27、gin for error 可知,只要手指有轻微的位置不正,就会走音,所以slightly“轻微地”正确。8.A 根据下文 I made it at last.可知我对小提琴的热爱最终克服了一切困难,故conquer“征服,克服”符合语境。9.B 根据语意知,现在我回顾过去的 5 年学小提琴的经历,故选 look back on 表示“回顾” 。10.A 根据下文 They are pointing you toward.,可知此处指犯下的错误不是失败,故填 failures 表示“失败” 。11.D 这些错误为你指明你应该把注意力集中在何处。focus 表示“集中” 。12.C 根据下文 I

30、求更高,但你也会在更多方面得到丰厚的回报,故此处应用 richly 修饰 rewarded,表示“丰厚的回报” 。【疑难词汇解读】persevere v.坚持不懈 As a diligent student,Jerry persevered in the study and later was admitted to Peking University.杰瑞是个勤奋的学生,他坚持学习,最终被北京大学录取了。 【长难句分析】Sometimes its more demanding than you expected,but you are richly rewarded in more ways than you could have imagined for the trying.此处是 but 连接的并列句。同时 but 后面的分句中又包含有状语从句 than you could have imagined for the trying。而 could have done 表示对过去状况的猜测 ,意为“过去可能做过” 。有时候它比你预期的要求更高,但你会在更多方面获益,远远超出你的期待。9
