【解析】

1.考查动词。本句意思为“然而他在独奏表演中失败了”，本题需要注意到“however”前面的“success”，“however”表示转折，所以此空应填入“success”相反意思的词。“失败”的动词形式为“fail”, 再观察时态为一般过去时，故答案为“failed”考查动词。

2.考查名词。本句意思为“他训练了几周的时间，这几周就似乎几个月。”通过前面的 “weeks”和 “seem like”，不难想出此空填 “月份”这个单词。需要注意要用复数形式。故答案为“months”

3.考查形容词。本句意思为“他想要使他的家长为他感到自豪”。考查固定搭配“be proud of”“对.....感到自豪”

4.考查形容词。本句意思为“他的老师说他学得很快。” “be quick to do”表示“做某事很快”。

5.考查名词。本句意思为“事实上是他看待音乐如另一门语言，另一种同人们谈话的方式。”重点关注another这个词，表示 “另一...”，所以“language”用单数，当然通过句意，也可知道此处应用单数。

6.考查名词。本句意思为“他急于向他们展示他是全班最好的。”通过句意，得知此处填“show”，“展示，显示”的意思。另外，“be anxious to do sth. 急于做某事”，故用动词原形show。

7.考查形容词。首先通过felt得知此处应填入形容词。通过下一段的“tremble 颤抖”，得知此时Tom很紧张，所以他的膝盖感到虚弱，即紧张得腿发软的意思。故填“weak”。

8.考查名词。本句意思为“他观察着台下的观众，看到他的家人对着他微笑。”本题需看到前文的“他的爷爷，阿姨和叔叔都前来听他的演奏”得知此空填“家人family”一词。

9.考查形容词。首先通过felt得知此处应填入形容词, 第82题提到，他的腿发软了，同时后文有“tremble 颤抖”，都可以说明他很紧张，故此空填入nervous。

10.考查动词。本题考查短语“start over 重新开始”。本句意思为“他重新开始，认为这样做应该会有帮助。”另外注意时态为一般过去时，故填入“started”。
