Question

完形填空 　　My first performance in front of the audience was coming up soon．I tried as hard as I could to remain 　　1　　, but my heart was racing．I stared down at my sweat-covered, 　　2　　 hands． 　　I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 　　3　　 people．They were not just my mum and dad, who 　　4　　 say, “Good job!” even if I messed up(弄亂)the entire piece． 　　What if I had the wrong music? What if I played the wrong notes? 　　As it 　　5　　, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 　　6　　 for me．I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat． 　　Slowly I walked to the mud-broom piano in the 　　7　　 of the room．It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I swallowed the golfball-sized lump(隆起部分)in my throat and sat down．　　8　　, I opened the music book．Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory(乳白色)keys． 　　As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 　　9　　 of my preparation for this moment．But the memory of my years of training came flooding back．I knew that I had 　　10　　 this piece so many times that I could play it backwards if 　　11　　． 　　Although at one point I accidentally played two keys instead of the intended one, I continued to move my 　　12　　 automatically(自動(dòng)地)． 　　My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me． 　　There was no 　　13　　 that I was going to lose my concentration．To keep this 　　14　　 to myself, I leaned forward and focused carefully on the music． 　　　　15　　 I came to the end of the page, a warning 　　16　　 inside my head：DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE! Needless to say, I 　　17　　 myself with all my heart and mind．And, proud of my “page-turning” feat(技藝)I finished the 　　18　　 of the piece without making a single mistake． 　　After the final note died away, a celebration went into action 　　19　　 my head．I had finished．I had mastered the 　　20　　． (1) [　　] A． unknown B． still C． calm D． quiet (2) [　　] A． shaking B． moving C． waving D． old (3) [　　] A． true B． real C． young D． old (4) [　　] A． will B． can C． could D． would (5) [　　] A． turned out B． turned up C． turned back D． turned down (6) [　　] A． looking B． searching C． expecting D． waiting (7) [　　] A． corner B． cross C． center D． back (8) [　　] A． Slowly B． Happily C． Quickly D． Suddenly (9) [　　] A． sure B． unsure C． certain D． confident (10) [　　] A． mastered B． heard C． enjoyed D． practised (11) [　　] A． requested B． request C． to be requested D． requesting (12) [　　] A． eyes B． fingers C． notes D． sweats (13) [　　] A． way B． need C． use D． sense (14) [　　] A． work B． promise C． book D． memory (15) [　　] A． Then B． Next C． When D． While (16) [　　] A． went off B． went out C． went on D． went down (17) [　　] A． told B． asked C． obeyed D． refused (18) [　　] A． other B． part C． left D． rest (19) [　　] A． inside B． outside C． out of D． on (20) [　　] A． impossibly B． possibility C． impossible D． possible

解析：

(1)	因?yàn)槭堑谝淮窝莩觯�非常緊張，所以要努力保持“鎮(zhèn)靜”。still“靜止不動(dòng)”；quiet“安靜”。
(2)	緊張的滿手是汗，還發(fā)抖。
(3)	站在舞臺(tái)上“我”意識(shí)到面前是“真正”的觀眾了，而平時(shí)練習(xí)時(shí)都是只有自己的父母觀看。A是干擾項(xiàng)。real真實(shí)的、實(shí)在的，表示實(shí)際存在，如實(shí)情、實(shí)例、實(shí)物。反義詞imaginary/invented。true真的，指事實(shí)、消息、故事等是真的，不是假的。反義詞false/fictions。
(4)	無論“我”平時(shí)彈得多糟，父母一般都會(huì)說“好”。would過去經(jīng)常。
(5)	as it turns(turned)out是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，“結(jié)果是……；事實(shí)上”。
(6)	演員上臺(tái)時(shí)聚光燈都會(huì)照射在他們身上，一直伴隨到舞臺(tái)中央，所以說 “spotlight”在等“我”，該“我”上臺(tái)了。
(7)	從文章內(nèi)容看，這是鋼琴表演，所以鋼琴應(yīng)擺在房間中央，而不能像伴奏那樣擺在邊上或角落里。
(8)	因?yàn)椤拔摇眱?nèi)心緊張，所以翻書時(shí)較慢，想借此讓自己平靜下來。
(9)	由下一句的“but…”的轉(zhuǎn)折意義可以看出，此處前后意義應(yīng)相反或相對(duì)，雖然平時(shí)已練得非常熟練，但此時(shí)也覺得沒把握了。
(10)	因?yàn)橐獏⒓友莩觯�所以要練�?xí)“practise”。
(11)	本句是一個(gè)虛擬語氣的復(fù)合句，條件從句是省略形式，完整的句子是“if I was requested to play it backwards”，過去分詞表示被動(dòng)。
(12)	“盡管我在某一節(jié)上彈錯(cuò)了一個(gè)音，但我的手指還在機(jī)械地移動(dòng)。”“my eyes burned holes into the page in front of me．”說明眼睛死死地盯著書本，所以移動(dòng)的是“手指”而不是“眼睛”。
(13)	“There was no way that…”意思是“我”決不能分散精力。no way“決不”。
(14)	“我”要遵守自己決不分散精力的諾言，所以“l(fā)eaned forward and focused carefully on the music．”。keep one’s promise遵守諾言。
(15)	when此處引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”；while，引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句中的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)是延續(xù)性的。
(16)	當(dāng)“我”彈到這一頁樂譜的最后時(shí)，一個(gè)警告在腦海中突然響起。go off突然發(fā)出、爆炸；go out外出、過時(shí)；go on繼續(xù)；go down降低、平靜下來。
(17)	由下面的“finished…”“without making a single mistake”說明自己全身心投入了。obey oneself with all one’s heart and mind跟著感覺走。
(18)	前面出過一次錯(cuò)誤，所以此處指剩下的部分“the rest of”沒出錯(cuò)。
(19)	在自己腦海里慶祝，也可以說自我慶幸。
(20)	“我”第一次表演竟然很順利，應(yīng)該是做了很了不起的事，所以說“征服了本來不可能的事”。“the加形容詞”表示一類，相當(dāng)于名詞。
