完形填空讲述的是英国著名聋女打击乐手Evelyn Glennie成功的故事。本文中的很多词汇，如：solo、percussion等在牛津英语教材模块八第二单元中均有所涉及。
小题1: B。从上下文可知Glennie不想让别人的看法（the opinions of others）左右自己成为音乐家的理想。A条件；C项行动；D项推荐。
小题1: C。Glennie八岁开始学习钢琴。take lessons上课，固定短语。
小题1: B。 从下文可知，Glennie听觉（hearing）逐渐失去，直到12岁时完全失聪（completely deaf）。
小题1: D．神经损伤（the nerve damage）是Glennie失去听觉的主要原因（cause）。evidence证据；result结果；excuse借口。
小题1: "我对音乐的爱从来没有离开过我。"根据never，句意否定，所以B项excite sb.令人激动，C项accompany sb.陪伴某人不正确。D项应为disappear from sb.。
小题1: D。人生的目标 （goal ）,purpose目的；decision决定；promise许诺。
小题1: B。"我学会了’听’（learn to do）音乐。"turn to转向（某人寻求帮助）；used to 过去常常（做某事）；ought to应该做某事。
小题1: A。tell 辨别；see看到；hear听到；smell闻到。句意是：通过振动来辨别音调的高低。
小题1: C。据句意，为了分辨音调的高低，除了通过身体对振动的感觉，还可以通过我的想象（imagination）。因为Glennie以前没有失聪过，所以不会有experience（经验）；而carefulness（细心）和身体的movement（运动）对聋人来说是无法分辨音调高低的。
小题1: A。"我只有通过调动全部的感觉（sense）器官"才能弥补失聪的遗憾来感受周围世界。定语从句I have修饰的我能拥有的sense 感觉、effort努力、feeling感情、idea想法中A项符合句意。
小题1: C。Glennie下定决心（be determined to do）要被别人评价为一名音乐家，而不是一名聋人音乐家。dissatisfied不满意的； astonished惊讶的；discouraged气馁的。A、B、D都是Glennie对别人评价的反应，而Glennie这时实际上还没有成名，所以不可能有这些感觉。
小题1: A。"以前没有失聪学生做过（done）这件事（applied to the Royal Academy of Music）"。Accept接受，advise建议，admit承认。根据语意，A项正确。
小题1: D。因为以前没有失聪学生被录取，所以一些老师反对（oppose）Glennie进入the Royal Academy of Music。
小题1: B。由于Glennie的表现，最终（finally）被录取。
小题1: C。以最高的荣誉从the Royal Academy of Music毕业（graduate）。
小题1: A。作曲write musical compositions。
小题1: D。自己作曲的原因是很少有人（few）专门为打击乐器独奏演员作曲。
小题1: B。尽管医生认为Glennie完全聋了，但并不意味着她的热情被忽视了。Although引导让步状语从句。从语意判断，B项最佳。
小题1: A。mean意味着。conclude作结论。
小题1: D。Glennie根据自己的切身体会告诫人们：不要被别人这样那样的说法所禁锢（limit）。
