A: Did you notice him come in? --B: No. I () a football game.

did not come easily at all. They cost him a great deal of hard work. We know how often he rewrote and corrected his work because his notebooks are still kept in museums and libraries. He always found it hard to satisfy himself.

When he was 28, the worst difficulty of all came to him. He began to notice a strange humming(嗡嗡声) in his ears. At first he paid little attention; but it grew worse, and at last he consulted doctors. (46) They gave him the worst news any musician could bear: he was gradually going deaf. Beethoven was in despair; he was sure that he was going to die.

He went away to the country, to a place called Heiligenstadt, and from there he wrote a long farewell letter to his brothers. He longed to die, and said to death, "Come when you will, I shall meet you bravely."

In fact, Beethoven did something braver than dying. He gathered his courage and went on writing music, though he could not hear what he wrote. He wrote his best music, the music we remember him for, after he became deaf. The music he wrote was very different from any that had been composed before.

To say that Beethoven was "in despair" means that he______.

A．was very frightened

B．was unhappy

C．had given up hope

D．was dying

听力原文： W: Did you go to the football match on Saturday？

M: No, I had to attend a wedding ceremony, and I was driving all the way from Leeds to Edinburgh. But I listened to the football commentary over the car radio instead. It sounded very exciting indeed, I must say.

W: You must be joking.

M: Why？

W: Well, it's pretty dull, really.

M: Was it？ Come to think of it. That commentator, what's his name？ Urn, Bergman or something, he does tend to overdo it a bit.

W: Well, if he made that football match sound exciting, he certainly did overdo it.

M: How did it go then？ I should have thought that Leeds United did well to win with the York City in their present form.

W: Yes, I suppose they did, but 2:1 didn't do them justice. They should have had at least 3 in the first half, and another 2 in the second.

M: Yes, he mentioned that there were some bad misses.

W: I'll say. You should have seen the one Johnson missed. He got hold of the ball out on the touchline, pushed it up to the outside right, and then ran into the middle for the cross, and when it came, it was a beauty. It dropped right in front of him, and all he had to do was to take his time and pick his spot. And instead, he took a wild swipe at it, and skied it miles over the bar.

M: Anyway, it was a relief my team won the game. Let's not look on the black side. Perhaps they learned their lesson. But I shall have to be off. When shall I see you？

W: Oh, on Saturday, I expect. I will be there in the stadium on Saturday, all being well that is.

M: Where will you be？ Usual place？

W: Yes, usual place, on the terraces.

M: Ok, I'll see you then.

W: Bye.
