【解析】

本文是记叙文，叙述了作者是一名纽约的年轻记者时，因为敲错门结果结识了自己的老师Heinrich Joachim，在老师帮助下作者学习拉大提琴，后来老师去世后，把自己的“大提琴椅”作为一份礼物的送给了作者。

【1】考查副词。句意:但是，上世纪70年代末，作为纽约的一名年轻记者，我从未想过自己能拉大提琴。空格前的一句叙述的是：我一直很喜欢大提琴那浑厚的声音。前后是转折关系，空格后有逗号，所以用however但是。故填However。

【2】考查副词。句意: 有一天，我在办公楼里敲错了门。所给的词mistake名词，错误；动词，弄错。这里不能用动词，因为空格后用的是动词形式。空格后是动词，所以应该用副词修饰动词，是故填mistakenly。

【3】考查形容词。句意: 一位老人打开门，身后是一把黑色的大提琴和一把木椅，上面有一把里拉琴的图案。空格后是名词，这里用形容词修饰名词，表明是木制的椅子。故填wooden。

【4】考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:一时，我忘了我在找什么。这里空格前后都是句子，所以空格处缺少连接词，空格后的句子缺少动词forget的宾语，所以应该用what作宾语。故填what。

【5】考查介词。句意:是的，我几乎不假思索地回答。空格后是动名词的形式，所以用介词。根据上文For a moment, I forgot___4___I was looking for.可知，作者看到大提琴的时候，就忘了在找什么，所以当对方问，你想拉大提琴吗？你想成为我的学生们吗？所以作者就不假思索地回答了。without没有。故填without。

【6】考查过去完成时。句意: 几天后，当我上第一节课时，我告诉老师Heinrich Joachim我是一时冲动答应了。这里told发生在过去，答应老师做他的学生发生在told之前，也就是说发生在过去的过去。所以应该用过去完成时。故填had answered。

【7】考查名词。句意: Heinrich Joachim 向我保证，通过练习和对乐器的热爱，我可以成为一名音乐家。and连接的单词前后是并列关系，and前是名词，所以空格处也用名词，devote是动词，其名词是devotion，故填devotion。

【8】考查代词。句意: Heinrich Joachim 向我保证，通过练习和对乐器的热爱，我可以成为一名音乐家。根据上文I'm not sure whether I can be a musician可知，空格处代替前文的出现的名词a musician，故填one。

【9】考查固定搭配。句意: 我和他一起学习了七年，直到我结婚。短语get married结婚，强调的是动作。故填married。

【10】考查名词。句意: Joachim先生于2002年去世。不久之后，我收到了他儿子安德鲁送给我的一份特别的礼物—先生的“大提琴椅”。空前是冠词+形容词，所以空格处必须用名词的单数形式，根据Mr. J's “cello chair".可知，这是老师送给的礼物。故填gift。
