    The “Mozart problem”, as defined by the author, is that.
    A

    it is difficult to understand Mozart’s letters and his music

    B

    there is little connection between his personality and his music

    C

    Mozart gave us nothing of a clue about his music in his letters

    D

    his music is quite different from that of Beethoven or Wagner


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。第四段第一句提到了Mozart Problem,指出“这就是我所说的因此Mozart Problem…”,可知Mozart Problem应在前文提及。第三段第一句提到“你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么,也无法理解从他体内呼之而出的乐曲”。接下来一句指出“at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either”,可知人们难以从莫扎特的作品中寻求其动力,也无法将他的作品和他的性格联系起来。因此选B。

    his family led a very hard life

    C

    his mother gave less attention to him

    D

    his mother treated him as more than an assistant


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    推理题。注意本题的关键词EXCEPT。根据题干定位至原文第四段。由本段第二句可以看出,作者是家里最年长的,A选项的说法正确,不选。从第三句母亲肩上的担子很重可以推断出家里生活艰难,B选项的说法也正确,不选。该段的第五、六句指出,作者渴望得到母亲的关心,并在第七句中进一步指出他需要了解到母亲不仅仅把他当作一个帮手和持家的小顶梁柱,他需要得到母亲的爱,但从后文得知,他并未得到这个,也可以说,在母亲眼里作者仅仅是一个维持生计的帮手,由此便可知C选项的说法正确而D选项的说法错误。本题为反选题,故正确答案为D。
