文，讲述了作者年少时，对钢琴产生了浓厚兴趣，但是家境贫寒，无法供得起钢琴课，她没有放弃梦想，自己画了一个纸钢琴练习钢琴，之后坚持自己的梦想，最终进入了世界一流的音乐学校的故事。24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“OncemymomsawthatIwasserious,sheborrowedmoneyandboughtme10lessons.”（当我妈妈看到我是认真的，她借钱给我买了10节课。）可知，妈妈意识到作者说想要上钢琴课是认真的，最后给她买了10节课。故选C项。25．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Iwas11yearsoldwhenIaskedmymomforpianolessonsin2010.Wewereintheeconomiccrisis.Shesaidapolite“no”.”（2010年，当我11岁的时候，我请求妈妈给我上钢琴课。我们正处于经济危机之中。她礼貌地说“不”。）及第二段“Thatdidn’tstopme.”（那没有阻止我。）及整段内容描写可知，尽管作者想要上钢琴课的要求被妈妈拒绝了，但是她没有气馁，因此，她是有决心的。故选B项。26．词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段“Ifeelproud:it’sbeen10yearssinceIdrewmypaperpiano,andI’matoneoftheworld’sleadingmusicschools.”（我感到很自豪：我画纸钢琴已经10年了，我现在在世界一流的音乐学校之一里。）及最后一段关键句“thatIcontinuetodoalotofmypracticeawayfromthepiano---whatwecallmentalpractice.”（我继续在没有钢琴的情况下进行大量的练习——我们称之为心理练习。）可知，作者在世界一流的音乐学校之一里，但是仍然在没有钢琴的情况下进行练习，作者觉得这件事是让人意外的、诧异的。故选A项。27．主旨大意题。根据文章全文内容可知，本文讲述了作者年少时，对钢琴产生了浓厚兴趣，但是家境贫寒，无法供得起钢琴课，她没有放弃梦想，自己画了一个纸钢琴练习钢琴，之后坚持自己的梦想，最终进入了世界一流的音乐学校的故事。“SticktoYourDreams”（坚持你的梦想）最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了重阳节，列举了一些人们在日常生活中尊重老年人的例子，并讲述了尊重老年人是中华民族的一种传统美德。28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Onthatday,familiesgettogetherandclimbmountainsforluckandinthehopethatelderlypeoplewilllivemu
