阅读理解词义猜测题专练(二) (题干加黑的为词义猜测题) A (2016·石家庄市第二中学高三适应训练) The jazz world has a new great musician — Joey Alexander, the 12 years old pianist. He was born in Indonesia. At age 6, he learned to play jazz by ear. That means, he learned a piece of music just by listening to it, not by reading notes. Joeys parents are not musicians. His father played a little piano and guitar, but not professionally. Watching his father play music influenced the young boy. So did his fathers record collection. He learned jazz by listening to these records. By the time Joey was 10, the Lincoln Center in New York City invited him to play jazz at Lincoln Center. “Joey plays a version of Round Midnight, and everybodys jaws dropped, like looking at Joey and looking at each other ... and theyre laughing, like ‘This cant possibly be what were hearing.’He took another take afterwards; it was a completely different arrangement. And again, everyone (laughs) ...you kind of shrug your shoulders, look at each other, scratch your head, and just go ‘Okay, all right, Ive never seen this before.’” Joey is home-schooled. And when he is not performing, he also likes playing with toys, playing sports and watching movies. He earned two Grammy nominations this year, one for “Best Improvised Jazz Solo” and one for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album.” He is one of the youngest musicians ever to earn a Grammy nomination.
