“Yeah,anddoingitso__20__，〞Jeffadded.

Withhisfirstrecital,myfathertaughtmemoreaboutcourageanddeterminationthanallthe

wordsheusedthose30－plusyearsago.

语篇解读：我从小学二年级的时候就对每年一次钢琴独奏会感到害怕，但是在父亲所谓的“树立自信心及朝着目的而努力〞的催促之下，我一次也没有漏过。多年后，当68岁的父亲坐在钢琴前，成功的完成了他的第一次钢琴独奏会的时候，他用行动向我诠释了勇气和意志。

1．A.reflected

C．meantB．explainedD．proved

答案：C本句解释我不喜欢每年一次的钢琴独奏会的原因，是因为独奏会意味着要练习枯燥无味的曲子，并且还要在陌生人面前表演。mean“意味着〞，符合语境。reflect“反映〞；explain“解释〞；prove“证明〞。

2．A.would

C．mightB．couldD．should

答案：A根据下一句中的“Andeachyearhe'dshakehishead...〞可知，此处表示每一年我都会向父亲提出这样的恳求。would可以表示“过去经常干某事〞。

3．A.nothing

C．anythingB．everythingD．something

答案：D每一次当我提出要开溜的时候，父亲总是说一些关于树立自信心的话。

4．A.goal

C．journeyB．stageD．chance

答案：A根据前面的buildingself－confidence可知，父亲认为参加每年一次的钢琴独奏会就是在朝着人生的目的努力。goal“目的〞。

5．A.trouble

C．strengthB．satisfactionD．disappointment

答案：B根据上文语境可知，我小的时候每年都要在父亲的催促之下不得不参加钢琴独奏会，而如今父亲正在参加他的第一次钢琴独奏会，因为紧张而汗湿衣衫，所以我感到“幸灾乐祸〞。satisfaction“满意〞，符合语境。trouble“费事〞；strength“力量；力气〞；disappointment“绝望〞。

6．A.kept

C．watchedB．sentD．felt

答案：C根据videocamerainhand及下文语境可知，父亲要表演弹钢琴，而我手里拿着相机在观看父亲的表演。

7．A.through

C．againstB．fromD．before

答案：D考察介词的辨析。根据下文的“Foramomentaftermyfathersatdownatthe

keyboard〞及空格后的rise“站立〞可知，父亲在表演前就已经汗湿衣衫了。

8．A.miss

C．selectB．affordD．understand

答案：B根据buthisfamilywaspoor可知，尽管父亲从小就渴望学习音乐，但是因为家里太穷了，根本负担不起学习的费用。afford“担负得起；买得起〞，常与can或could连用。miss“错过〞；select“挑选〞；understand“理解〞。

9．A.as

C．ifB．onceD．while

答案：A根据下一句But...可知，他并没有像我们很多人那样对自己无法做到的事情感到遗憾。as“像10．A.educated

C．stuckB．protectedD．spoilt

答案：C考察动词词义辨析。educate“教育〞；protect“保护〞；stick“陷(入)；困(于)〞；spoil“惯坏；宠坏〞。句意为：尽管他还是和过去一个老样子，但是他并没有陷在那儿(停滞不前)。berootedin意为“根深蒂固的〞。

11．A.allowed

C．inspiredB．invitedD．persuaded

答案：D考察动词词义辨析。allow“允许〞；invite“邀请〞；inspire“鼓励；鼓励〞；persuade“说服〞。根据语境应该是父亲说服对方承受退休的他做学生。

12．A.roughly

C．merrilyB．simplyD．curiously

答案：B根据下文中作者的担忧可知，刚开始的时候父亲只是坐在那儿，低头看着自己的手指。simply“仅仅〞。

13．A.words

C．notesB．videosD．lessons

答案：C因为父亲要弹奏钢琴，所以作者担忧父亲忘记音符了。note“音符；音调〞。

14．A.decades

C．hoursB．weeksD．moments

答案：A根据文章第一句话及后问的IsaidtomysonJeff.可知，作者所回忆起的大脑一片空白的瞬间是小时候的事，而decade“十年〞，正符合语境。

15．A.play

C．clickB．freezeD．adjust

答案：B几十年前我也曾经有过大脑一片空白，手指动不了的经历。freeze此处表示“停住；不动〞。
