25、参见上题解析。because“因为”；now that“既然”；for“因为”。故B项正确。3B今天，当“我”悲伤地回想时，停止练习钢琴是“我”最遗憾的一件事。success“成功”；regret“遗憾”；decision“决定”；hobby“业余爱好”。故B项正确。4D在随后的几年里，“我”一再告诉“我”的钢琴老师“我”将回来(return)。play“玩耍”；graduate“毕业”；leave“离开”。故D项正确。5A然而，因为忙于学习“我”食言了。angry“愤怒的”；satisfied“满意的”；patient“有耐心的”。be occupied with“忙于”，故A项正确。6D渐
26、渐地(Gradually)，“我”与老师失去了联系。actually“实际上，事实上”；constantly“始终，一直”；suddenly“突然”。故D项正确。7C“我”从没回来过，可能她会感到失望。 astonished“吃惊的”； glad“高兴的”； disappointed“失望的，沮丧的”；amazed“惊奇的”。故C项正确。8C从那以后，“我”没有上课，但是说实话，“我”想(wanted)去。like“喜欢”；need“需要”；decide“决定”。故C项正确。9D坐在钢琴前，“我”不禁回想起许多记忆(memories)。dream“梦”；expression“表达”；word“
27、单词”。故D项正确。10A有一次，当“我”在她同事面前错误地弹完一首曲子后，她指导(instructed)了“我”。hurt“伤害”；punish“惩罚”；respect“尊敬”。故A项正确。11C“我”感到如此的尴尬以至于不能说任何话。frightened“害怕”；moved“感动的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；excited“激动的”。故C项正确。12C但是，她的安慰(comfort)帮助缓解了“我”的羞愧。happiness“快乐”；satisfaction“满意”；sigh“叹气”。故C项正确。13D然而(however)，这些或好或坏的记忆却从来没有激起“我”再次弹钢琴的勇气
28、(courage)。instead“反而”；meanwhile“与此同时”；therefore“因此”。根据句意前后形成对比可知，D项正确。14B参见上题解析。hope“希望”；feeling“感情”；effort“努力”。故B项正确。15A这种想法使“我”认为人生(life)就像音乐，而且我们所有的人都在试着扮演着不同的角色(roles)。learning“学习”；attitude“态度”； enjoyment“享受”。故A项正确。16C参见上题解析。card“卡片”；sport“体育运动”； game“游戏，比赛”。故C项正确。17B有时，当我们演奏得好时，音高是精彩的(wonderful
29、)。hard“困难的”；surprising“令人惊奇的”；complex“复杂的”。故B项正确。18A然而，我们继续创造着我们自己独特的(unique)音乐风格。boring“令人生厌的”； common“普通的”；similar“相似的”。故A项正确。19D不管我们的音乐风格是什么，我们唱快乐、平静和爱的歌才是重要的(important)。necessary“必要的”；strange“陌生的”；possible“可能的”。故D项正确。20B尽管我可能从来没有回来学习钢琴，但并不意味着(mean)我已经停止创作音乐了。matter“有关系，要紧”；report“报告”；appear“出现”。
30、故B项正确。.语法填空1a考查冠词。child是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，表示“一个”好孩子。2Unfortunately考查副词。不幸的是，情况并非如此。根据逗号的提示可知，此处应用所给词的副词形式，修饰整个句子，作状语。再根据句意可知，应用Unfortunately。3confidence考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词，修饰名词，作定语，故用confidence。4shutting考查现在分词。shut和句子主语I构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。5after考查连词。根据语境可知，此处应用连词after，表示“在之后”。6depressed考查形容词。由
31、句子的主语I和该空前的逗号可知，应用形容词depressed在句子中作状语。7of考查介词。此处表示“最珍贵的时刻之一”，故用of。8had noticed考查过去完成时。notice的动作发生在said之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。9hers考查代词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，且由空格前的“my hands”可知，此处用名词性物主代词hers，表示她的手。10who考查非限定性定语从句。who引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词the headmaster。.短文改错Dear Sir or Madam，Ive learned from the newspaper
