Ⅲ.完形填空
As
a

I
started
learning
to

but
I
was

I

It's

when
I
recall

During

I
kept

that
I

However,
I
didn't
keep

because
I
was
__5__
with
my

__6__I
lost
touch
with
my

Some

died.
I
was

sad
because
I
lost

She

colleagues.
I
was
so
__11__
that
I
could
hardly
say
anything.
But
her
__12__
helped
ease
my
shame.
These
memories,
__13__，
good
or
bad,
never
caused
my
__14__
to
play
the
piano
again.
This
thought
then
led
me
to
think
that
__15__
is
like
music,
and
that
we
all
try
to
play
different
__16__
in
the
instrument
of
our
life.
Sometimes
the
pitch
(音高)
is
__17__
when
we
play
it
well,
but
sometimes
we
are
out
of
tone.
However,
we

continue
to
create
our

style
of
music.
No
matter
what
style
our
music
is,
it
is
__19__
that

Besides,

答案
Ⅲ.完形填空
本文主要介绍了作者学习弹钢琴的经历，告诉我们：人生就像音乐，无论我们的音乐风格是什么，唱快乐、平静和爱的歌才是重要的。
1．A 孩提时，“我”开始学习弹奏我最喜欢的乐器(instrument)——钢琴。但是，当“我”上中学时，为了(so
that)能够更加集中注意力学习，“我”被迫放弃了。performance“表演”；
room“房间”；stage“舞台”。故A项正确。
2．B 参见上题解析。because“因为”；now
that“既然”；for“因为”。故B项正确。
3．B 今天，当“我”悲伤地回想时，停止练习钢琴是“我”最遗憾的一件事。success“成功”；regret“遗憾”；decision“决定”；hobby“业余爱好”。故B项正确。
4．D 在随后的几年里，“我”一再告诉“我”的钢琴老师“我”将回来(return)。play“玩耍”；graduate“毕业”；leave“离开”。故D项正确。
5．A 然而，因为忙于学习“我”食言了。angry“愤怒的”；satisfied“满意的”；patient“有耐心的”。be
occupied
with“忙于……”，故A项正确。
6．D 渐渐地(Gradually)，“我”与老师失去了联系。actually“实际上，事实上”；constantly“始终，一直”；suddenly“突然”。故D项正确。
7．C “我”从没回来过，可能她会感到失望。
astonished“吃惊的”；
glad“高兴的”；
disappointed“失望的，沮丧的”；amazed“惊奇的”。故C项正确。
8．C 从那以后，“我”没有上课，但是说实话，“我”想(wanted)去。like“喜欢”；need“需要”；decide“决定”。故C项正确。
9．D 坐在钢琴前，“我”不禁回想起许多记忆(memories)。dream“梦”；expression“表达”；word“单词”。故D项正确。
10．A 有一次，当“我”在她同事面前错误地弹完一首曲子后，她指导(instructed)了“我”。hurt“伤害”；punish“惩罚”；respect“尊敬”。故A项正确。
11．C “我”感到如此的尴尬以至于不能说任何话。frightened“害怕”；moved“感动的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；excited“激动的”。故C项正确。
12．C 但是，她的安慰(comfort)帮助缓解了“我”的羞愧。happiness“快乐”；satisfaction“满意”；sigh“叹气”。故C项正确。
13．D 然而(however)，这些或好或坏的记忆却从来没有激起“我”再次弹钢琴的勇气(courage)。instead“反而”；meanwhile“与此同时”；therefore“因此”。根据句意前后形成对比可知，D项正确。
14．B 参见上题解析。hope“希望”；feeling“感情”；effort“努力”。故B项正确。
15．A 这种想法使“我”认为人生(life)就像音乐，而且我们所有的人都在试着扮演着不同的角色(roles)。learning“学习”；attitude“态度”；
enjoyment“享受”。故A项正确。
16．C 参见上题解析。card“卡片”；sport“体育运动”；
game“游戏，比赛”。故C项正确。
17．B 有时，当我们演奏得好时，音高是精彩的(wonderful)。hard“困难的”；surprising“令人惊奇的”；complex“复杂的”。故B项正确。
18．A 然而，我们继续创造着我们自己独特的(unique)音乐风格。boring“令人生厌的”；
common“普通的”；similar“相似的”。故A项正确。
19．D 不管我们的音乐风格是什么，我们唱快乐、平静和爱的歌才是重要的(important)。necessary“必要的”；strange“陌生的”；possible“可能的”。故D项正确。
20．B 尽管我可能从来没有回来学习钢琴，但并不意味着(mean)我已经停止创作音乐了。matter“有关系，要紧”；report“报告”；appear“出现”。故B项正确。
Ⅳ.语法填空
1．a 考查冠词。child是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，表示“一个”好孩子。
2．Unfortunately 考查副词。不幸的是，情况并非如此。根据逗号的提示可知，此处应用所给词的副词形式，修饰整个句子，作状语。再根据句意可知，应用Unfortunately。
3．confidence 考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，作定语，故用confidence。
4．shutting 考查现在分词。shut和句子主语I构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。
5．after 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处应用连词after，表示“在……之后”。
6．depressed 考查形容词。由句子的主语I和该空前的逗号可知，应用形容词depressed在句子中作状语。
7．of 考查介词。此处表示“最珍贵的时刻之一”，故用of。
8．had
noticed 考查过去完成时。notice的动作发生在said之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。
9．hers 考查代词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，且由空格前的“my
hands”可知，此处用名词性物主代词hers，表示她的手。
10．who 考查非限定性定语从句。who引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词the
headmaster。
