【解析】

本文是邁克和另一個的對話。邁克喜歡音樂，想成為一名音樂家，但是他的父母不同意。他們談論了郎朗如何練習彈鋼琴的。最后他們約好一起去聽郎朗的音樂光盤。

【1】根據“I argued with my parents. There are too many rules in my family.”我和父母吵架了，因此無法忍受那些規(guī)則，位于情態(tài)動詞can’t后，因此用動詞原形，故填stand。

【2】根據“and I dreamed of being a musician.”可知，他想要自己制定計劃，make plans“制定計劃”，故填plans。

【3】根據“They don’t allow me to practice my favorite music.”可知，他們不允許我練習自己喜歡的音樂，因此表示他們不同意我的觀點，故填disagree。

【4】連詞but前后表示轉折關系，but前表示我向他們保證了，but后表示這沒有用，位于助動詞didn’t后，用動詞原形，故填work。

【5】根據“what kind of music do you like?”可知，此處回答喜歡的音樂，prefer …to…“更喜歡……，而不喜歡……”，故填prefer。

【6】根據because his music is moving and energetic.可知，他的音樂是感人的，充滿活力的，此處句意表示我從他的音樂中能得到很多靈感。有形容詞much修飾，用不可數(shù)名詞，故填inspiration/energy/strength。

【7】be talented in doing sth在……有天賦，故填.talented。

【8】根據But he didn’t give up.可知，他沒有放棄，而是努力學習鋼琴，故填Instead。

【9】連詞but前后表示轉折關系，but前表示他是不同尋常的，but后表示很遺憾我對他一無所知。有不定冠詞a修飾，用單數(shù)名詞，故填pity。

【10】spare time to do sth“抽出時間做某事”，前面有助動詞would，此處謂語用動詞原形，故填spare。
