Answer 1

 答案：

       76:failed

       77:months

       78:proud

       79:quick

       80:language

       81:show

       82:weak

       83:family

       84:nervous

       85:started

       解析：

    76:考查動詞。本句意思為“然而他在獨奏表演中失敗了”，本題需要注意到“however”前面的“success”，“however”表示轉折，所以此空應填入“success”相反意思的詞。“失敗”的動詞形式為“fail”, 再觀察時態為一般過去時，故答案為“failed”考查動詞。

    77:考查名詞。本句意思為“他訓練了幾周的時間，這幾周就似乎幾個月。”通過前面的 “weeks”和 “seem like”，不難想出此空填 “月份”這個單詞。需要注意要用復數形式。故答案為“months”

    78:考查形容詞。本句意思為“他想要使他的家長為他感到自豪”。考查固定搭配“be proud of”“對.....感到自豪”

    79:考查形容詞。本句意思為“他的老師說他學得很快。” “be quick to do”表示“做某事很快”。   

    80:考查名詞。本句意思為“事實上是他看待音樂如另一門語言，另一種同人們談話的方式。”重點關注another這個詞，表示 “另一...”，所以“language”用單數，當然通過句意，也可知道此處應用單數。   

    81:考查名詞。本句意思為“他急于向他們展示他是全班最好的。”通過句意，得知此處填“show”，“展示，顯示”的意思。另外，“be anxious to do sth. 急于做某事”，故用動詞原形show。

    82: 考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應填入形容詞。通過下一段的“tremble 顫抖”，得知此時Tom很緊張，所以他的膝蓋感到虛弱，即緊張得腿發軟的意思。故填“weak”。

    83:考查名詞。本句意思為“他觀察著臺下的觀眾，看到他的家人對著他微笑。”本題需看到前文的“他的爺爺，阿姨和叔叔都前來聽他的演奏”得知此空填“家人family”一詞。

    84: 考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應填入形容詞, 第82題提到，他的腿發軟了，同時后文有“tremble 顫抖”，都可以說明他很緊張，故此空填入nervous。

    85:考查動詞。本題考查短語“start over 重新開始”。本句意思為“他重新開始，認為這樣做應該會有幫助。”另外注意時態為一般過去時，故填入“started”。
