 答案：

       76:failed

       77:months

       78:proud

       79:quick

       82:weak

       84:nervous

       85:started

       解析：

    76:考查動詞。本句意思為“然而他在獨(dú)奏表演中失敗了”，本題需要注意到“however”前面的“success”，“however”表示轉(zhuǎn)折，所以此空應(yīng)填入“success”相反意思的詞。“失敗”的動詞形式為“fail”, 再觀察時態(tài)為一般過去時，故答案為“failed”考查動詞。

    77:考查名詞。本句意思為“他訓(xùn)練了幾周的時間，這幾周就似乎幾個月�！蓖ㄟ^前面的 “weeks”和 “seem like”，不難想出此空填 “月份”這個單詞。需要注意要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故答案為“months”

    78:考查形容詞。本句意思為“他想要使他的家長為他感到自豪”�？疾楣潭ù钆洹癰e proud of”“對.....感到自豪”

    79:考查形容詞。本句意思為“他的老師說他學(xué)得很快�！� “be quick to do”表示“做某事很快”。   

    80:考查名詞。本句意思為“事實(shí)上是他看待音樂如另一門語言，另一種同人們談話的方式�！敝攸c(diǎn)關(guān)注another這個詞，表示 “另一...”，所以“l(fā)anguage”用單數(shù)，當(dāng)然通過句意，也可知道此處應(yīng)用單數(shù)。   

    81:考查名詞。本句意思為“他急于向他們展示他是全班最好的�！蓖ㄟ^句意，得知此處填“show”，“展示，顯示”的意思。另外，“be anxious to do sth. 急于做某事”，故用動詞原形show。

    82: 考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應(yīng)填入形容詞。通過下一段的“tremble 顫抖”，得知此時Tom很緊張，所以他的膝蓋感到虛弱，即緊張得腿發(fā)軟的意思。故填“weak”。

    83:考查名詞。本句意思為“他觀察著臺下的觀眾，看到他的家人對著他微笑�！北绢}需看到前文的“他的爺爺，阿姨和叔叔都前來聽他的演奏”得知此空填“家人family”一詞。

    84: 考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應(yīng)填入形容詞, 第82題提到，他的腿發(fā)軟了，同時后文有“tremble 顫抖”，都可以說明他很緊張，故此空填入nervous。

    85:考查動詞。本題考查短語“start over 重新開始”。本句意思為“他重新開始，認(rèn)為這樣做應(yīng)該會有幫助�！绷硗庾⒁鈺r態(tài)為一般過去時，故填入“started”。
