【解析】

本文講述了帕拉維奇尼出生在1979年7月26日，他生下來就有自閉癥，小時候很多事情不能自己做，但是他像莫扎特一樣，他能記住他聽到的每一首音樂。他看不見音符，但他可以在上面演奏音樂。到他四歲的時候，他已經(jīng)能彈很多首曲子了。在奧克福德的幫助下，九歲的帕拉維奇尼提高了自己的演奏技巧，并在倫敦巴比肯音樂廳舉辦了他的第一場大型音樂會。他在歐洲和美國各地都有演出，2006年他錄制了自己的第一張CD。

【1】句意：雖然他雙目失明，他還是設(shè)法拿到了樂器。

refused拒絕；stopped停止；managed設(shè)法做到；根據(jù)“He pushed the piano player off her chair, sat down and started to play.”可知他把鋼琴演奏者從椅子上推開，坐了下來，開始演奏，所以可推測出此處是他設(shè)法拿到了樂器，故選C。

【2】句意：他把鋼琴演奏者從椅子上推開，坐了下來，開始演奏。

sat down坐下；tried on耍弄；put up張貼；根據(jù)“He pushed the piano player off her chair”可知他把鋼琴演奏者從椅子上推開，可推測出此處是他自己坐下來演奏，故選A。

【3】句意：這是不可思議。

boring無聊的；amazing令人吃驚的；relaxing放松的；根據(jù)“He was hitting the notes ( 音 鍵 ) with his hands, his feet, his nose, even his elbows”及“Paravicini could play the music he had just heard ”可知帕拉維奇尼雖然眼盲，但是可以彈琴，讓奧克福德覺得不可思議，故選B。

【4】句意：帕拉維奇尼能夠演奏他剛才聽到的音樂。

would將；could能；should應(yīng)該；根據(jù)后文“Like Mozart, he can remember every piece of music he hears.”可知此處表示帕拉維奇尼能夠演奏他剛才聽到的音樂，所以此處用“could”，故選B。

【5】句意：那一刻奧克福德意識到這個男孩是個天才。

imagined想象；wondered想知道；realized意識到；根據(jù)“Paravicini play the music he had just heard ”可知帕拉維奇尼能夠演奏他剛才聽到的音樂，可推測出此處是奧克福德意識到這個男孩是個天才，故選C。

【6】句意：即使在今天，他也不能數(shù)到十，也不能自己穿衣吃飯。

Only僅僅；Even甚至；Also也；根據(jù)“He had great learning difficulties as a child.”及“ he can’t count to ten, and he isn’t able to dress or feed himself.”可知他有很大的學(xué)習(xí)困難及到現(xiàn)在他也不能數(shù)到十，也不能自己穿衣吃飯，可推測出此處是“甚至”，故選B。

【7】句意：但是帕拉維奇尼在音樂方面有很大的天賦。

talent天賦；dream夢想；wish祝愿；has a great talent for表示“在……父母有巨大天賦”，根據(jù)“Like Mozart, he can remember every piece of music he hears.”可知他像莫扎特一樣，他能記住他聽到的每一首音樂，所以是有天賦，故選A。

【8】句意：當他18個月大的時候，他的父母開始給了他一個塑料風(fēng)琴。

grew成長；failed失敗；started開始；根據(jù)后面說18個月，4歲，九歲等可知此段是講接觸音樂的過程，可推測出此處是填“開始”，故選C。

【9】句意：他看不見音符，但他可以在上面演奏音樂。

but但是；if如果；or或者；根據(jù)“He couldn’t see the notes,____9_____ he could play music on it.”可知兩句話之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以此處用“but”，故選A。

【10】句意：在奧克福德的幫助下，九歲的帕拉維奇尼提高了自己的演奏技巧。

plans計劃；ideas主意；skills技能；根據(jù)“played his first big concert at the Barbican Hall in London”可知在倫敦巴比肯音樂廳舉辦了他的第一場大型音樂會，可推測出此處是提高技能，故選C。

做完形填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完形時要記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空�？济�詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。

本文第3題考查形容詞。先確定三個詞的意思，分別是無聊的；令人吃驚的；放松的；然后根據(jù)帕拉維奇尼是眼盲但又能彈出剛聽過的曲子，所以奧克福德感到非常驚訝，即可得出答案，這一小題相對比較簡單。
