2．解析：选C。根据上文可知，尽管妹妹的小提琴演奏得很糟糕，但是她仍不愿放弃。据此可以判断，本句句意为：在十二岁时，
她问父母她是否可以去全日制的音乐学校上学。attend school为固定搭配，意为“上学”。

4．解析：选D。根据本段第三句的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知，“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师教“我”学钢琴。据此可以判断，与妹妹相比，“我”更擅长“我”的乐器。
5．解析：选C。根据下文的“So my parents found the best piano teacher in the area”可知，“我”的父母为“我”找了当地最好的钢琴老师来教“我”学钢琴。据此可以判断，老师告诉父母说“我”很有潜能(potential)。A项意为“耐心”；B项意为“热情”；D项意为“抱负”，都与语境不符。

9．解析：选C。根据该句中的“every Saturday at 3 p．m.”可

10．解析：选B。根据上文的“I let nothing take up my‘The Avengers' hour.”可知，“我”不让任何事情占用“我”看这档节目的时间，据此可以判断，“我”拒绝了这一机会。B项意为“拒绝”，符合语境，故B项正确。A项意为“迫不及待地接受”；C项意为“等待，等候”；D项意为“打开”，都与语境不符。
