【解析】 本文是语法填空题。主要考查学生对一些固定短语的掌握。因此在填空时要注意所用词的固定搭配，同时还要注意具体的语境中所用的时态及语态。

【1】of/about

考查固定搭配。句意：大多数年轻人曾经想成为著名的歌手或音乐家。他们梦想着在观众面前表演。dream of/about为固定搭配，“梦想做某事”，填of/about

【2】becoming

考查固定搭配。attach great importance to，为固定搭配，意为“高度重视….” ，to为介词，后面跟动名词，故填becoming。

【3】as

考查介词。句意：许多音乐家相遇并组成乐队。他们可能是作为一批高中生开始的。作为…,作介词as

【4】passers-by

考查名词得数。句意：起初，他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路人演奏。许多“过路人”，故要用复数passers-by。

【5】performances

考查名词 句意：之后，他们可以在酒吧或俱乐部表演。表演perform为动词，要作动词give的宾语，故要用名词形式performances。

【6】called

考查非谓语作后置定语。句意：然而，有一个乐队叫Monkeys的乐队却以不同的方式开始的。Call +宾+宾补，分析句子可知，call the band Monkeys所以the band与call是被动关系，被称为。故用过去分词called。

【7】But

考查连词。电视节目组织者计划找到四位摇滚乐手，但他们只能找到一个。根据句意可知计划找4个却找到1个，故前后是转折关系，故填But。

【8】on

考查固定搭配。句意; 他们不得不依靠其他音乐家来帮助他们。rely on 为固定搭配，意为“依赖，依靠”，故填on。

【9】to sing

考查固定搭配。pretends to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“假装做某事”。故本句可填to sing。

【10】their

考查人称代词。Monkees乐队开始演奏和演唱他们自己的歌，像一个真正的乐队。根据句意可知，they在此译为“他们的”，故用their。
