　　「答案解析」

　　1. D 本段介紹貝多芬早年平生。前一句話(huà)說(shuō)他的父親對(duì)他要求十分嚴(yán)厲，而且酗酒成性。D說(shuō)當(dāng)他母親亡故后，還是一個(gè)年輕人的貝多芬成為他兩個(gè)小弟弟的監(jiān)護(hù)人。把D放在這里意思連貫，是最適合的選項(xiàng)。

　　2. B 本段介紹貝多芬成年后坎坷的遭遇，選B最合適。

　　3. A 句中的this handicap承接上段，指上段最后一句話(huà)提到的耳聾這一殘疾，全句的意思是說(shuō)貝多芬身殘志堅(jiān)，繼續(xù)音樂(lè)創(chuàng)作。原文最后一句列舉了貝多芬的音樂(lè)成就，此處選A與上下文銜接自然，意思連貫。

　　4. C 到此為止，作者介紹完了貝多芬的生平，需要做一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)要的概括。C說(shuō)：他的一生是熱切追求獨(dú)立的一生。放在此處正合適。

　　5. E 本段第一句提到歌德對(duì)貝多芬性情的評(píng)價(jià)，說(shuō)他狂躁易怒，性情不羈。E說(shuō)盡管貝多芬的性情狂躁不羈，但他的音樂(lè)卻很有章法，控制有度，這也是他最值得我們懷念的地方。
