　　.閱讀理解

　　(2024·日照模擬)

　　World-famous violinist Itzhak Perlman was stricken with polio as a child.As a result，he wears braces on both legs and walks with the aid of crutches.At_concerts，getting on stage is no small achievement_for_him. He slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair. He lays his crutches on the floor，slowly undoes the clasps (扣環) on his legs，puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward.Then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin (下巴)，nods to the conductor，and starts to play.

　　One fall evening in 1995，while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City，Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.Jack Reimer，a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle，described the scene.“Just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear

　　the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that

　　sound meant.”

　　There was no mistaking what he had to do.People who were there said，“We

　　figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string

　　for this one.”

　　But he didn’t.Instead he waited a moment，closed his eyes，and then signaled

　　the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off.He

　　played with enthusiasm and power.

　　Of course，it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings.But

　　that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.You could see him modulate (調音)，change，recompose the piece in his head.At one point，it sounded like he was tuning

　　the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.

　　1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

　　A．It’s a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.

　　B．It’s not easy for Perlman to get on the stage.

　　C．Perlman has achieved great success on the stage.

　　D．Perlman has small achievements on the stage.

　　2.How did the string break?

　　A．It only broke by accident.

　　B．Perlman broke the string because he was too excited.

　　C．A gunfire from somewhere in the room broke it.

　　D．It was broken by the few bars.

　　3.After the string broke the audience thought that Perlman would________.

　　A．get angry at his performance

　　B．give up the performance

　　C．do something about the violin

　　D．continue performing with the three-string violin

　　4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Perlman________.

　　A．pretended not to know that the string was broken

　　B．thought nothing was impossible

　　C．was a very proud man

　　D．showed his self-confidence in time of trouble

　　5.What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．A World-famous Disabled Artist

　　B．An Unexpected Accident

　　C．The Performance Went on

　　D．A Three-string Violin and Its Owner
