A child learning to play the piano will not succeed unless the child has an instrument at home on which to practice. However, good-quality pianos, whether new or secondhand, are costly. Buying one is justified only if the child has the necessary talent and perseverance, which is precisely what one cannot know in advance. Consequently, parents should buy an inexpensive secondhand instrument at first and upgrade if and when the child’s ability and inclination are proven.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the course of action recommended for parents?
选项
A、Learners, particularly those with genuine musical talent, are apt to lose interest in the instrument if they have to play on a piano that fails to produce a pleasing sound.
B、Reputable piano teachers do not accept children as pupils unless they know that the children can practice on a piano at home.
C、Ideally, the piano on which a child practices at home should be located in a room away from family activities going on at the same time.
D、Very young beginners often make remarkable progress at playing the piano at first, but then appear to stand still for a considerable period of time.
E、In some parents, spending increasing amounts of money on having their children learn to play the piano produces increasing anxiety to hear immediate results.
答案
A
解析
Evaluation of a Plan
Situation Children learning the piano need to have a piano on which to practice at home. Purchasing a high-quality piano is costly, and justified only if the child has talent and will persevere, which is hard to predict at an early stage. Parents should make do with a secondhand piano until the child’s ability and inclination are proven.
Reasoning Which of the statements given would cast the most serious doubt on the recommendation given to parents? Suppose that a child, because possessed of very high musical talent, is especially sensitive to imprecisions in tuning or imperfections of tone in a secondhand, less expensive piano (presumably Mozart would have been so!). This could, over time, make the child less interested in using the piano—especially if the child had the opportunity to hear music on far superior pianos. The result could be total loss of interest in learning to play the piano.
A Correct. This, if true, would be a good reason to provide the child with the chance to practice regularly on a superior piano.
B The issue is whether it would be best to provide the child with a superior piano at home, not whether it would be important to provide some piano at home.
C This is irrelevant to the point at issue, which concerns how high a quality of piano should parents provide at home if they desire optimal development of the child’s potential for piano musicianship.
D Fluctuations in the pace of learning the piano are possible, but not relevant to the central question raised about the quality of the piano to be provided.
E Investing so much in a piano, to the extent that doing so causes financial and psychological stress, might not be beneficial overall. However, if buying a new piano and buying a used piano are equally feasible financially for a given family, the question concerns which option would most achieve the objective of optimally developing the child’s potential for piano musicianship.
The correct answer is A.
