Question

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years.

Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my   1   was more manageable , I  2    ten years as a professional singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs.   3    that was years ago and times have changed.   4    I live with mother on a country farm

Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to   5   my disability pension (殘疾撫恤金).   6   I needed to sleep in the afternoons,  I was limited in my   7   . I decided that I would consider  8     to singing in restaurants.

My family are all musicians, so I was   9  when I went into our local music store. I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of   10    to get started. And 11   you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can   12   use.

When I told the owner of the shop about my   13   ; he gave me a long thoughtful    14   . “This means a lot to you, doesn’ t it?” he said. “Come with me.”

He led me   15   the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand  16   on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your  17   and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”

I   18   . Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose   19  that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

His   20  still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

Answer 1

　　6題，屬于邏輯關系法，此法多用于句子與句子之間，解決連詞的問題。此題因為作者下午需要睡覺，所以受到限制。故選B.As。

　　7題，屬于上文解釋法，第三段首句提到作者打算做某事，但由于病情，下午需要睡覺，所以選擇受限，故選C.choices。

　　8題，屬于前后照應法，上文提到過幾年之前唱歌的事實，此處再次出現(xiàn)要去唱歌，故選D.goingback。

　　9題，屬于中文代入法，全家都是音樂家，所以走進音像店會被認出，故選A.recognized。

　　10題，屬于AandB法，這是并列結構，要求前后詞性與詞義要相似，幾乎在每年的高考完形中都會考查這個知識點。本題and之前說東西很貴，之后理應推出沒有足夠的錢，故選A.money。

　　11題，屬于反義多一對，即四個選項中有一組反義詞，答案多在這組反義詞中出現(xiàn)。此題C和D構成反義結構，根據文章信息，故選D.often。

　　12題，屬于中文代入法，實際上一張光盤里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故選A.actually。

　　13題，屬于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到過想再次唱歌的這個想法，故選C.idea。

　　14題，屬于同義辨析法，此考查點多在四級考試完形填空部分中出現(xiàn)，在2008年高考英語浙江卷第26題也曾考查過，當年的難度系數約為0.32。此題中的B.view強調的是眺望風景，C.look強調看的眼神，D.sight強調視力，本文店主深深地看了作者，屬于眼神之間的交流，故選C.look。

　　15題，屬于固定搭配法，店主帶領作者穿過擁擠的店鋪，從空間穿過，故選D.through。

　　16題，屬于感情色彩法，此法多用于解決形容詞或副詞。下文出現(xiàn)treasure，因此可以推出店主對自己的寶物愛不釋手，心愛地觸摸，故選B.lovingly。

　　17題，屬于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美國俚語，隨你挑選的意思，故選A.pick。

　　18題，屬于語法識別法，近幾年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化語法點考查，一般只會涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本應該做的事情而沒有做，放在原文中過于牽強，而本題是作者受到店主的感激，非常感動，本可以哭但沒有哭，故選D.couldhavecried。

　　19題，屬于尋找重復法，31題與32題之前曾出現(xiàn)onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，對應...couldsing,故選B.theones。

　　20題，屬于主旨概況法，即所選選項要與原文中心相一致。本文詳細描述店主對作者的幫助，店主的善舉感動作者，故選C.kindness。
