1.Thispassageisabout.

A.makingviolinsB.musicalinstruments

C.scientificideasD.theoldItalianvoilins

答案解析：

答案为D。

本题为主旨大意题。

第一段最后一句话“NoonereallyknowswhytheseoldItalianviolinsaresospecial,butmanypeoplethinktheyhaveananswer.”引入话题，为什么古老的意大利小提琴如此特别，很多人认为他们知道答案，后文分别给出了不同人的答案，最后一段对问题的答案进行总结“TheremayneverbeotherviolinsliketheviolinsofCremona.Theirsecretmaybelostforever.”意大利小提琴的秘密或许永远消失了，无人知晓。

全文都是围绕古老的意大利小提琴展开。

故答案为D。

2.Thebestviolins.

A.aremadewithmoderntechniquesB.werelostmanyyearsago

C.weremadeinItaly200yearsagoD.weremadebyscientists

答案解析：

答案为C。

由第一段第一、二句话“MostmusiciansagreethatthebestviolinsweremadeinItaly.TheyweremadeinCremona,Italy,about200yearsago.”可知，答案为C。

3.Somepeoplethinkthatmodernviolins.

A.willsoundbetterinthefuture

B.willsoundworseinthefuture

C.soundwonderfulandnatural

D.willneverbeasoldasthosefromCremona

答案解析：

答案为A。

本题为细节题。

结合第二段和该段第二句话“Theysaythattoday’sviolinswillalsosoundwonderfulsomeday.”可知，一些人认为现代小提琴有一天也会演奏出优美的旋律，故A选项正确。

B、C选项与文意不符，D选项未提及。

4.Violinsmadetoday.

A.lookthesameastheoldonesB.soundthesameastheoldones

C.arebetterthantheoldonesD.havethesamevarnishastheoldones

答案解析：

答案为A。

本题为推理题。

由倒数第二段“Theycanmakenewonesthatareexactlythesamesizeandshape.Butthenewviolinsstilldonotsoundasgoodastheoldones.”可知，科学家可以制作出和意大利小提琴一样大小和形状的小提琴，但是新的小提琴音质就是不如意大利小提琴好，故A正确，B、C错误。

由该段最后两句话“NooneknowswhattheItalianviolinmakersusedintheirvarnish.Sonoonecanmakethesamevarnishtoday.”可知，D选项错误。

完成填空。
