解析：
【分析】
这篇完形填空改编自经典寓言“对牛弹琴”，解题时首先要通读全文，理清故事主线：古代音乐家公明仪擅长弹七弦琴，深受大家喜爱，某天他尝试对着牛弹琴，无论怎么调整曲目牛都毫无反应，最终他从中得出了为人处世的教训。解题时优先结合前后文给出的明确提示，再通过词义辨析、固定搭配验证选项，最后把所有答案代入全文通读，确认逻辑通顺没有矛盾即可。
【解析】
1. 第1空：后文的宾语是七弦琴（乐器），“play+乐器”是固定搭配，表示弹奏乐器，B唱歌、C敲击、D吹奏均不符合弹古琴的动作，选A。
2. 第2空：后文提到大家有空就去公明仪家听他演奏，说明很多人愿意听他弹琴，A听说、B听起来像、D看均不符合语境，listen to表示“听”，选C。
3. 第3空：文章开篇就点明公明仪的身份是音乐家，所有人都称赞他是很棒的音乐家，A向导、C钢琴家（他演奏的不是钢琴）、D歌手均不符合设定，选B。
4. 第4空：后文直接出现了“play for this cow”的提示，说明他在农场看到的是牛，选A。
5. 第5空：他把自己的七弦琴拿到牛的面前开始演奏，took表示“拿、携带”符合语境，B移动、C推、D拉均不符合动作逻辑，选A。
6. 第6空：前文提到他弹琴的水平很高，所以演奏出的音乐十分优美，B吵闹的、C安静的、D强烈的均不符合对他演奏的正面描述，选A。
7. 第7空：固定搭配show no interest in sth. 表示“对……没有兴趣”，这里指牛完全不在意音乐，A爱好、B热爱、D声音均不符合搭配，选C。
8. 第8空：农场里的牛低着头的常规动作是吃草进食，B喝水、C阅读、D玩耍均不符合场景，选A。
9. 第9空：前文他认为之前弹的曲目对牛来说太难了，所以转而尝试演奏简单的音乐，A难的、B难听的、C好听的均不符合对应前文“太难”的逻辑，选D。
10. 第10空：他调整了演奏之后牛依然不理会他，此时他的心情是不愉快的，A害怕的、C开心的、D满意的均不符合语境，选B。
11. 第11空：他对着自己发问，主语是he，对应的反身代词是himself“他自己”，选C。
12. 第12空：固定搭配go away表示“离开”，他最后拿着琴离开了农场，A向上、B向下、C进去均不符合语境，选D。
13. 第13空：“这个故事很有趣”和“它能教会我们道理”是转折关系，用but连接，A表原因、C表结果、D表选择均不符合逻辑，选B。
14. 第14空：固定搭配learn lessons from the story表示“从故事中得到教训”，B科目、C音乐家、D感受均不符合语义，选A。
15. 第15空：前文已经出现了First（第一点），这里对应第二点，用Second，选B。
