【考点解读】
完形填空主要考查考生对语篇语境的理解，同时注重动词及其短语、名词和形容词的考察；兼顾考查：副词、介词及其短语和连词；空格的设置以句内层次设空(较易)、句群层次设空(较难)为主，语篇层次设空(最难)为辅。

【考向策略】
答题技巧1.利用语篇语境、逻辑关系解题
完形填空主要考查根据上下文提供的信息进行分析、推理、判断的能力。所以考生在做题时①通过语篇内容进行推断：把握全文，可以避免断章取义；②通过上下文语境进行推断：从上下文中寻找提示或暗示，对文章的情节进行合理的推理判断。必须将词语辨析与上下文情节推理和逻辑推理结合起来，从词汇意义入手，抓住情节线索解决问题。做题时严格区分、细心比较，看其搭配、惯用法，尤其看其内涵和外延，即词义的差异，才能找出一个合乎情理的答案。
2.利用搭配、同义复现、常识解题
固定搭配包括固定词组搭配和语法题两种，随着“突出语篇”的命题原则，这类题目越来越少。
词汇复现的信息包括原词复现，同义词、近义词和反义词复现，概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象，如：与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现，结构同现，同义同现，修饰同现，因果同现等。考生可以利用这些现象解题。
有些情况下考生可以根据上下文的意思，从自己的生活经验、知识储备、常识和常规逻辑出发，正确理解题意，推断正确答案。

Passage 3
【语篇简析】本文是记叙文。根据文章第一句话“For a long time Gabriel didn’t want to be involved in music at all.很长一段时间，Gabriel根本不想与音乐有什么瓜葛。”可以预测：主人公Gabriel以后对学习音乐的态度可能会有所改变。浏览全文发现：文章叙述了主人公Gabriel从不喜欢音乐到喜欢音乐的转变过程。文章围绕Gabriel对音乐的态度的变化展开，从不喜欢学音乐到发现自己的兴趣所在，其中暗含了“不怕吃苦，不在意他人的评价”这样的道理。
36.【答案】D
【解析】联系下文“with their heavy instrument cases”可知，每天上学的时候，Gabriel常常用同情的目光看着背着沉重乐器的同学们艰难地穿梭于校园中，struggle(walk with great difficulty)艰难地行走，符合语境。travel旅行；march前进，行军，游行；pace踱步，来回走。
37.【答案】D
【解析】联系下文“ ___37___ at school for practice hours ___38___ anyone else”可知，学习音乐的同学需要比不学音乐的早到学校几个小时(是为了练习弹奏乐器)。turn up(=show up)在此意为“出现”，符合语境。rise up上升，耸立，起来造反，起义；come up上来，发生，提到；drive up驱车来到，使……上升。
38.【答案】A
【解析】联系下文作者说“自己讨厌很早去学校”可知，学习音乐的学生要比其他学生到校时间之前(before)到校。故A正确。
39.【答案】C
【解析】上文已经说了总是同情地看着背着沉重乐器的同学们艰难地穿梭于校园中，再联系下文“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知，Gabriel讨厌过早到校，因此他对自己发誓“不学”音乐，即回避(avoid避免，避开)音乐，故C正确。
40.【答案】B
【解析】上文即第一段描述作者很讨厌音乐，而本段后边描述他开始转变对音乐的态度并渐渐喜欢上了音乐，可知上下文在逻辑上存在转折关系，However(然而)故选B。
41.【答案】A
【解析】空格所在位置为定语从句：that was ___41___ of his school’s standard curriculum，修饰music class，意思是说：音乐课是学校的课程标准的一部分(part)，故选A。nature自然，天性；basis基础；spirit精神，心灵。
42.【答案】D
【解析】联系上文“he was playing idly(随意地)on the piano他随意地弹了弹钢琴”和下文“pick out tunes分辨出曲调”，再联系下文“actually... tried to hide... pleasure”等词和词组可以看出，Gabriel在音乐中找到了乐趣，并试图隐藏这份愉悦，由此可知，本空的意思是“发现很容易(easy)辨别出曲调”与上文的“However”相呼应，故选D项。complicate复杂的；safe安全的；confusing混乱的，混淆的，令人困惑的，迷惑不解的。
43.【答案】C
【解析】联系下文“He tried to hide his ___44___ pleasure from the music teacher他尽力隐藏自己的_______喜悦之情”，再联系上文中的“actually实际上”可知，Gabriel对音乐的看法有了变化，他实际上是喜欢(enjoyed)音乐的，也与上文的“However”相呼应。miss错过；dislike不喜欢；deny否认。
44.【解析】根据本空所在句子“He tried to hide his ___44___ pleasure from the music teacher他尽力隐藏自己的_______喜悦之情”，由“尽力”一词可以推断这种喜悦之情是很明显被人发现的，故选B。Gabriel不想让音乐老师看到自己表露出来的很明显的(obvious)喜悦之情。transparent透明的，侧重指(谎言、借口等的)易看穿的；false错误的；similar相似的。
45【答案】D
【解析】听到Gabriel弹奏乐器的声音，音乐老师就走过来聆听。wander over走过来，跑过来。run跑步造；jog慢跑；jump跳。
46.【答案】A
【解析】上文“He might not have done this particularly well”似乎跟下文的“___46___the teacher told Gabriel that he had a good ___47___, _______老师告诉他他有好的______”似乎构成了逻辑上的转折关系，所以不少考生认为选B理所当然。其实不然，对上文“He might not have done this particularly well”作深度分析可知：句中的“this”指代的是上文中“He tried to hide his obvious pleasure from the music teacher”这件事，所以“He might not have done this particularly well”的言下之意是：他本来是可以把自己的喜悦之情隐藏好的，但是没有做到。显然填but就说不通了。从下文老师告诉他的话就说明老师已经发现了他的喜悦之情。所以上下文是因果关系，下文是上文的“原因”，故选A。
47.【答案】A
【解析】结合上文“he was playing idly(随意地)on the piano and found it easy to pick out tunes.他随意地在弹了弹钢琴就发现很容易辨别出曲调”说明他听觉非常敏锐，有天赋(have a good ear)；本题可能误选B项，但是have a good taste是“很有品位，有很好的鉴赏能力”，Gabriel没有经过专业的训练，不能说他有很好的音乐鉴赏能力，所以taste(鉴赏，欣赏)不符合语境。故选A。
48.【答案】C
【解析】occur to sb.某人突然想起；take to开始喜欢；appeal to有吸引力，引起兴趣；hold to抓住。any of the instruments appealed to him=he took to any of the instruments。老师让Gabriel找一件能够吸引自己的乐器即自己喜欢的乐器。46-48题连贯起来的意思是：他本来是可以把自己的喜悦之情隐藏好的，但是没有做到，因为老师告诉他说他的听觉非常敏锐，并建议他去乐器储藏室看看有没有他喜欢的乐器。
49.【答案】B
【解析】联系上文可知Gabriel选中了一款乐器即大提琴，所以“他决定给大提琴一次机会(chance)，即尝试拉拉大提琴。change变化；mission使命；function功能。
50.【答案】C
【解析】根据下文“But he quickly found that he loved playing this instrument但是他很快发现他喜欢拉大提琴”可知：当他开始拉大提琴时，并没有认真对待，而是“非常随便(casually)地拉了一下”。seriously认真地，严肃地；proudly自豪地，骄傲地；naturally自然地。
51.【答案】A
【解析】根据上文“But he quickly found that he loved playing this instrument但是他很快发现他喜欢拉大提琴”和下文“so that within a couple of months he was playing reasonably well以便几个月之内就可以把大提琴拉得相当好”是他“致力于练习拉大提琴”的两大动力。be committed to sth./doing sth.致力于。
52.【解析】本段与第一段呼应。作者不喜欢音乐的原因是不想早早到校去练习，且背着沉重乐器的同学们艰难地穿梭于校园中，而现在既然选择了音乐，那么这当然就意味(meant)他一大早就要赶到。prove证明是；show表明，说明，展示；stress强调，给……加压力。
53.【答案】B
【解析】结合下文所跟的宾语“his heavy instrument case他的装有乐器的沉重的箱子”可知“drag吃力地拖、拉”，符合语境。push推，推动；lift提升，举起，抬起；rush急速行进，仓促完成。
54.【答案】B
【解析】联系第一段“Gabriel would look pityingly at music students. Gabriel常常用同情的目光看着学音乐的学生。”可知现在该轮到他面对“不学音乐的学生的同情的(pitying)目光”了。admiring赞赏的，钦佩的；annoying恼人的，讨厌的；teasing戏弄的，逗趣的。
55.【答案】C
【解析】leave aside把……搁置一边，不考虑；leave sb./sth. behind把……抛在后面/脑后，超过；leave out遗漏，不提及，省略，忽略。本题是选C项还是D项，考生比较纠结。其实leave out 作“忽略”的意思讲时，一般是指无意识的，而leave behind作“抛弃”的意思讲时，一般带有主观色彩。这里应该表示他是有意的不予理睬，早已置之不理了那种状态。所以应该选C项。最后一段的大意是：这当然就意味着他一大早就要赶到学校，迎着那些被他早已抛在脑后的非音乐生的同情目光，拖着沉重的乐器穿过校园。
