帮忙做个大学英语阅读Although Beethoven could sit down and compose easily,his really great compositions did not come easily at all.They cost him a great deal of hard work and he always found it hard to satisfy himself.When he was 28,he began to notice a strange noise in his ears.As it grew worse,he went to see doctors,and was told that he was going deaf.This was too much for any composer to bear.Beethoven was without hope; he was sure that he was going to die.He went to the countryside where he wrote a long good-bye letter to his brothers,describing how sad and lonely his deafness made him.He longed to die,and said to death,“Come when you will; I shall meet you bravely.”In fact,Beethoven did something braver than dying.He gathered his courage and went on writing music,though he could hear what he wrote more and more faintly.He wrote the music for which we remember him best after he became deaf.This music was very different from any that had been composed before.Instead of the artistic and beautiful music that earlier composers had written for their rich listeners,Beethoven wrote stormy,exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous (勇敢的) life.His Heroic (英雄的) Symphony (交响乐) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.In time he went completely deaf,but he wrote more creatively than ever,for he could "hear" his music in his mind.He was lonely and often unhappy but in spite of this,he often wrote joyful music,such as his last symphony,the Ninth.Because of his courage and strong will to triumph,his music has given joy and encouragement to millions of people.11.How did Beethoven’s deafness affect him?A.It killed him.B.It stopped his writing music.C.It drove him mad.D.It helped him create great music.12.Which of the following music works written by Beethoven was joyful?A.No.9 Symphony.B.No.7 Symphony.C.No.5 Symphony.D.No.3 Symphony.13.Beethoven longed to die because _______________.A.he had told death he would meet it bravely B.he felt his deafness was too much for him to bear as a composer C.he wouldn’t be able to write music for rich listeners after becoming deaf D.he wouldn’t be able to support his family 14.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A.Music and Symphony B.Hard to Satisfy C.The Music of Fate D.Deafness in Music.15.According to the passage,which of the following is true?A.When he was partly deaf,Beethoven's music became more and more gentle.B.His music became more and more artistic although he was deaf.C.He wrote fainter and fainter music after he went deaf.D.He composed exciting and encouraging music that reflected his struggle with his fate.
