When Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to [22]her mother, a 30-year-old professional musician. "Please don’t touch, Midori," her mother scolded. The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000. But Midori persisted. She longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package, a tiny violin, about half the normal size.
Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.
One day Johnson, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn’t believe she was just eight years old. "She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States." the American musician said. A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. Thus in 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.
22. What did Midori’s mother do?
23. Why was Midori forbidden to touch her mother’s violin when she was only two years old?
24. What did Johnson ask Midori to do?
25. Why did Midori move to the United States?
选项
A、A housewife.
B、A singer.
C、A teacher.
D、A musician.
答案
D
解析
细节题。短文开篇就提到Midori小时候喜欢玩妈妈的小提琴,她妈妈那时是一个年仅30岁的职业音乐人(a 30-year-old professional musician).因此D为正确答案。读选项可预测是问人物的身份。
