16、词 a 修饰。故填 a。2used考查固定搭配。used to do sth.表示“过去常常做某事”。故填 used。3up考查固定搭配。up to 为固定搭配，此处意为“多达”。故填 up。4pretending考查非谓语动词。结合句意，Jimi 过去经常拿着扫帚听父亲的蓝调唱片，假装着像在弹吉他一样。句中主语 Jimi 与 pretend 之间为主动关系，此处应使用现在分词 pretending，作状语表示一种状态和方式。故填 pretending。5Neither考查代词。结合文意，他们的天赋都不是在刚出生就有的。本句表示否定含义，且在两者之间否定，所以此处应使用 neither，表示“
17、两者都不”。故填 Neither。6truly考查副词。此空修饰副词 hard，应使用 true 的副词形式 truly。故填 truly。7was told/had been told考查时态和语态。结合句意可知，Albert Einstein 被告知他永远都不会是一个成功者。主语与动词 tell 之间为被动关系，所以应使用被动语态。结合句中 would 可知这件事情发生在过去，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为he，故填was told；同时，此处是讲述过去的事情，也可能发生在过去的过去，所以也可以使用过去完成时的被动语态，故填has been told。故填 was told/had been told。8success考查名词。句中此处前有不定冠词 a 修饰，结合句意可知，此处应填 succeed 的名词 success，意为“成功的人”。故填 success。9his考查代词。on ones own 为固定短语，意为“靠自己的力量；独立”。因为主语是he，故填his。10who考查定语从句。句中定语从句修饰先行词 these，结合文意可知，此处指代人。且引导词在从句中作主语。所以应使用 who 来引导定语从句。故填 who。
