【解析】

本文是迈克和另一个的对话。迈克喜欢音乐，想成为一名音乐家，但是他的父母不同意。他们谈论了郎朗如何练习弹钢琴的。最后他们约好一起去听郎朗的音乐光盘。

【1】根据“I argued with my parents. There are too many rules in my family.”我和父母吵架了，因此无法忍受那些规则，位于情态动词can’t后，因此用动词原形，故填stand。

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

【3】根据“They don’t allow me to practice my favorite music.”可知，他们不允许我练习自己喜欢的音乐，因此表示他们不同意我的观点，故填disagree。

【4】连词but前后表示转折关系，but前表示我向他们保证了，but后表示这没有用，位于助动词didn’t后，用动词原形，故填work。

【5】根据“what kind of music do you like?”可知，此处回答喜欢的音乐，prefer …to…“更喜欢……，而不喜欢……”，故填prefer。

【6】根据because his music is moving and energetic.可知，他的音乐是感人的，充满活力的，此处句意表示我从他的音乐中能得到很多灵感。有形容词much修饰，用不可数名词，故填inspiration/energy/strength。

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

【8】根据But he didn’t give up.可知，他没有放弃，而是努力学习钢琴，故填Instead。

【9】连词but前后表示转折关系，but前表示他是不同寻常的，but后表示很遗憾我对他一无所知。有不定冠词a修饰，用单数名词，故填pity。

【10】spare time to do sth“抽出时间做某事”，前面有助动词would，此处谓语用动词原形，故填spare。
