 答案:

       76:failed

       77:months

       78:proud

       79:quick

       80:language

       81:show

       82:weak

       83:family

       84:nervous

       85:started

       解析:

    76:考查動(dòng)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(dòng)詞形式為“fail”, 再觀察時(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí),故答案為“failed”考查動(dòng)詞。

    77:考查名詞。本句意思為“他訓(xùn)練了幾周的時(shí)間,這幾周就似乎幾個(gè)月!蓖ㄟ^(guò)前面的 “weeks”和 “seem like”,不難想出此空填 “月份”這個(gè)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(zhǎng)為他感到自豪”?疾楣潭ù钆洹癰e proud of”“對(duì).....感到自豪”

    79:考查形容詞。本句意思為“他的老師說(shuō)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(lè)如另一門語(yǔ)言,另一種同人們談話的方式。”重點(diǎn)關(guān)注another這個(gè)詞,表示 “另一...”,所以“l(fā)anguage”用單數(shù),當(dāng)然通過(guò)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。”通過(guò)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(dòng)詞原形show。

    82: 考查形容詞。首先通過(guò)felt得知此處應(yīng)填入形容詞。通過(guò)下一段的“tremble 顫抖”,得知此時(shí)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(tái)下的觀眾,看到他的家人對(duì)著他微笑。”本題需看到前文的“他的爺爺,阿姨和叔叔都前來(lái)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(guò)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(shí)后文有“tremble 顫抖”,都可以說(shuō)明他很緊張,故此空填入nervous。

    85:考查動(dòng)詞。本題考查短語(yǔ)“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(huì)有幫助!绷硗庾⒁鈺r(shí)態(tài)為一般過(guò)去時(shí),故填入“started”。

       考點(diǎn):

       76:動(dòng)詞

       77:名詞

       78:形容詞

       79:形容詞

       80:名詞

       81:動(dòng)詞

       82:形容詞

       83:名詞

       84:形容詞

       85:動(dòng)詞
