READING (2ms)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770. His childhood was unhappy. His father drank too much. Beethoven's musical talent was obvious from childhood. He quickly became a talented performer on the piano. In 1792, he moved to Vienna, Austria, to study with Austrian composer Joseph Haydn. Soon Beethoven was playing music that he wrote himself. Many people admired his powerful, dramatic music.

Beethoven was often ill or depressed. He was unable to find a woman who would marry him. Just as he was becoming very successful, he started to lose his hearing. Deafness is the worst fate for a musician. Beethoven's performing career was over.

Despite Beethoven's hearing loss, he still wrote music. The music he wrote became even better. His music was richly expressive and revealed feelings such as joy and sadness. He created one bold masterpiece after another. Besides piano music, Beethoven wrote string quartets (pieces for four stringed instruments) and other kinds of chamber music. Chamber music is written for small groups, and people can play it in their homes or in small halls. Beethoven also wrote songs, two masses, an opera, and nine outstanding symphonies.

Beethoven studied works by Haydn, German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, and Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Then he broke their rules and made music that was like no one else's. It was emotional and challenging. Beethoven wanted his music to express ideas as well as emotions. He wanted it to praise freedom and equality and other high ideals.

Some of Beethoven's well-known achievements are the Moonlight Sonata for piano, the Fifth Symphony, and the Ninth Symphony. The Fifth Symphony has a famous four-note opening, da-da-da-dum. The Ninth Symphony ends with a triumphant chorus called "Ode to Joy." Beethoven's music set a standard that later composers measured their work by.

Crowds loved him and adored his music. Beethoven was famous, although not happy. In 1827, he got pneumonia and died in Vienna.

11. Which of the following best describes Beethoven's life according to the passage?

A. talented, powerful and challenging        B. emotional, dramatic, and outstanding

C. unhappy, stressful, but successful         D. talented, outstanding, and successful

12. The phrase "was over" in the passage mostly means ____.

A. finished              B. completed           C. started                D. remained

13. What happened after Beethoven lost his hearing according to the passage?

A. He became a famous talented performer on the piano.

B. He started writing music for his own performance only.

C. His music became more and more impressive and emotional.

D. His music was better, more impressive and varied in types.

14. Which of the following is true about Beethoven's music according to the reading?

A. It was strongly affected by that of other famous musicians.

B. It helped Beethoven enjoy a life with luxuries and comforts.

C. It expressed ideas and emotions, praised freedom and equality.
