from distinct regions.Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe.I asked Isaac Stern，one of the world's greatest violinists，the reason for this phenomenon.“It's very clear，” he told me.“They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill­treated in that part of the world.They were not allowed into the professional fields，but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.As a result，every Jewish parent's dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies，I found，is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture(培育) talent.Nowadays the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East.“In Japan，a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours，” says Isaac Stern，“children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields，including music.When Western music came to Japan after World War II，that music not only became part of their daily lives，but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese，as we know，are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That's a good thing，because even prodigies must work hard.Next to hard work，biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy.J.S.Bach，for example，was the top of several generations of musicians，and four of his sons had significant careers in music.1.Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because.A.it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB.Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC.they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldsD.it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country解析：考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段的陳述 “ It's very clear.They were all Jews and but because it was a passport to the

than ours”，“children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields”可知。答案：C4.Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage？A.A natural gift.B.Extensive knowledge of music.C.Very early training.D.A prejudice­free society.解析：考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中第三段“Next to hard work，biological inheritance plays an important role in the working of a

exploding and raining blubber ( fat of whales) all over the sidewalk.That's what happened in Taiwan recently，when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Center for an autopsy(尸體解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination.The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend，and died shortly after it was discovered.Since the 56­foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan's shores，scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose.Obviously，too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location，because it had already started to go bad.When things rot，they give off gases as a by­product.In the whale's case，the gases were trapped in its belly.The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over­filled balloon.Unfortunately，it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the timecars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits and juices，much to their owners' discouragement.According to the news reports，traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets.Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves，since they had a ready­made headlineseveral reports about the incident were titled“There She Blows！” after the famous line from the book Moby Dick.語篇解讀：本文為新聞體裁，一輛平板卡車裝載著一頭體重達(dá)60噸的抹香鯨在臺灣的大街上行駛，這個龐然大物是生還是死？5.The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to.A.explain the reasonB.sell newspapersC.attract
