文，講述了作者年少時，對鋼琴產生了濃厚興趣，但是家境貧寒，無法供得起鋼琴課，她沒有放棄夢想，自己畫了一個紙鋼琴練習鋼琴，之后堅持自己的夢想，最終進入了世界一流的音樂學校的故事。24．細節理解題。根據文章第二段“OncemymomsawthatIwasserious,sheborrowedmoneyandboughtme10lessons.”（當我媽媽看到我是認真的，她借錢給我買了10節課。）可知，媽媽意識到作者說想要上鋼琴課是認真的，最后給她買了10節課。故選C項。25．推理判斷題。根據文章第一段“Iwas11yearsoldwhenIaskedmymomforpianolessonsin2010.Wewereintheeconomiccrisis.Shesaidapolite“no”.”（2010年，當我11歲的時候，我請求媽媽給我上鋼琴課。我們正處于經濟危機之中。她禮貌地說“不”。）及第二段“Thatdidn’tstopme.”（那沒有阻止我。）及整段內容描寫可知，盡管作者想要上鋼琴課的要求被媽媽拒絕了，但是她沒有氣餒，因此，她是有決心的。故選B項。26．詞義猜測題。根據文章倒數第二段“Ifeelproud:it’sbeen10yearssinceIdrewmypaperpiano,andI’matoneoftheworld’sleadingmusicschools.”（我感到很自豪：我畫紙鋼琴已經10年了，我現在在世界一流的音樂學校之一里。）及最后一段關鍵句“thatIcontinuetodoalotofmypracticeawayfromthepiano---whatwecallmentalpractice.”（我繼續在沒有鋼琴的情況下進行大量的練習——我們稱之為心理練習。）可知，作者在世界一流的音樂學校之一里，但是仍然在沒有鋼琴的情況下進行練習，作者覺得這件事是讓人意外的、詫異的。故選A項。27．主旨大意題。根據文章全文內容可知，本文講述了作者年少時，對鋼琴產生了濃厚興趣，但是家境貧寒，無法供得起鋼琴課，她沒有放棄夢想，自己畫了一個紙鋼琴練習鋼琴，之后堅持自己的夢想，最終進入了世界一流的音樂學校的故事。“SticktoYourDreams”（堅持你的夢想）最適合作為本文標題。故選D項。【導語】這是一篇說明文。本文主要介紹了重陽節，列舉了一些人們在日常生活中尊重老年人的例子，并講述了尊重老年人是中華民族的一種傳統美德。28．細節理解題。根據第三段“Onthatday,familiesgettogetherandclimbmountainsforluckandinthehopethatelderlypeoplewilllivemu
