The guitar is getting more and more popular now. 31 the guitar has even become a common hobby—you’ll often see people playing it in parks, school yards, or street performances. They get much 32 from it. But how much do you know about 33 origin (起源)?
The guitar is believed to be created 34 16th-century Spanish craftsmen, who made 35 instruments for local shows. The early guitar was smaller and simpler than today’s version (版本). It’s 36 that it spread across Europe in the 19th century, used in classical concerts and folk music. When the guitar was 37 to our country in the early 1900s, only wealthy music lovers could afford (买得起) it. Now, mass (大量的) production has made its price much 38 than before. More and more common 39 —students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one.
Today the guitar comes in types like acoustic (原声的) (for soft tunes) and electric (for rock). What’s more, our school lists it 40 an after-school activity. Many students learn to play in free time, joining guitar clubs to share skills and perform at school events.

26.句意:不同的人在音乐方面有不同的兴趣。
根据下文“Some people enjoy loud rock, but others … soft classical music.”可知,此处表达人们在音乐上拥有不一样的喜好兴趣,应选用interests。ideas“想法”,hobbies“爱好”,侧重业余消遣,secrets“秘密”,均不如interests贴合语境。

【详解】31.句意:弹吉他甚至已经成为一项普遍爱好,你经常能看见人们在公园、校园或者街头表演弹奏吉他。和“the guitar”搭配的动词是play,分析句子成分,空处和the guitar一起构成句子主语,用动名词形式,并且空处在句首,首字母要大写,故填Playing。
32.句意:他们从中获得许多乐趣。根据上一句“弹吉他已经成为一项普遍爱好”可知人们能从中获得乐趣;分析句子可知,空处作get的宾语,用名词形式,选please并用其名词形式pleasure“快乐、乐趣”。
33.句意:但是你对它的起源了解多少?上文介绍的是吉他成为人们的爱好以及人们从中获得乐趣,此句指的吉他的起源,为了避免重复,用“它的”指代,选it并用其形容词性物主代词形式its。
34.句意:吉他被认为由16世纪西班牙工匠创制。被动语态be created by sb.,介词by用来引出动作的执行者“由……创造”。
35.句意:人们认为吉他是由16世纪的西班牙工匠创制的,这些工匠为当地演出制作乐器。名词instruments前面需要形容词修饰,music的形容词形式为musical,musical instruments是固定短语,意为“乐器”。

38.句意:现在,大规模生产使它的价格比以前更低。空前有much,此处用形容词的比较级形式;根据空后“students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one”学生和工人能拥有一个吉他,可知价钱比以前更低了,选low,用其比较级形式lower。
39.句意:越来越多普通消费者——攒零花钱的学生、青年上班族——都能拥有一把吉他。根据空后“students saving pocket money, young workers—can own one”可推知学生和工人都是顾客,选customer“顾客”,空前有“more and more”,此处用名词的复数形式customers。
40.句意:此外,我们学校把它列为一项课外活动。固定搭配list…as…意为“把……列为……” 介词as的含义为“作为、当作”。
