　　．D　解析：细节理解题。由第一段中However，he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.可以知道，他的特别之处在于他听了曲子之后就能演奏出来，故选D项。文章没有说他有创作音乐的天赋，也没有说他能写下他听到的音符(只是说“记住”)，更没有提到他是法学院的优等生，因此可以排除其他选项。

　　2．B　解析：细节理解题。由Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents...可以知道，他想成为一名律师(也是他父母的愿望)，而不是一名音乐家，故选B项，可排除A项；由．..but music teachers told him he should study music instead.可以知道，音乐老师想让他放弃法律专业，学习音乐，因此排除D项；由．..but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special.可以知道，他并不认为自己是音乐天才，因此排除C项。

　　．C　解析：细节理解题。由第三段中．..without being able to read music and without having any lessons.可以知道，他看不懂乐谱，没有上过音乐课，却能够弹钢琴，这让人们很惊讶。

　　．B　解析：推理判断题。由第四段中Samuel says confidently，“It's all about super memory－I guess I have that gift.”可以知道，他对自己非凡的记忆力感到骄傲，故选B项。文章说到人们对他的记忆力留下深刻印象，但是不能说他一举成名，因此排除A项。

　　．B　解析：主旨大意题。全文讲述了一个只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲的音乐天才。C项有一定的干扰性，Samuel早年受过音乐的熏陶，但是文章的重点不是讲述早期教育的重要性，因此可以排除。

　　阅读理解(2016·山西高三上学期诊断)

　　Nearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view，according to alarming new research.One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collision—equivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers.The discovery triggered a warning by a road safety charity—Brake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.

　　Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash.“This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car，” she said.“Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs.Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves，young passengers or other road users at risk.”

　　A survey arranged by price comparison website Confused.com found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety.But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新奇) value.The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.

　　“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs.They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue，” said a Confused.com spokesman.

　　1．What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?

　　A．They can be dangerous.

　　B．They are useful to avoid accidents.

　　C．They are welcomed by passengers.

　　D．They are forbidden to be used.

　　2．What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?

　　A．Positive. B．Negative.

　　C．Uninteresting.D．Objective.

　　3．According to the survey，most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs________.

　　A．can improve safety

　　B．are unnecessary

　　C．can make drivers clear D．can kill time

　　4．What is the purpose of this text?

　　A．To solve a problem.

　　B．To describe a threat to traffic safety.

　　C．To tell an interesting story.

　　D．To persuade drivers to drive safely.
