【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要記述了一次失敗的演出。湯姆由于上臺后很緊張，盡管準(zhǔn)備的很充分，但是這次演出效果也不是很好。

【1】考查動詞。本句意思為“然而他在獨(dú)奏表演中失敗了”，本題需要注意到“however”前面的“success”，再觀察時(shí)態(tài)為一般過去時(shí)，故答案為“failed”考查動詞。

【2】句意：他已經(jīng)練習(xí)了好幾周，那似乎像是幾個(gè)月。根據(jù)題意可知用過去完成時(shí)。故填practiced/ practised。

【3】 考查形容詞。本句意思為“他想要使他的家長為他感到自豪”�？疾楣潭ù钆洹癰e proud of”“對……感到自豪”。故填proud。

【4】考查形容詞。本句意思為“他的老師說他學(xué)得很快�！� “be quick to do”表示“做某事很快”。故填quick 。

【5】考查名詞。本句意思為“事實(shí)上是他看待音樂如另一門語言，另一種同人們談話的方式�！敝攸c(diǎn)關(guān)注another這個(gè)詞，表示 “另一……”，所以“l(fā)anguage”用單數(shù)，當(dāng)然通過句意，也可知道此處應(yīng)用單數(shù)。故填language。

【6】考查名詞。本句意思為“他急于向他們展示他是全班最好的�！蓖ㄟ^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。故填show。

【7】考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應(yīng)填入形容詞。通過下一段的“tremble 顫抖”，得知此時(shí)Tom很緊張，所以他的膝蓋感到虛弱，即緊張得腿發(fā)軟的意思。故填“weak”。

【8】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。故填family。

【9】考查形容詞。首先通過felt得知此處應(yīng)填入形容詞, 第82題提到，他的腿發(fā)軟了，同時(shí)后文有“tremble 顫抖”，都可以說明他很緊張，故填nervous。

【10】 句意：他做了一個(gè)深呼吸。根據(jù)句意及所給首字母提示故填breath。
