[四川双流中学2020高一开学考]I was 11 years old when I asked my mum for piano lessons in 2010.We were in the fallout of the recession(衰退). She said a polite“no”.
That didn’t stop me. I googled the measurements of a keyboard,drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and“play”them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mum saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school,we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three,then grade five,practising only on my piece of paper.
One evening,when I was about 13,my mum said she had a surprise for me;it was an electronic keyboard,bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in astonishment.
My school didn’t offer A Level Music. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. The tryouts were difficult. Some of the questions involved the judgement about the composer or when the music was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement,I was offered a place.
At Purcell,I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved enough to buy my first piano.
When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. I feel proud: It’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano: what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped spark my curiosity about how music works and the building blocks that form the pieces.

【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在过去的400年里,小丑所代表的东西发生了很大的变化。不同文化团体对小丑的看法不一。但不管如何,孩子们还是很喜欢小丑的。
1. has changed分析句子结构可知,what they represent为句子的主语,该空需要填谓语动词。根据“主谓一致”原则,从句作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。“over the past+一段时间”是现在完成时的标志性时间状语,且 change和主语之间为主动关系。故填has。
2. the 此处form表示“形式”,为名词,后被定语从句修饰,故此处表示特指。故填the。
3. to make 句意为:小丑们穿着色彩鲜艳的衣服,有着大红鼻子和五颜六色的脸,想尽一切办法做傻事或进行恶作剧来逗乐观众。tried为本句的谓语动词,动词make与其之间无连词连接,应用非谓语动词形式,根据语境可知,“逗观众笑”是“想尽一切办法做傻事或进行恶作剧”的目的,应用不定式作目的状语。故填 to make。
4. was chosen 分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中作谓语。又因为choose和主语之间是被动关系,且根据语境和前一句中的时间状语in the 1960s可知,此处需要用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was chosen。
5. necessarily 此处修饰形容词good,应用副词。故填 necessarily。
6. hitting was为本句的谓语动词,动词hit与其之间无连词连接,应用非谓语动词作状语,动词hit与其逻辑主语he之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式,故填 hitting。
7. to give rise to 为固定搭配,意为“引起;导致”,故填to。
8. frightening 此处与evil并列作表语,应用形容词。frighten的形容词有两个:frightened(感到害怕的)和 frightening(令人害怕的),由evil可知,此处表示“令人害怕的”,故填 frightening。
9. pleasure 分析句子结构可知,and连接设空处和后面的 laughter,而laughter是名词。根据and连接并列结构可知,设空处也应填名词。故填 pleasure。
10. what 由 That’s可知,该空引导表语从句。从句缺主语,应填连接代词what,表示“吸引人们的地方”,故填what。
