【分析】
先通读短文理解伯牙与钟子期的知音故事，再针对每个问题回到短文中定位关键信息：第1题需匹配问题与原文中伯牙的情绪原因、行为原因及故事主题；第2题需根据原文语句，结合词性要求填写对应词汇。
【解析】
1. ① 根据短文“Zhong understands his music well. Boya is very happy.”可知，伯牙开心是因为钟子期懂他的音乐，故选B；
② 根据短文最后“No one understands my music now. I don’t want to play again.”可知，伯牙不再弹琴是因为没人懂他的音乐，故选A；
③ 短文围绕伯牙与钟子期成为知音（好朋友）展开，主题是友谊，故选A；
2. ① 原文为“Zhong understands his music well”，be good at后接动名词，故填understanding；
② 原文为“in your music”，故填music；
③ 原文为“They become good friends”，故填friends；
④ 原文为“I don’t want to play again”，即从不弹琴，故填never。
【答案】

2. ① understanding ② music ③ friends ④ never
