【答案】1-4ABBD
【解析】文章介绍了一个很小就展现出色音乐天赋的小女孩Alma,以及她的突出成就。
1.推理判断题。
根据第一段“thismodestyoungstercomposedherfirstmusicalworkatagesix,firstshortoperaatageseven,andfirstfull-lengthoperabasedonCinderellaatageten”可知Alma在六岁时创作了她的第一部音乐作品,在七岁时创作了第一部短歌剧,在十岁的时创作了第一部以灰姑娘为原型的歌剧。
由此可见她很小的时候就展现了出色的音乐天赋,故选A。
2.细节推理题。
根据倒数第二段“Alma’sabilitiesonlygainedinternationalattentionin2012,afterafamilyfriendpostedavideoonlinecomparinghertoMozart.”可知Alma被世界关注是因为2012年一个朋友在网上发布的一段视频,故选B。
3.推理判断题。
根据第四段“Ihavetoworkhard.Butallchildrenhavetoworkhardforexams,andatleastwhenIworkhard,Iworkhardforsomethingincrediblyexciting,likeseeingmywholeoperaputonstage.”和最后一段“Almadoesnotwanttobecomparedtothefamousartisteither,saying,‘TherewasonlyoneMozart,andIprefertobelittleAlma.’”可知Alma认为自己要努力学习,以及不想和著名的艺术家Mozart进行比较。
由此可见Alma个人非常努力,对取得的成就非常谦虚,故选B。
4.推理判断题。
根据倒数第二段“Thisnicknamemakesherparentsunhappybecausetheybelieveitputsaddedpressureontheyounggirl.Theywouldinsteadpreferhertobecalled‘acomposerandmusician’.”可知Alma的父母怕这个称呼给这个小女孩带来额外的压力,可见她的父母对Alma是保护的。
故选D。
B
