网友回答
(答案→)listening
解析：
【小题1】乡村音乐是用来唱和听得，所以本空所在的句子含义为许多人喜欢唱和听乡村音乐，唱歌使用动名词singing，故本空填听的动名词listening。
【小题2】根据上句可知西方国家的乡村音乐来自于许多不同的国家，所以乡村音乐应该是这些国家音乐的结合体，故本题的填mixture，表示此意。
【小题3】前句提到美国牛仔要照看他们的奶牛，所以本句的含义是他们要整天整夜的来照看他们，故本空所填的单词是他们的宾格them。
【小题4】奶牛紧张，所以它们到处乱跑就成为一种可能，所以本句的含义为有时奶牛会跑掉，故本空填有时的单词sometimes。
【小题5】后半句提到没人和他在一起，所以本句的含义应该为他单独的和牛群们在沙漠里，故本空填单独的单词alone。
【小题6】根据后句提到牛仔们到了城镇也会唱乐曲放松，所以本句的含义为牛仔们对着奶牛唱着乐曲使它们安静下来，所以本空填唱的单词，由于本文介绍的是过去的时间，所以本题的空格处填唱的过去式sang。
【小题7】牛仔们到了城镇唱着乐曲是为了放松，当然也会玩得开心了，enjoy oneself表示过的愉快和玩得开心的意思，所以本空填喜欢的过去式enjoyed。
【小题8】西方国家的音乐描绘的是生活的景象，后句用了talk about的结构，所以本句也应该用此结构，表示谈论的意思，谈论爱，工作，家庭和金钱等等，所以本空填关于的单词about。
【小题9】由于西方国家的乡村音乐是流行的，所以在世界的许多地方人们都喜欢西方的乡村音乐，故本空填parts。
【小题10】最后一句表示的含义是每个人对西方音乐都有所了解，know about可以表示了解的含义，故本题填knows。
