【解析】这是一则故事。Mr Adamson非常喜欢拉小提琴，他本人对此非常着迷，但是他水平不佳，别人认为他在制造噪音，甚至他在墓地弹奏时，连死人都不接受他的演奏。

1.考查名词。voice声音，多指人的声音；music音乐；noise噪音；sound声音。此处指他弹奏小提琴，所以是音乐，故选B。

2.考查形容词。terrible可怕的；useless无用的；wonderful美好的；long长的。根据下文可知，他演奏的非常糟糕，所以对邻居们来说他演奏小提琴是可怕的，故选A。

3.考查动词。演奏乐器用play，故选D。

4.考查名词。根据下文出现的some stones were thrown out of the windows可知，他坐在窗户旁边，故选C。

5.考查名词。sound声音；something某事；noises噪音；voice声音，人的声音。他好像不是在演奏音乐而是在制造噪音，故选C。

6.考查形容词。excited兴奋的；angry生气的；lovely可爱的；pleased高兴的。他演奏的太兴奋了以至于都忘了自己正在做什么，故选A。

7.考查副词。just then正在那时。正在那时，一些石头从窗户里扔出来。故选D。

8.考查定语从句引导词。这是一个定语从句，先行词是windows，指物，介词后应该用which，故选A。

9.考查连词。此处与上文是转折关系，虽然扔了一些石头，但是他太投入没有注意到，故选B。

10.考查动词。stop停止；begin开始；play玩，演奏；continue继续。他没有注意到别人扔石头，所以音乐继续，故选D。

11.考查副词。together一起；slowly慢慢地；too也，还；again再次。过了一会儿，一个空瓶子和一只破鞋子也从窗户里扔出来，故选C。

12.考查形容词。happy幸福的；sad难过的；glad高兴的；pleased高兴的。因为别人都不喜欢他的演奏，所以他非常难过。故选B。

13.考查连词。unless除非；as if好像；as因为；before在……之前。因为活着的人没有人能理解我的音乐，所以我应该到一个有人欣赏我作品的地方去演奏。故选C。

14.考查动词。decide决定；say说；think考虑，想；know知道。他决定去墓地演奏，故选A。

15.考查名词。voice人的声音；building建筑物；thing物体，东西；sound声音。这里出了教堂的钟声外没有其他的声音，故选D。

前后呼应法

做完形填空时，要始终抓住文章本身，联系“双语境”来判断，既大语境——全文中心和基调，小语境——空格前后句子所构成的语境；再根据前有伏笔后有呼应的思路来做题。比如这篇文章，从一开始就可以看出来，Mr Adamson演奏小提琴非常的糟糕，大家都不喜欢，因此才有了下面大家从窗户里丢石头甚至连死人都要踢他的故事。第2,12,19题等都可以通过前后呼应法来做。
