Within moments he was playing an accompaniment and composing on the spot freely. In the following year, 1763, an official in Heidelberg was so astonished by his organ-playing that he had a plate carved for his church to mark the boy's visit. Mozart composed his first symphony at eight. Youthful promise often declines. With Mozart the opposite was true. Through him classical music may have found its most ideal expression. As Jan Swafford writes in his outstanding biography, Mozart's compositions displayed “a kind of effortless perfection so easily worn that they seem almost to have written themselves”. He drafted quickly, often without needing to revise. He “could express delight by the yard”. A man of his time, Mozart was equally at home composing for the concert salon or the opera stage. He is the subject of many biographies, but the leading one, by Hermann Aber, is 100 years old and 1, 600 pages long. Safford, himself a composer and a programme-writer, offers an updated and authoritative life, easy to understand, beautifully written, and full of critical judgments and sharp notes on the works. Mozart' s way with melody （旋律） and keen view of human nature-his letters reveal an almost Dickensian ability to paint characters-combined to promote opera from desserts to a serious medium the author argues. “His wisdom, his ability to observe people and their weaknesses, his fascination with the craze for love - al this made him the perfect composer" of the form, Mr Swafford thinks. He was admired in his time. Most of his music stuck to conventional structures yet went over the heads of the average listener. Legend has it that his most important fan, Emperor Joseph II, reacted to one performance with an impressive comment: “Too beautiful for our ears, my dear Mozart!” 1. What does paragraph 1 mainly discuss? A. The true origin of the symphony. B. Musical instruments in Mozart's time. C. Mozart's remarkable talent for music. D. A friendship between Mozart and an official. 2. What does Swafford think of Mozart's compositions? A. They sounded perfect. B. They expressed his criticism. C. They were created hurriedly. D. They should be performed outdoors. 3. How does Mozart's biography by Swafford stand out? A. By comparing contemporary musicians' works. B. By giving professional and accessible comments. C. By including the remarks of Emperor Joseph II. D. By referring to other writers' constructive advice. 4. What did Mozart contribute to? A. Creating music for folk stories. B. Inspirations for Dickens' works. C. Reforms of conventional structures. D. Transforming opera to a serious art form. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4.

While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on either of them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily activities. Many have already proposed hydrogen（氢气）as a possible solution. But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 from the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it offers a possible solution. For now, though, the team of scientists at Oxford University is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation （航空的） industry. As the aviation industry contributes over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to tum th
