【解析】

试题分析：本篇是Lily和Timmy之间的一组对话，在对话中他们提到了如何去度过比以往多出的课余时间。Timmy说他对小提琴感兴趣，打算继续去练习小提琴。而对Lily来说，她则更喜欢弹钢琴，并且提出希望他们以后多交流学习经验。

1. before 。 前句说的是现在的情况，所以从语境判断是比以前有更多的时间，before可以单独使用，意思是“以前，以往”，而ago必须和时间段连用，故答案填before。

2.interest。 冠词后跟名词， 固定短语：have an interest in “对……有兴趣”，填interest。

3.will continue。根据语境可知说话人想继续练习小提琴，说的是将来的打算，应该用一般将来时，故填will continue。

4.others。根据句意可知说话人应该是打算向别人学习，填others。

5.or 。根据回答可以判断此处是选择关系，问对方是喜欢古典音乐还是流行音乐，故填or。

6. Playing 。从句子结构判断此处缺少主语，应该用动名词形式，因为在句首，所以大写第一个字母，填Playing。

7. to。固定短语：be similar to“与……相似”，填介词to。

8.So 。由结构判断此处是部分倒装，再根据语境可知说话人表示她也希望能够互相交流经验，句型：So +动词+主语，表示“某人也如此”，故答案填So。

9. uncle’s 。从句意可知说话人想让对方和她一起去她叔叔家，表示店铺或者某人家可以用所有格形式，省略后面的名词，比如：at the tailor’s (shop)，故此处填uncle’s。

10.ask。固定短语：ask sb for advice“征求意见”，will后面跟动词原形，故填ask。

考点：考查学生对语法知识及语境的理解。
