五、方框选词。（10 分）
please, with care, still, give it a try, at the very day, admire,
at home and abroad, under pressure, perhaps, feel down
My grandfather is a calligraphy lover. Every morning, he practises writing Chinese characters in his study. Last weekend, I watched him create a new piece. The room was completely 1 except for the soft sound of his brush gliding across paper. He held the brush 2 and moved it slowly.
"Can I try?" I asked. He smiled and handed me the brush. My first attempt was terrible— the ink spread everywhere. But Grandfather wasn't angry. "Keep practising," he said instead.
That afternoon, I decided to 3 at writing my name. I practised for hours 4 to create something I would be proud of. I showed it to Grandfather. He looked at it carefully and said, "I am 5 with your progress." His words encouraged me a lot.
Grandfather also told me about famous calligraphers 6 . Their beautiful works are still 7 in museums today, inspiring people from different cultures.
Whenever I am 8 or 9 , I go to Grandfather's study and practise calligraphy. The quiet atmosphere helps me forget my worries. 10 that's why this ancient art has brought peace to so many people over the centuries.

【分析】
做这类方框选词类的完形填空题，可按照三步法思考：第一步先通读所有备选词汇，明确每个单词、短语的词义、词性和常见搭配；第二步通读整篇短文，把握文章“我在爷爷的影响下练习书法，从书法中获得力量”的核心叙事主线；第三步逐空分析空格所在句子的语法成分、语义逻辑，匹配对应词汇，同时注意根据语法规则调整词汇形式，最后将所有答案代入全文通读，验证语义连贯、搭配合理即可。
【解析】
1. 空格所在句意为“房间完全是______的，只有毛笔在纸上划过的轻柔声响”，此处需要形容词作表语，备选词still作形容词表示“寂静的”，完全符合书法室安静的语境，故填still。
2. 空格所在句意为“他______握着毛笔，缓缓移动”，此处需要修饰动作held的状语，短语with care表示“小心翼翼地”，契合书写书法时的状态，故填with care。
3. 空格所在句意为“那天下午，我决定______写自己的名字”，decide to后接动词原形类短语，give it a try表示“试一试”，对应前文我初次尝试写书法搞砸后，决定尝试写名字的情节，故填give it a try。
4. 空格所在句意为“____我练习了好几个小时，想要创作出让自己骄傲的作品”，此处需要时间状语，短语at the very day表示“就在那天”，对应前文提到的“那天下午”的时间背景，故填at the very day。
5. 空格为固定搭配be pleased with，表示“对……感到满意”，是动词please转化为形容词pleased的常用搭配，符合爷爷对我的进步很认可的语境，故填pleased。
6. 空格所在句意为“爷爷还和我讲了______的著名书法家”，此处作后置定语修饰书法家，短语at home and abroad表示“国内外”，指代来自各地的知名书法家，符合语境，故填at home and abroad。
7. 空格所在句为被动语态，意为“他们的优秀作品如今仍然在博物馆被______，激励着不同文化的人们”，be动词后接动词的过去分词，admire的过去分词admired表示“被仰慕、被欣赏”，符合语境，故填admired。
8. 空格所在句描述我的负面状态，和后文的情绪低落并列，短语under pressure表示“处于压力之下”，放在be动词后作表语，符合语境，故填under pressure。
9. 空格和前文“处于压力之下”并列，描述我的低落状态，短语feel down表示“情绪低落”，符合语境，故填feel down。
10. 空格放在句首作状语，表推测，意为“____这就是这门古老艺术数世纪以来给很多人带来平静的原因”，备选词perhaps首字母大写为Perhaps，符合语境，故填Perhaps。
【答案】
1. still
2. with care
3. give it a try
4. at the very day
5. pleased
6. at home and abroad
7. admired
8. under pressure

【点评】
本题属于记叙文类选词填空题，考点覆盖了词汇语义辨析、常用短语搭配、被动语态变形、句首大写规则等，整体贴合日常叙事逻辑，学生需要结合上下文语境推导答案，易错点在于忽略please的形容词变形、admire的被动过去分词变化，解题时要注意语法规则的适配。
