Ⅳ.阅读理解
Most musicians agree that the best violins were first made in Italy.They were made in Cremona，Italy，about 200 years ago.These violins sound better than any others.They even sound better than violins made today.Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old
Italian violins.But they aren’t the same.Musicians still prefer the old ones.No one really knows why these old Italian violins are so special，but many people think they have an answer.
Some people think it is the age of the violins.They say that today’s violins will also sound wonderful some day.But there is a problem here.Not all old violins sound wonderful.Only the old violins from Cremona are special.So age cannot be the answer.There must be something different about Cremona’s or those Italian violin makers.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood.Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violin.But the kind of wood may not be so important.It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way.The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin.Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.Maybe they understand more than we do about how to cut the wood.Size and shape may not be the answer either.Scientists measured these violins very carefully.They can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape.But the new violins still don’t sound as good as the old ones.Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish.Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin.It makes the wood look shiny.It also helps the sound of the instrument.No one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.So no one can make the same varnish today.
There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona.Their secrets may be lost forever.Young musicians today hope this is not true.They need fine violins.But there aren’t very many of the old violins left.Also，the old violins are very expensive.Recently，a famous old Italian violin was sold for about $300,000!

4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “varnish”？
A．装饰物 B．覆盖物

win v．获胜，赢得，获得(奖品)
