試題分析：這篇短文主要記述了一次失敗的演出。主人公湯姆由于上臺后很緊張，盡管準備的很充分，但是這次演出效果也不是很好。
小題1: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�！笆�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。
小題2: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”
小題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”
小題4: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”。
小題5: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�！敝攸c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。
小題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。
小題7: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”。
小題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�！北绢}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。
小題9: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。
小題10: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”。
點評：首字母一直是英語考試中的難點，得分率比較低。解答此類題型的方法一般就是根據文章前后句子之間意思推斷出詞義，并結合首字母推斷出所缺單詞，然后根據該單詞在句子中的句子成分，所起作用，確定單詞詞形，進行適當詞形變化。注意動詞，名詞等一般要有詞形變化，注意主謂語數的一致問題。而介詞則沒有詞形變化。在敘事性短文中，謂語動詞多為一般過去時態及現在完成時態，說明性短文中謂語動詞多為一般現在時態。
