问题     Some years ago, on the windswept Atlantic coast of Ireland, a
couple of elder farmers came up to my family’s cottage. There was 【M1】______
tea and whiskey and turf was blazing in the grate. Late in evening, 【M2】______
one of them suddenly started to sing. Just his voice in the silence,
high and reedy.
    At moments like that, song becomes the soundtrack of our
lives. Man all starts with our first music — our mother’s voice. 【M3】______
Around the world, every Saturday in the stands and every Sunday in
the pews, people join together in song. Birthdays, marriages and
deaths are solemnized until people open their mouths and sing. 【M4】______
    When music involves a voice, if you love Callas or Adele or 【M5】______
Queen, all instruments are always the second fiddle. The voice is a 【M6】______
fingerprint, a personal stamp capable of endless variety. Borrowing
the plosives and fricatives of speaking language, it imparts a feeling, 【M7】______
a mood or a story. Nearly all music bears the mark of the voice.
When you hear the sinuous melody of a Chopin prelude, you are
hearing the piano agitate the voice. 【M8】______
    Singing is good for us. Exertion and concentration fortifies the
mind and invigorates the body. If only you cannot muster the 【M9】______
confidence to join the local choral society, wait until the coast is
clear, shut yourself safely behind the bathroom door and get under
the shower. Then open your mouth, fill up your lung, and launch into【M10】______
a stonking good tune. The music is there inside you. You just need to
find your voice.
【M1】
选项
答案elder—old
解析 近义词错误。elder是old的比较级形式之一，但已失去比较意义，成为定语形容词，表示兄弟姐妹中或两个指明的人中较年长者。
