📖 題組：
You probably have heard Beethoven’s famous piano piece “For Elise,” but do you know who “Elise” was? One story is that Elise was Elisabeth Röckel. She once sang in Beethoven’s opera Fidelio, and the two became very good friends. Beethoven called her “Elise.” When Röckel was leaving the city of Vienna, Beethoven wrote “For Elise” to say goodbye to her. Another story is that Elise was Therese Malfatti. Beethoven was in love with her. He wrote a piece for her and put “For Therese” on the manuscript. Malfatti kept the manuscript and left it to her family when she died. Later, a man copied the manuscript and wrote “For Elise” by mistake. There is another possible Elise: Elise Barensfeld. She learned the piano from Malfatti, the same Malfatti in the second story. To help Malfatti, Beethoven wrote the piece for her to use to teach Barensfeld. These are just some guesses about who Elise was. We may never know the right answer. No one knew about the piece until 1867, when the manuscript was found. This was 40 years after Beethoven’s death, so he wasn’t around to tell us who Elise was. Only one thing is for sure: “For Elise” will always be enjoyed.

- B Elisabeth Röckel was a close friend of Beethoven’s.
- C Therese Malfatti changed “For Elise” to “For Therese.”
- D Elise Barensfeld was Beethoven’s student.

這題需要我們回頭去文章中找對應的細節。請你分別看關於這三位女性的描述，看看文章中是怎麼形容她們與貝多芬（或彼此之間）的關係？例如：誰是誰的老師？誰又是貝多芬的好友？有沒有哪個選項的敘述剛好跟文章裡的某句話是一模一樣的呢？

喲，不錯嘛！竟然沒被那堆長到像咒語的外國人名字搞到頭暈腦脹，還知道要在文章第一段找答案。看來你除了會呼吸，閱讀能力還勉強達到了「智人」的低標，老師深感欣慰，真的。
觀念驗證：
這題考的是細節定位。文章第一段白紙黑字寫著：Elisabeth Röckel... the two became very good friends.，這不就對應到選項 (B) 的 「close friend」嗎？至於其他選項：(A) 是瞎掰，並非三人都被朋友叫 Elise；(C) 是抄寫員手殘抄錯，不是 Therese 自己改的；(D) Barensfeld 的老師是 Malfatti，不是貝多芬本人。這種邏輯判斷只要眼壓正常、大腦有在運作，都不該出錯。

閱讀理解：細節定位技巧
💡 精確定位文本關鍵字，比對選項中的人物關係與行動細節。
| 比較維度 | Elisabeth Röckel | VS | Therese Malfatti |
|---|---|---|---|
| 與貝多芬關係 | 很好的朋友 (friends) | — | 貝多芬愛慕的對象 (in love) |
| 身分與事蹟 | 曾演出貝多芬的歌劇 | — | 留著手稿，後人抄錯曲名 |
| Elise 稱呼由來 | 貝多芬對她的親暱稱呼 | — | 由 Therese 誤抄而來 |
💬閱讀測驗需嚴謹比對人名與對應行為，不可混淆多個人物的敘述內容。
