【备考策略】
1、解题方法：做完型填空时，要先用2-3分钟快速浏览一下全文（此时不用看选项），掌握文章大意，有助于从整体理解文章，便于在做题时心里有数，可以做到上下联系，兼顾左右。在做题时我们只有对全篇进行掌握，并在做题时充分理解语境。这样才能正确用词。再结合词意、语法、语境三方面来解题。要根据行文逻辑、生活常识和相关知识去进行判断，并要特别注意文章的第一句，往往是文章的主旨所在。
2、设题情况：完型题往往考查学生对同义词、近义词（以动词和名词等实词为主）以及习惯用语、固定短语搭配掌握情况及运用能力的同时，还考查了学生在具体语言环境下捕捉信息、把握文章主人公的情感而使用语言的能力和技巧。
3、角色把握：在做完型填题时，要让自己成为以下四种角色：
（1） 文章作者：要让自己成为文章的作者，充分理解文章的思路；
（2） 篇章设题者：让自己成为本篇文章的设题者，以一个出题人的角度去看本文；
（3） 文中人物角色：要让自己融入文章中，认真体会和揣摩文中人物角色的情感、态度；
（4） 做题者：在充分理解文章的同时，别忘记自己还是被考查者，要以“拿得起、放得下”的高度对待文章，不可一叶障目，不见森林。

【答案与解析】
这是一篇叙事性的文章，作者采用倒叙的手法，讲述了英国著名聋女乐器打击手Evelyn Glennie克服困难成功的故事，阐明了只要有激情，敢于尝试，就能成功的主题。
1. B. 考点是：名词词义。
综合整个语篇及文章最后一段 “I would encourage people not to allow…”的提示，可知作者虽身残而志坚，挑战世俗，大胆尝试，最终获得成功，可知最佳答案为B项。
2. C. 考点是：动词词义。
文中take piano lessons 为动词搭配，表示：上(听)钢琴课之意，故排除其它三个干扰项。
3. B. 考点是：名词词义。
由下文“I was completely deaf ”；“not as a deaf musician”；“ I was totally deaf” 处可知作者年幼失聪 (hearing)。
4. D. 考点是：名词词义辨析。
根据文章，医生断言神经受损是作者耳聋的原因所在，而非产生的结果，故排除B项，A项表示：证据，C项表示：借口，均不符合文意。
5. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
从文中可知，作者虽患耳疾，但年纪愈长，对音乐的热情也愈涨，再由but一词的暗示，可敲定left为正确答案。
6. D. 考点是：名词词义辨析。
根据文意，作者的人生目标是要成为一名打击乐器独奏演员，所以D为正确答案，A项表示: 意图，B项表示: 决定，C项表示: 诺言，均不准确。
7. B. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
由文中可知，由于听力丧失，作者无法用耳朵去听音乐，所以只能尝试学会以“另类”的方式去感悟音乐，选项B恰好表示: 学习、习得之意，符合文意。
8. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
由上文可知，作者无法象常人一样去听音乐，就想出只穿着袜子不穿鞋，利用身体的震动来感知音乐，分辨音调高低。其中can与tell连用，正好表达“分辨”、“辨别”之意，为正确答案。
9. C . 考点是：名词词义辨析。
根据文意和句子结构可判断，只有C项imagination (想象力)为正确答案。
10. A. 考点是：名词词义辨析。
根据上文, 作者听力丧失，所以只能协调其它的感官去“听”音乐。故A项为正确答案。
11. C. 考点是：形容词词义辨析
此处表达作者要立志成为音乐家，所以不难选出determine一词，其他三项dissatisfied, astonished, discouraged因感彩与文章主旨明显不符，而不能入选。
12. A. 考点是：副词词义辨析。
作者耳患顽疾，且又申请著名的伦敦皇家音乐学院去学习，这在当时是没有哪个聋哑学生能够做到的，故此题选A为宜。
13. D. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
由上下文语境，再加上衔接词and（注意文中没用but,说明此处表示并列，而非转折）可推知，作者的行为自然要受到老师的反对。此处学生易误选support一词而造成语意前后矛盾，以致偏离主题。
14. B. 考点是：副词词义辨析。
从文中可知，作者大胆尝试，抵制压力，克服困难，最终考入皇家音乐学院，所以B项（最终地）为正确答案。
15. C. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
由第四段最后一句可知，应是作者毕业时获得学院最高荣誉奖，其它三项不妥。
16. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
根据文章，作者经过不懈努力，后来成为第一位专职打击音乐独奏演员，再由下句“…had been written specially for solo percussionists.”中write一词的同义复现，可确定上句答案为A项。
17. D. 考点是：不定代词词义辨析。
考查代词词义，根据上下文逻辑，在此作者想表达很少有人来专门为打击音乐独奏演员来谱曲，所以出现上文作者挺身而出，竭力为演员们来谱曲，所以此题D项为正确答案。
18. B. 考点是：连词用法。
根据上下文逻辑，可知此处应使用表示转折的关联词，选项A (however)虽然表示转折含义，但不用做连词，不能连接句子，故排除。所以B项为正确答案。
19. A. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
根据文意和句式结构（此句为双重否定句）可知，mean表示：“意味着”，为最佳答案。
20. D. 考点是：动词词义辨析。
作者通过自身经历劝导人们不要为别人的思想而束缚自己，故D项 (limited表示：限制)为最佳答案。
B

【答案与解析】
主要内容是：人们一般认为孩子要进行运动，因为运动是有趣的，而且可以使孩子保持身体健康。然而，对孩子来说，进行体育运动也有消极的作用。
1. B．根据句中的however可知此处是表示了语意的转折，那么就要选择一个表示否定、消极的意义的词，所以选择negative。restrictive是“受约束的，限制的”，active是“积极的”，instructive是“有教育意义的”，都不合题意。
2. D．此处的shout at和后面的call names构成并列关系，容易选出。
3. A．根据句意“这会给孩子留下不好的印象”，leave impression是“留下印象”的意思。
4. B．根据句意知“很多研究人员认为，成年人，尤其是父母和教练，是在孩子的运动出现很多攻击/侵略行为的起因”，导致某事发生的原因用cause,其他三项意思不合句意。
5. C．根据上下文可知，“他们认为孩子在模仿/复制成年人的行为”，故选择copy。
6. A．据上下文知道，大人们经常是有意无意地把这样的信息传达给孩子，那就是“在运动中取胜就是一切”，所以，选择winning。
7. D．在运动中对其他的选手，即对手当然是insults(辱骂/侮辱的言行)。
8. C．大人们常因为自己的孩子在运动中表现出进攻性、侵略性动作时就为之欢呼、加油。
9. A．同样，孩子们甚至被教导到伤害对手是可以被接受的，所以选择acceptable, impolite是“不礼貌的”，possible是“可能的”，accessible是“易接近的”，均不合题意。
10. B．这里是又说到了另外的一个方面，即media的作用，所以，此处要填in addition。
11. B．此处考查短语意思辨析。face up to是“面对，直面”的意思，符合句意。look up to是“尊重”的意思，make up for是“弥补，补偿”的意思，come up with是“提出，提供，赶上”的意思，都不合句意。
12. A．此处填in particular表示“尤其”，强调尤其是父母或教练应当给孩子们树立起好的榜样。in all是“总共”，in return是“作为报答，作为回报”,in advance是“提前”的意思，都不合此处意思。
13. C．根据句意，“父母或教练应该教给孩子更好的价值观”，而不是“技术、手段、方向”。
14. D．enjoy oneself 是固定搭配，意为“过得愉快”，其他三项意思不符。
15. C．根据句意“如果大人们告诉孩子受伤了也要继续进行运动，他们就给了孩子这样的信息，即：生命健康不如获胜重要”，所以此处要选择health，而不是body(身体)，fame(名誉)，spirit(精神)。

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 13 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 14 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want Why can’t she get it What changes must she make to get what she wants If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 15 .
