【6】before

【解析】

本文主要介绍了一位年轻的中提琴手王子安出生时是一个盲人，但是他对音乐有着浓厚的兴趣，经过多年的努力，最终被英国最负盛名的音乐学校之一的伯明翰皇家音乐学院录取。

【1】句意：他一直对音乐有着浓厚的热情。

根据句意理解可知，表示的是对音乐很热情，英语中音乐是music，所以这里填music。

【2】句意：他的钢琴老师握着他的手，一次又一次地把手指按在琴键上。

根据句意理解可知，这里表示按压，英语是press，与句子主语是主动关系，所以应该用ing 形式，所以这里填pressing。

【3】句意：王告诉记者，他讨厌这种悲观的态度。

根据句意理解可知，这里表示讨厌不喜欢，英语中表示为hate，文中用的是过去时，所以这里也需要填过去时，所以填hated。

【4】句意：老师告诉王，视力差的人对弦乐乐器往往更敏感。

根据句意理解可知，这里表示视力差，英语中视力表示为vision，是不可数名词，所以这里直接填vision。

【5】句意：他把每节课都录下来，这样他就能反复听。

根据句意理解可知，这里表示重复地，英语表示为repeated，是一个形容词，而这里是用来修饰动词听的，所以需要一个副词，所以这里填repeatedly。

【6】句意：王在收到英国学院的录取通知书前通过了艰难的考试。

根据句意理解可知，这里应该表达的是录取之前先要考试，在……之前是before，所以这里填before。
