“I decided at age 10 that I wanted to learn how to play the piano,    3    it was going to take a little bit    4    work for me to learn,” Simmons says. “I knew most people had 10 fingers while I had four, yet I was pretty    5    I could make it work.”

The Warren, Ohio teenager was born with a genetic    6    called ectrodactyly (先天*缺指畸形). He has three fingers on his right hand and    7    finger on his left. But it didn’t    8    Simmons from following his    9   . With no formal training, Simmons taught himself by ear how to play the piano. He practiced and practiced, finding a way to    10    the keys with four fingers while mastering the pedals with his prostheses(假肢).

Simmons knew he would have to    11    his own style of playing. “I couldn’t base it    12    the technique of somebody who has 10 fingers. It just wouldn’t    13   .” He says. “That’s    14    it was hard for me to take piano lessons. It’s very    15    for somebody who has learned how to play with 10 fingers to adjust and teach me with only four.”

The now 18-year-old not only learned how to play and read music but also began composing.

His mother, Tamara Simmons, isn’t surprised by Darrius’    16   . She knows how focused and    17    he can be.

From mastering music to beating    18    challenges, Darrius Simmons sets out to    19    the world. “I like to be somebody’s    20   ,” he says. “If I play in front of a whole crowd and I see one person smile, that’s a job well done.”

【分析】

本文是一篇記敍文,講述了西蒙斯患有先天*缺指畸形,只有四根手指,他卻頑強地敵克服了身體障礙,學會了*鋼琴,他的事蹟鼓舞了全世界的人。

1.考查動詞詞義辨析。句意:當他看別人演奏時,他對鋼琴給他們帶來的快樂感到驚訝。A. frightened使害怕;B. amazed使驚奇;C. interested使感興趣;D. disturbed打擾。空前一句説在很小的時候,西蒙斯就愛上了鋼琴,因此當他看別人演奏時,他對鋼琴給他們帶來的快樂感到驚訝,故B項正確。

2.考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:他也想體驗一下那種感覺,但他知道這對他來説是個挑戰。A. challenge挑戰;B. opportunity機會;C. fortune運氣;D. trouble麻煩。根據下文中的“I knew most people had 10 fingers while I had four”可知,西蒙斯只有四根手指,因此學習鋼琴對他來説是一個巨大的挑戰,故A項正確。

3.考查連詞詞義辨析。句意:十歲的時候我就決定要學習*鋼琴,但是我需要下更大的功夫去學習。A. while而;B. but但是;C. and並且;D. therefore因此。“十歲時就決定學習鋼琴”和“下更大的功夫去學習”之間是轉折關係,故B項正確。

4.考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意同上。A. more更多的;B. much多的;C. fewer更少的;D. less更少的。根據空後的“work for me to learn”可知,此處指“下更大的功夫學習鋼琴”,空前的a little bit修飾形容詞比較級,故A項正確。

11.考查動詞詞義辨析。句意:西蒙斯知道他必須形成自己的演奏風格。A. adopt採取;B. abandon遺棄;C. develop發展、形成;D. change改變。根據空後的“his own style of playing.”可知,西蒙斯知道他必須形成(發展)自己的演奏風格,故C項正確。

12.考查固定搭配。句意:我不能把它建立在一個有十根手指的人的技術上(用正常人的演奏方式*鋼琴)。base sth on 表示“把某事(物)建立在……基礎之上”,故D項正確。

13.考查動詞詞義辨析。句意:這根本行不通。A. support支持;B. run經營、運轉;C. operate*作;D. work起作用。空前一句西蒙斯説不能把自己的演奏風格建立在一個有十根手指的人的技術上(用正常人的演奏方式*鋼琴),此處解釋原因——因為這根本行不通,故D項正確。

20.考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:“我喜歡成為別人的動力,”他説,“如果我在一羣人面前表演,我看到一個人在微笑,那就説明我做得很好”。A. partner夥伴;B. symbol象徵;C. aim目標;D. motivation激勵、動力。空後一句西蒙斯説,“如果我在一羣人面前表演,我看到一個人在微笑,那就説明我做得很好”,這説明他想成為鼓舞別人的動力,故D項正確。

【點睛】

本篇第14空B項because的干擾*較大,注意because與why引導表語從句的區別,that’s because表示“那是因為”,後面接原因;而that’s why表示“那是為什麼(……的原因)”,後面接結果,空後的“it was hard for me to take piano lessons”屬於結果,此處是説:這就是我很難上鋼琴課的原因,故A項(why)正確。
