【解析】
1.屬于上文提示法,首句中出現ill,此選項應是ill的同義表達,故選D.sickness。
2.屬于上文提示法,上句出現病情可以manageable,所以作者應該是享受那段過去的美好時光,故選B.enjoyed。此選項在2009年全國一卷完形填空部分第41題出現過,且也為正確選項。
3.屬于下文解釋法,下文出現發(fā)生改變,結合首句作者生病,可推出作者表達的是不幸的情緒,故選C.unfortunately。此選項為高考完形填空中的的高頻選項。
4.屬于轉折對比法,上文出現yearsago和changed,因此推出此題應回歸現實,故選A.now。此選項在2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第37題出現過,且也為正確選項。
5.屬于固定搭配法,addupto總計,makeupfor彌補,補償,getridof處理,擺脫,takeadvantageof利用,此題應選B.makeupfor。此選項考生不應陌生,2009年浙江卷完形填空部分第21題D選項曾出現過此詞,可見背歷年考題中的選項部分的重要性。
6.屬于邏輯關系法,此法多用于句子與句子之間,解決連詞的問題。此題因為作者下午需要睡覺,所以受到限制。故選B.As。
7.屬于上文解釋法,第三段首句提到作者打算做某事,但由于病情,下午需要睡覺,所以選擇受限,故選C.choices。
8.屬于前后照應法,上文提到過幾年之前唱歌的事實,此處再次出現要去唱歌,故選D.goingback。
9.屬于中文代入法,全家都是音樂家,所以走進音像店會被認出,故選A.recognized。
10.屬于AandB法,這是并列結構,要求前后詞性與詞義要相似,幾乎在每年的高考完形中都會考查這個知識點。本題and之前說東西很貴,之后理應推出沒有足夠的錢,故選A.money。
11.屬于反義多一對,即四個選項中有一組反義詞,答案多在這組反義詞中出現。此題C和D構成反義結構,根據文章信息,故選D.often。
12.屬于中文代入法,實際上一張光盤里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用,故選A.actually。
13.屬于上文提示法,上文中作者有提到過想再次唱歌的這個想法,故選C.idea。
14.屬于同義辨析法,此考查點多在四級考試完形填空部分中出現,在2008年高考英語浙江卷第26題也曾考查過,當年的難度系數約為0.32。此題中的B.view強調的是眺望風景,C.look強調看的眼神,D.sight強調視力,本文店主深深地看了作者,屬于眼神之間的交流,故選C.look。
15.屬于固定搭配法,店主帶領作者穿過擁擠的店鋪,從空間穿過,故選D.through。
16.屬于感情色彩法,此法多用于解決形容詞或副詞。下文出現treasure,因此可以推出店主對自己的寶物愛不釋手,心愛地觸摸,故選B.lovingly。
17.屬于固定搭配法,takeyourpick,美國俚語,隨你挑選的意思,故選A.pick。
18.屬于語法識別法,近幾年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化語法點考查,一般只會涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本應該做的事情而沒有做,放在原文中過于牽強,而本題是作者受到店主的感激,非常感動,本可以哭但沒有哭,故選D.couldhavecried。
19.屬于尋找重復法,31題與32題之前曾出現onlythreetofoursongs...canuse,對應...couldsing,故選B.theones。
20.屬于主旨概況法,即所選選項要與原文中心相一致。本文詳細描述店主對作者的幫助,店主的善舉感動作者,故選C.kindness。

The other day, I happened to meet someone I hadn’t seen for many years. I couldn’t believe the change in him. In fact, he didn’t even seem like the 21 person.
When I first knew Bill, back in 22 , he was one of the most carefree(無憂無慮)people I had ever 23 . He was always ready to have a party. He thought 24 of going out for beer at three o’clock in the morning or driving 50 miles to see an old 25 he really liked. Bill and I were in the same class in college, and 26 was never dull when he was 27 . With him there was one wild 28 after another. Sometimes I wonder how we 29 to study for our exams.
Last week I was in Houston on business and I ran into Bill in the bar at the hotel. 30 , I wasn’t even sure it was 31 . Was this short – haired businessman really the same person? I wasn’t really sure until I came near him but it indeed was Bill. Now he works for a bank. He 32 most of the evening about his job, his new car and his house. How he had changed! Back when we were in college, the 33 thing Bill cared about was possessions. Now they seemed to be his main 34 . Although I have changed quite a bit myself, somehow, I never 35 Bill changing so much. My image of him 36 the one I had formed 37 the time when we were college students together.
I suppose it’s 38 to expect people to remain the same, especially 39 I have changed so much myself. But I must say that I enjoyed the old Bill much more than the new Bill. Maybe he 40 the same way about me.
