解析：
【分析】
先通读全文，明确文章是“滥竽充数”的经典故事，理解上下文语境与逻辑关系；再结合词汇词义辨析、连词用法、固定搭配等知识，逐一分析每个空的选项，确保选择符合文章情节与语法逻辑。
【解析】
1. 句意：他让很多乐手一起在一个______音乐组演奏。由前文“many players”可知，组是“大的”，故选A。
2. 前半句“南郭在组里”与后半句“他不会吹竽”是转折关系，用but，故选B。
3. 因为组里有很多其他乐手，所以他混着不发声很“容易”，故选B。
4. “know the truth”是固定搭配，意为“知道真相”，此处指没人知道真相，故选C。
5. “years later”是固定表达，意为“几年后”，故选C。
6. 新国王不想让乐手一起演奏，想让他们“一个接一个地”演奏，one by one符合语境，故选B。
7. 南郭不会吹竽，要单独演奏时会“担心”，故选C。
8. 他悄悄从组里“跑掉”，ran away符合语境，故选A。
【答案】
