Passage Three
When Midori was two years old, she often climbed onto the piano bench and reached for the violin that belonged to [32]her mother, a 30-year-old professional musician. "Please don't touch, Midori," her mother scolded. [33]The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000. But Midori persisted. She longed to handle the graceful instrument that made beautiful sounds. Finally, on her third birthday, Midori was handed a package, a tiny violin, about half the normal size.
Almost from the moment Midori was born, her mother knew she was sensitive to music. For several years mother and daughter practiced together day after day. She was eager to learn. Failure often led to tears, though she never once turned from the instrument. Instead, she persisted until the problem was overcome.
One day Johnson, an American musician, heard Midori playing the violin. He couldn't believe she was just eight years old. [34]"She must make a tape and I will take it to the United States." the American musician said. A famous American violin teacher heard the tape. He, too, had difficulty believing his ears. The playing was absolutely astonishing. [35]He immediately accepted her as a pupil and recommended her for a full scholarship. Thus in 1982, Midori and her mother moved to New York City, leaving behind a comfortable life in Japan.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What did Midori's mother do?
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。短文开篇就提到Midori小时候喜欢玩妈妈的小提琴，她妈妈那时是一个年仅30岁的职业音乐人（a 30-year-old professional musician）。因此D为正确答案。读选项可预测是问人物的身份。
33. Why was Midori forbidden to touch her mother's violin when she was only two years old?
正确答案：A
解析：推理题。录音提到，“The violin was, after all, worth more than $20,000 毕竟小提琴价值2万多美元”，所以Midori的妈妈不让她碰，故A为正确答案。
34. What did Johnson ask Midori to do?
正确答案：D
解析：细节题。Johnson听了Midori的演奏后说“She must make a tape... 她应该去录制磁带”，故选D。根据不定式选项预测，问题应该是问将来的行为动作。听音时注意是“谁”让“谁”做什么。
35. Why did Midori move to the United States?
正确答案：C
解析：细节题。一位著名的美国小提琴教师听了磁带后“马上收她为学生并给她申请了全额奖学金”。因此，1982年Midori和妈妈迁往纽约。
