Thirty years ago I turned on our family’s black-and-white console TV to watch an orchestra conductor nearly as hyperactive as I was performing the magic trick of conjuring images out of melody, of churning emotions out of dissonance. The man gestured grandly with his baton to the horn section, a wavy black forelock dropped over
his forehead, and three horn players sounded out a theme. "What character is that?" he asked. "The wolf!" the audience of children responded noisily. Repeating the procedure, the man signaled the oboe, the flute, the clarinet and the drums, to which the kids answered instantly." Duck! ... Bird! ... Cat! ... Hunters! .... Wait, I left out the most important one," the conductor said, and with the violin, the kids shrieked out Peter!" and I chimed in with them. Rocking his arms jauntily as Peter’s theme played on, Leonard Bernstein had won yet another concert. It was my first taste of symphonic music, nearly my first hint that there was a world larger, more sophisticated and splendid than my own. For me, and all the rest of the children from the hinterlands intently watching those Young People’s Concerts, the air became slightly more rarefied with possibility.

选项
A、revelatory.
B、enervating.
C、compulsory.
D、daunting.
答案
A
解析
试题问作者对Bernstein的年轻人音乐会的看法。revelatory是“启示性的”, enervating是“使人感到衰弱的”,compulsory是“强制性的”,daunting是“使人感到胆怯的”,从全文看,作者认为这样的音乐会专场,对于像他那样的乡下孩子有十分重大的教育意义,使他们因此能了解交响乐,所以具有启示性。
