题目解答

答案

文章大意：许多年前在瑞士阿尔卑斯山的高处，住着一个孤独的牧童，渴望朋友分享他的夜晚。 一天晚上，他看到三个老人，每人拿着一个杯子。 第一位老人说：“喝这种液体，你就会在战斗中取得胜利。”第二位老人说：“喝这种液体，你就会有无数的财富。”最后一位老人说：“我为你提供音乐的快乐-----角。”男孩选择了第三个玻璃杯，第二天，他找到了一个长十英尺的大号角，当他把嘴唇放在上面时，一个漂亮的旋律飘过山谷。 他找到了一个朋友。 喇叭的传说也是如此，在九世纪首次出现的时候，牧羊人用它来叫牛，因为它的深音在山腰上回响。 即使在今天，在一个安静的夏日傍晚，它的音乐也可以在山峰中浮现。答案：11.A12.C13.D14.B15.B
