【分析】
本题为短文填空题,需结合上下文语境、语法规则、固定搭配等逐一确定答案。解题思路:先通读全文理解文章大意,再针对每个空,分析其考查的知识点(如连词、时态、最高级、固定短语等),结合语境和语法要求匹配正确形式。
【解析】
1. 考查连词:句意为“但直到我遇到音乐老师,我才知道这个想法太简单”,until/till/before均可引导时间状语从句,符合语境。
2. 考查动词时态:由前文arrived(过去式)可知,此处用一般过去时,know的过去式为knew。
3. 考查形容词最高级:根据of all the students(在所有学生中),需用little的最高级least,表“最少的经验”。
4. 考查固定搭配:have a go是固定短语,意为“尝试”,故填a。
5. 考查固定搭配:plenty of是固定短语,意为“大量的”,修饰不可数名词time。
6. 考查固定搭配:spend time (in) doing sth.是固定用法,teach的动名词形式为teaching。
7. 考查副词比较级:much修饰比较级,well的比较级为better,表“记得更好”。
8. 考查固定搭配:help (to) do sth.是固定用法,to可省略,故填develop。
9. 考查形容词:修饰名词things,用relax的形容词relaxing(令人放松的)。
10. 考查反身代词:be proud of oneself是固定短语,主语为I,反身代词为myself。
【答案】
1. until/till/before 2. knew 3. least 4. a 5. of 6. teaching 7. better 8. develop 9. relaxing 10. myself
