the musical king of Vienna. At the end of 1813, the Seventh Symphony was performed for the first time.

Beethoven's last years were marked by illness on the one hand and monumental masterpieces on the other. His deafness made it impossible to conduct his works or even perform. any more. Between 1819 and 1823 he composed his Ninth Symphony and some more piano sonatas. Those, together with the late string quartets, were the last works from this great man.

(26)

A．In Bonn.

B．In Vienna.

C．In France..

D．In Haarlem.

听力原文： Ludwig Beethoven was born in Bonn, in the Rhineland. His father was a professional musician in the Court of The Elector of Cologne; he was often drunk, and he was a hard task-master to his son. Ludwig began learning violin and piano when he was only 5, and by the time he was 8 years old the began giving public concerts. He received very little education apart from music, but he was fortunate in having a good music teacher, the court organist, who recognized his abilities and taught him well. When he was 14, Ludwig was appointed second court organist, a post which gave him some opportunity to travel. He visited Vienna, where Mozart heard him play and said, "Watch that young fellow; he is going to cause a stir in the world." When he was 16 his mother died, and three years later his father was dismissed from his post at Court. Ludwig, with characteristic loyalty and devotion to his family, accepted responsibility both for his father and his two younger brothers.

Throughout his life Beethoven produced numerous musical works. First and foremost, Beethoven was a composer of extended music, that is, long works in several movements. His masterpieces remain the greatest and most personal compositions of one of the world's greatest musical thinkers. No composer has put more of himself into his music; everything he left, from anger to tenderness, from misery to hope is found there.

A．At five.

B．At six.

C．At eight.

D．At twelve.

听力原文： Beethoven was born in 1770. He studied first with his father. At 12 he had some

music published. In 1792 he settled in Vienna. Around 1795 his first important publications appeared. As a pianist, it was reported, he had fire, brilliance and fantasy as well as depth of feeling. These years also saw the composition of his first three piano concertos, his first two symphonies and a set of six string quartets.

1802, however, was a year of crisis for Beethoven, with his realization that the impaired hearing he had noticed for some time was incurable and sure to worsen. But he came through with his determination strengthened and entered a new creative phase, generally called his middle period. It is characterized by a heroic tone, evident in the Eroica Symphony, in Symphony No.5, and in his opera Fidelio. (18[A]) With his powerful middle-period works Beethoven was firmly established as the greatest composer of his time.

The years after 1812 were relatively unproductive. (19[D]) He was seriously depressed, by his deafness and the resulting isolation and by the failure of his romantic relationships. But he came out of these trials to write hi s profoundest music, which surely reflects something of what he had been through. (20[C]) For Beethoven, the act of composition had always been a struggle; in the late works the sense of agonizing effort is a part of the music.

Beethoven established himself as the greatest composer ______.

A．with his powerful middle-period works

B．when his first three piano concertos were finished

C．around 1802

D．around 1795

听力原文： Are you discussing whether to give your child music lessons？ Don't look at his f

ingers. Look at his face and determine whether he is left-faced or fight-faced. Most talented musicians are left-faced. They include singers, conductors, conductors, and even country music artists. Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Liszt and many others were left-faced.

Just as most of us are either left-handed or right-handed, everybody has a more dominant and flexible side on his face. This is determined before birth. It has a link to the dominant side of the brain. Left-handed people are more able in the right side of the brain. One of the specializations of the right half of the brain is the understanding of music. The left half, on the other hand, specializes in language and numbers, among other things.

According to the passage, what helps a mother decide whether to give her child music lessons？

(11)

A．The child's fingers.

B．The child's brain.

C．The child's language ability.

D．The child's face.

听力原文： Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their

individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways, some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the dread ballet, but first they had to discard all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.

Her search for natural movement form. sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.

First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity shown by complicated movements. Duncan performed dance by using all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.

Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She discarded ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.

Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters, including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.

She was as exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.

According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan？

A．Something to conquer.

B．A model for movement.

C．A place to find peace.

D．A symbol of disorder.
