Answer 1

分析 本文講述了Jimmy Durante本打算在一次演出上表演一首短歌曲就離開，但是受到兩個殘疾人的感動從而繼續留下來表演．

解答 51．but 考查連接詞．根據句意可知，此處表示轉折，意為雖然很忙，但是如果可以演唱自己一首短的作品，還是愿意來的．
52．performance  考查名詞  在此處表示這場表演之后，他還要趕往別處進行下一場其他表演
53．happily  考查副詞．用來修飾動詞agree需用副詞形式．
54．when 考查連詞．根據句意，這里是when引導的時間狀語從句，當Jimmy 到了舞臺，發生了一些另人吃驚的事情．
55．the  考查冠詞．上文提到了一次short song，此處用the表示特指．
56．staying  考查動名詞．keep doing為固定短語，意為繼續保持做某事．
57．for  考查介詞．此處用介詞for+一段時間，表示時間持續．
58．yourself  考查代詞．for yourself意為親自．
59．to  calp  考查固定短語  be able to do sth 能夠做某事
60．were doing 考查時態．根據句意可知，此處指兩個殘疾人正在拍手鼓掌．

點評 解答該類語法填空時，應注意聯系上下文的關系，注意其中連詞、代詞和冠詞的使用．切記 參考詞匯不能使用原型．
