B Many kids start humming tunes like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” as their first songs, but Nygel Witherspoon was an exception. He preferred Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’s Violin Concerto in D Minor. So when Nygel Witherspoon began to hum the very difficult concerto(协奏曲), his family guessed that he should have music lessons. He was, however, just 3 years old. “He was calm, with an ability to focus.” recalled David Holmes, Witherspoon’s cello(大提琴) teacher from age 3 to l6. Witherspoon is a familiar name in his hometown. He has inherited his talent from both sides of his family, including his aunt, the late jazz vocalist Shirley Witherspoon. The 17-year-old doesn’t see himself as competitive. “I think it’s more important for students to have a supportive environment than a competitive one;” he said. “It’s great to have a support system, where you can be yourself and improve right along with others doing the same thing.” Witherspoon’s love of music blossomed as he attended viola(中提琴) lessons with older siblings. Their teacher, David France, noticed that the little boy was a sponge(海绵). “He’d absorb everything they did.” France said. Witherspoon was given a box violin, but he wanted to play “the big one”— the cello. He loved its size and tone. That’s when he was matched with his teacher Holmes. Witherspoon’s drive is inspired by the connection music provides. He recalled that he and his siblings performed as a chambertrio(室内乐三重奏) at their grandmother’s nursing home. The positive reaction from residents gave him motivation. “It’s so important, whether it’s hip-hop or classical,” he said. “Music is the universal language. It connects all of us.” 24.

He could already play the songs he’d heard. 25. What does Witherspoon think is important for music learners? A. Practicing hard. B. Being very competitive. C. Being in a supportive environment. D. Having a good teacher from an early age. 26. What is France’s impression of Witherspoon? A. He is a fast learner. B. He is a creative player. C. He works very hard. D. He is open-minded. 27. What is the main purpose of the last two Paragraphs? A. To compare Witherspoon’s performance with his siblings. B. To show that motivation plays a big role in music studies. C. To stress that music connects people. D. To show how studying music helped Witherspoon overcome difficulties. C There have been thousands of marine species that have become extinct.
