試題分析：這篇短文主要記述了一次失敗的演出。主人公湯姆由于上臺后很緊張，盡管準(zhǔn)備的很充分，但是這次演出效果也不是很好。
小題1: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�！笆�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。
小題2: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。”通過前面的 “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”
小題3: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”
小題4: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”。
小題5: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)。
小題6: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。
小題7: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”。
小題8: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。”本題需看到前文的“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。
小題9: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。
小題10: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。”另外注意時態(tài)為一般過去時，故填入“started”。
點(diǎn)評：首字母一直是英語考試中的難點(diǎn)，得分率比較低。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據(jù)文章前后句子之間意思推斷出詞義，并結(jié)合首字母推斷出所缺單詞，然后根據(jù)該單詞在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，確定單詞詞形，進(jìn)行適當(dāng)詞形變化。注意動詞，名詞等一般要有詞形變化，注意主謂語數(shù)的一致問題。而介詞則沒有詞形變化。在敘事性短文中，謂語動詞多為一般過去時態(tài)及現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，說明性短文中謂語動詞多為一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)。
