【解析】
本文属于记叙文。比利时钢琴家让一弗朗索瓦·马尔(Jean- Francois Maljean)由于武汉疫情,不得不推迟他去武汉的行程。感动于中国和中国武汉的全力抗疫。他写了一首歌曲叫《黎明的钟声》。以表达他对抗击新型冠状病毒疫情的武汉人民的关心。
【1】考查不定式。分析句子结构可知,本句中有“force sb. to do sth.”结构,表示“迫使某人不得不作……”。本题的to postpone离关键词forced较远,who引导定语从句,修饰宾语Belgian pianist Jean-Francois Maljean,故填to postpone。
【2】考查副词。句意:在和他的中国商业伙伴何柳讨论之后,这位音乐家决定立即写一首歌。本空后面有after引起的从句,本空应用副词修饰从句。故填immediately。
【3】考查名词。本句前面有“show my...”,说明本空应考虑名词作show的宾语。consideration在此意为“关心”符合,故填consideration。
【4】考查介词。in the face of属于固定的介词短语。意为“面对”。故填of。
【5】考查代词。句意:特别是医生和护士,他们保护别人,却很少考虑自己。本空位于介词about之后,再结合句意可知,这里应填反身代词。故填themselves。
【6】考查时态。本句在谈他用了大约三天时间写完了这首歌,指的是过去发生的事情,故用一般过去时。故填took。
【7】考查定语从句。本空前面是一个完整的句子,应考虑非限制性定语从句;本空又处在后面句子的主语位置上,故填which,指代前面的歌曲Chime of The Dawn Bells。故填which。
【8】考查形容词。本空后面是名词singer,因此本空填形容词,修饰该名词。故填excellent。
【9】考查定冠词。通过上下文分析,这里的music指的是前面提到的Chime of The Dawn Bells。因此本空填the,表特指。用his也可以接受。故填the/his。
【10】考查过去分词。句意:武汉人民作出的巨大牺牲总是让我深受感动。本句前面的“I’m always deeply moved by”内容是句子的主要部分,因此,本空应考虑填非谓语动词。再结合本空后面的by...”,用过去分词作定语,修饰sacrifice,故填made。
