Answer 1

【答案】①the→ an；②playing→ played；③that→ what；④but→ and；⑤kinds后加of；⑥it→ which；⑦common前加the；⑧whom→ who；⑨去掉out；⑩are→is
【解析】
①泛指“一門國際語言”，且international首字母發(fā)音是元音，所以the→ an。

②The songs與play之間是被動關系，所以用過去分詞作定語。

③這里含有一個表語從句，引導詞在從句中作賓語，所以that→ what。

④表示并列關系，所以but→ and。

⑤kinds of是固定用法，意思是各種各樣的。

⑥這里含有一個非限制性定語從句，關系詞在從句中作主語，指物，所以it→ which。

⑦這里特指“美國人的平淡生活”，所以common前加the。

⑧這里含有一個定語從句，而且關系詞在從句中作主語，指人，whom→ who。

⑨句意：另一種被稱為西方音樂或是鄉(xiāng)村音樂，它開始于在看牛的時候唱歌的牛仔。所以去掉out。

⑩主語是any music，所以謂語動詞用單數。
