14.Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧).People came just to hear him(44)play(play).But one night,a lady asked him to sing a song."I don't sing,'said the man.I have played the piano here for five years.But I(45)haven't sung( not sing)a song before others at any time."said the man.
But the lady told the waiter,‘I'm tired of(46)listening(listen) to the piano.I want the player to sing!'
The waiter(47)shouted( shout) across the room,‘Hey,friend!If you want to get your money,sing a song!'
So he did.He had never sung in public before.Now he(48)was singing(sing) for the very first time!Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!
He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on!He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar.But once he found,by accident,that he could sing well,he went on(49)working(work) hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US.His name was Nat King Cole.
You,too,have skills and abilities.You may not(50)feel(feel) that your talent is great,but it may be better than you think.With hard work,most skills can(51)be improved( improve).Besides,you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.
分析 文章大意:此文讲述了一个叫Nat King Cole的酒吧钢琴手,从来只是弹钢琴,一天一个妇女要他唱歌,他一开口唱歌才发现自己有唱歌的天赋,告诉我们要善于发现自己隐藏的天赋,通过努力,大多数技能都可以提高的.
解答 44.play 考查固定搭配.hear sb do sth表示听某人做某事的全过程,且动作是经常发生的.由People came just to hear him(44)(play).But one night,a lady asked him to sing a song可推测此处表示的是人们来酒吧只是听他弹钢琴,弹钢琴这个动作是经常发生的,填play的原形即可.
45.haven't sung 考查时态.由I have played the piano here for five years可推测"我任何时候都没有在人前唱过歌"要用现在完成时,结构为助动词have/has+过去分词.此处主语I是第一人称单数,要用have,且括号中有否定副词not,放在助动词have后缩写为haven't,再加上sing的过去分词即可.
46.listening 考查固定搭配.be tired of doing sth表示做某事感到厌倦,此处表示我厌倦了听钢琴,填listen的动名词形式.
47.shouted 考查时态.由once可知这是描述的过去的事情,要用一般过去时,所以此处的谓语动词要用过去式,填shout的过去式即可.
48.was singing 考查时态.由now可知时态是进行时,由once可知是描述的过去的事情,要用过去进行时,结构为was/were+现在分词.主语he是第三人称单数,所以要用was加上sing的现在分词.
49.working 考查固定搭配.go on doing sth表示继续做某事,此处表示他继续努力工作,填work的动名词形式即可.
50.feel 考查固定用法.空格处feel是动词,在情态动词may后要填动词的原形,填feel的原形即可.
51.be improved 考查被动语态.结合语境可知此处表示通过努力,大多数技能都可以被提高,improve与skills间是动宾关系,当skills作主语时要用被动语态,结构为be+过去分词.此处在情态动词can后要填be的原形,再加上improve的过去分词.
点评 考查平日语法知识的积累,注意人称时态和名词的数的变化,并结合语境来用所给词的正确形式填空,注意上下文间的逻辑关系是解题关键.
