B
題干：根據(jù)短文，下列哪項(xiàng)是正確的?
A.卡爾寫了一封信感謝芬克爾先生送給他一把小提琴。
B.由于歉收，瑪麗一家過著艱苦的生活。
C.瑪麗在學(xué)校的第一次演出中擔(dān)任第一小提琴手。
D.瑪麗確信她會成為像芬克爾先生那樣偉大的小提琴家。
根據(jù)第七、八段One evening we all sat around the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, "We'll be driving to Columbus."（一天晚上，我們圍坐在桌子旁。爸爸給他的朋友芬克爾先生寫了一封信，他是一位優(yōu)秀的小提琴家。幾個星期后，爸爸收到哥倫布寄來的信，他宣布:“我們要開車去哥倫布?！保┙Y(jié)合后文可知，這里還未收到小提琴，故A選項(xiàng)錯誤。
根據(jù)文章第五段第一行It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped.（那一年不太好。豐收時(shí)，莊稼的收成沒有我們所希望的那么好。）可知，谷物歉收了，這是Mary一家生活更艱難的原因。B選項(xiàng)正確，故選B。
根據(jù)倒數(shù)第五段When I was ready to join the school orchestra, I trembled with excitement. I sat in the third row of violins and wore my white orchestra jacket like a royal robe. My heart beat wildly at my first public performance, a school operetta. I felt sure everyone in the audience was watching me. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly at their little girl. And soon I found myself in the first-violin chair.（當(dāng)我準(zhǔn)備加入學(xué)校的管弦樂隊(duì)時(shí)，我興奮得渾身發(fā)抖。我坐在小提琴的第三排，穿著我的白色管弦樂服，就像一件皇家長袍。我的心在第一次公開演出時(shí)狂跳，那是一場學(xué)校的輕歌劇。我確信每個觀眾都在看著我。爸爸和媽媽驕傲地笑著看著他們的小女孩。很快我就坐上了第一小提琴的位置。）可知，第一次演出中并未擔(dān)任第一小提琴手，故C選項(xiàng)錯誤。
根據(jù)第十段He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought.（他拿起一個箱子，打開，拿出一把小提琴，開始演奏起來。旋律如瀑布般洶涌澎湃。哦，要像他那樣拉小提琴，我想。）可知，并不是確信她會成為像芬克爾先生那樣偉大的小提琴家，故D選項(xiàng)錯誤。
