  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

答案:1.C;2.A;3.B;4.D;5.A;6.D;7.C;8.A;9.B;10.D;11.A;12.B;13.A;14.B;15.C;16.A;17.C;18.D;19.A;20.C;
解析:

(1)

因?yàn)槭堑谝淮窝莩,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(wú)論“我”平時(shí)彈得多糟,父母一般都會(huì)說(shuō)“好”。would過(guò)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(shuō) “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(shū)時(shí)較慢,想借此讓自己平靜下來(lái)。

(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(jué)得沒(méi)把握了。

(10)

因?yàn)橐獏⒓友莩,所以要練?xí)“practise”。

(11)

本句是一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)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(guò)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)!薄癿y eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.”說(shuō)明眼睛死死地盯著書(shū)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(yǔ)從句,“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”;while,引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句中的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)是延續(xù)性的。

(16)

當(dāng)“我”彈到這一頁(yè)樂(lè)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(guò)時(shí);go on繼續(xù);go down降低、平靜下來(lái)。

(17)

由下面的“finished…”“without making a single mistake”說(shuō)明自己全身心投入了。obey oneself with all one’s heart and mind跟著感覺(jué)走。

(18)

前面出過(guò)一次錯(cuò)誤,所以此處指剩下的部分“the rest of”沒(méi)出錯(cuò)。

(19)

在自己腦海里慶祝,也可以說(shuō)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(shuō)“征服了本來(lái)不可能的事”!皌he加形容詞”表示一類,相當(dāng)于名詞。

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me.
