去世后，他最后一次演奏《高山流水》并故意拌了琴■<.

可能是俞伯牙和钟子期之间的(友谊)。分析句子结构可知，应用副词probably修

饰整个句子。故填probably。

2.【解析】who/thato考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是定语从句，先

行词是master,指人，且定语从句缺少主语，故用关系代词who/that。故填

who/thato

词，且文章讲述过去的事情，故用一般过去时。begin的过去式是begano故填

began<)

不能弹了。根据句意可知此处为短语onpurpose“故意地”。故填on。

9.【解析】the*考查冠1词。句中“phrase”特指后面提到的“highmountainsand

flowingwater"，所以用定冠词ihe。故填the0

1().【解析】isusedo考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，主语phrase和use

之间是被动关系，故用被动语态，且由“Now”判断是一般现在时，故用一般现在

时的被动语态，主语为第三人称单数形式，因此用isused。故填isused。
