(1)【答案】D
【解析】:细节理解题。

根据文章第一段中的“He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.”
可知Samuel Osmond从未学过弹钢琴，却能把听到的乐曲弹奏出来，这是他的特殊之处，故选D。

(2)【答案】D
【解析】:细节理解题。

根据文章第一段中的“He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes(音符) in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata(奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.”可知，他只

故选D项。

(3)【答案】C
【解析】:推理判断题。

根据文章第四段中的“He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional(专业的) pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, ‘It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.’”可知，他现在正在学习一首很难的曲子，而这首曲子许多专业钢琴家都演奏不了。

Sa m uel自信地认为他有超强的记忆力。

由此可知他对自己的记忆力很自豪。

故选C。

By the time we arrived, Bosco was wheeled into the animal care centre to receive emergency care. Bosco was put on oxygen and was taken good care of by staf f there and we waited anxiously for the dog to get out of danger.

So Bosco is now being called Roscoe, whose critical care and recovery were estimated to be several thousand dollars. It would be difficult for Roscoe's new home to cover the costs as a non-profit organization. Thankfully, many people who knew Roscoe's story on Detroit Dog Rescue's Facebook Page donated money to his care. With the help of supporters, Detroit Dog Rescue managed to make it. Once Roscoe was in a stable state, Sandra and I returned to our original mission, knowing we had already been given the chance to help one desperate soul.。
