“William, why do you want to learn the piano?” the teacher asked.
“I want to play for my mother.”
She noticed the 33 in his eyes as he answered her. She had no heart to 34 and accepted William as her student. But at each music lesson, William appeared to be in a hurry and played 35 “My mother is waiting outside for me,” he would tell the teacher. She was tempted to advise William not to 36 his time with lessons anymore as he 37 hit the right notes. 38 there was something about William — - she was fascinated with the tender look in his eyes 39 he mentioned “Mother”.
Suddenly, William stopped coming for his lessons. At the end of the semester year, the music teacher decided to 40 a piano recital (独奏会) for her students and she asked them to participate.
She was 41 to find William’s application to contribute a musical piece. She would place him last in the recital 42 he made mistakes.
The day came and William appeared. 43 it was his turn to play, William bowed before the audience and said he was thankful for the music teacher’s 44 with him. “Tonight I am dedicating (献)my music to my mother.” he said.
Everyone later asked why William did not bring his mother as she would 45 be proud. William replied, “My mother was 46 and she could never 47 me play during her life time. 48 she sacrificed her time and money to let me learn the piano. This morning Mother passed away. I am sure she is now 49 as she can hear my piano recital. I chose a piece of piano music by Beethoven. As you all know, Beethoven was deaf by the end of his career. But music always symbolized his 50 for freedom and I would like to dedicate it to Mother.”

解析
小题1:．D 词汇运用题。题干中的“her students to start”属于sb.to do 搭配。hope不能跟这种搭配。其他选项都可跟sb.to do 搭配，但在这种语境中，只能是preferred符合意义上的要求，指宁愿她的学生们在很小年龄的时候开始学音乐。
小题1:．A 生活常识题。与“弹钢琴”有联系的当然是fingers。
小题1:．C 行文逻辑题。根据故事的结局可知，Williams的妈妈患病，危在旦夕，所以他一说起妈妈就会难过。
小题1:．B 词汇运用题。根据语境可知，此处要用turn him down表示“拒绝”。put him down“奚落某人”；put him off“拖延”；turn sb off“打发某人走”，此句意为“她无心拒绝他”。
小题1:．A 语境判断题。与前面的“in a hurry(急急忙忙)”相一致，此处要用played badly意指“弹钢琴也是处处是错”。
小题1:．D 语境判断题。此处表示出了音乐老师对William的失望。所以她很想告诉他别再把时间浪费在音乐方面了。
小题1:．B 行文逻辑题。此处是指老师想劝William别浪费时间学音乐了，是因为他从来没有弹出一个准确的音符。
小题1:．D 行文逻辑题。此处表达了老师的矛盾心理，一是劝他别把时间浪费在学音乐上了，另一方面William每当提到妈妈时候，眼中就流露出温柔的眼神，这位老师被深深地吸引住了。
小题1:．C 语法判断题。each time在此处引导时间状语从句，意为“每当……时候”。
小题1:．D 词汇运用题。学期末，音乐老师想组织一音乐演奏会。support“支持”；intend“打算；企图”；organize“组织”。
小题1:．B 行文逻辑题。因为William后来都没来学了，所以看到他申请参加独奏会，老师应该惊讶。
小题1:．C 语法题。“以防他会出错”是“所他放在最后一位表演”的目的。as far as“就……而言”；if only“要是……就好了”；now that“既然”。
小题1:．D 语法题。此处意指“当该轮到他表演的时候”。
小题1:．A 行文逻辑题。从前文可看出，音乐老师虽然认为他不适合学音乐，但还是对他很耐心的，所以，这个时候William要感谢的自然是她的patience。advice“忠告”；guide“指导”；concern“关心；担心”，这三个词均与行文没有联系。
小题1:．A 生活常识题。根据常识，孩子演奏家长肯定很自豪和高兴。
小题1:．B 行文逻辑题。William在后文提到Beethoven的“deaf”，由此推知，此处要用deaf。
小题1:．D 由第16个空推知此处要用hear，指妈妈在有生之年不能听到他的钢琴演奏了。
小题1:．C 行文逻辑题。此处的意思是“她虽然听不到我的演奏，但她还是牺牲时间和钱让我学钢琴”。
小题1:．A 语境判断题。现在妈妈在天堂能够听到了我的钢琴演奏，所以她一定高兴的。
小题1:．B 行文逻辑题。此处的意思是提“对已失聪的贝多芬来说，音乐象征着追求自由的奋斗”。此处要用struggle表示此义。effort“努力”；belief“信念”；challenge“挑战”。
核心考点

举一反三
Now, the truth is, no matter how hard you work, you’re not going to ace (取得好成绩) every class. You’re not going to succeed the first time you try something. There are going to be times when you screw up (弄糟). There will be times where you hurt people you love. There will be times when you make a mistake and you stray (偏离) from the values that you hold most deeply.
And when that happens, it’s the easiest thing in the world to start looking around for somebody else to blame. Your professor was too hard; the coaches were playing favorites; your friend just didn’t understand.
No, but this is an easy habit to get into. You see it every day in Washington — every day -—folks calling each other names, making all sorts of accusations on television. Everybody is always pointing a finger at somebody else. You notice that?
Now, this community could have easily gone down that road. This community could have made excuses — well, our kids have fewer advantages, our schools have fewer resources — how can we compete? You could have spent years pointing fingers— blaming parents, blaming teachers, blaming the principal , blaming the superintendent.
But that’s — Class of 2010, I want you to pay attention on this because that’s not what happened. Instead, this community was honest with itself about where you were falling short. You decided to do better, push your kids harder, open their minds wider, expose them to all kinds of ideas and people and experiences.
So, graduates, I hope you’ll continue those efforts. Don’t make excuses. And I hope that wherever you go, you won’t narrow the broad intellectual and social exposure you’ve had here at Kalamazoo Central — instead, seek to expand it. Don’t just hang out with people who look like you or share your political views. Broaden your circle to include people with different backgrounds and life experiences, because that’s how you’ll end up learning what it’s like to walk in somebody else’s shoes. That’s how you’ll come to understand the challenges other people face.
And this is not just an academic exercise. It’s a way to broaden your ambit (范围) of concern and learn to see yourselves in each other.
—adapted from US President Barack Obama’s graduation ceremony speech at the Kalamazoo Central High School.

I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 31 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 32 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 33 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes 34 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We 35 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 36 the name of John.
John had never been 37 in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we 39 a match with our biggest opponent(对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 40 He rolled over, and his opponent 41 him halfway through his roll. He waspinned(压住) 42 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 43 John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The 44 presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”
We used to have this big 45 in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets 46 .”
John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not 47 and he knew it. But he waited for the 48 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real 49 is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to 50 it.

When he got outside, Johnny told his parents everything.

Each of us had a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive（认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three – year – old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over – protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.
Everyone from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement（增强）love, respect and need for the landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
