五、语法填空。阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
My husband knew that I had taken piano lessons as a kid, but stopped doing so in the seventh grade. I was at the age when I preferred ______ (go) to the mall with friends rather than play the piano on weekends. However, a few years ago, my husband ______ (offer) me a digital (数字的) piano for my 41st birthday. I really wanted to own a digital piano, but I was also ______ (doubt) — I wasn't sure whether I was going to play it that often.

To be honest, I had only made half-hearted tries over the years to take up different kinds of hobbies to relax. But ______ (anything) really stuck.
Then, two years later, I had a baby. The piano became even more of an afterthought as I took the challenges of parenting. "I had enough ______ my plate," I told myself. There was no point in adding another thing that was probably just going to make me ______ (stress).
But lately, my 2-year-old son had figured out (想出) ______ to turn on the digital piano and loved to play on the keys. Seeing him play so joyfully, I thought maybe I could take piano lessons and help him to prepare for the music world.
I started lessons a couple of weeks later. I found myself ______ (complete) immersed (沉浸) in playing the piano. Going over difficult parts in each piece I was learning was really ______ (satisfy). To my great surprise, at the age of 44, I have an actual hobby, and I really look forward to ______ (perform) a duet (二重奏) with my son one day.

答案： 【解析】：
这是一道英语语法填空题，主要考查了动词的时态、非谓语动词、词性转换以及固定搭配等知识点。解题的关键在于根据上下文语境和语法规则，准确判断每个空应填的单词形式。
1. “prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“宁愿做某事而不愿做某事”，所以此处填“to go”。
2. 根据“a few years ago”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，所以动词“offer”要用过去式“offered”。
3. “was”是系动词，后面接形容词作表语，“doubt”的形容词形式是“doubtful”，意为“怀疑的”。
4. 根据句意“但没有什么真正坚持下来”，且句子为否定句，所以用“anything”的否定形式“nothing”。
5. “have enough on one's plate”是固定短语，意为“有足够的事情要做”，所以此处填“on”。
6. “make sb. + adj.”表示“使某人……”，“stress”的形容词形式有“stressful”（令人紧张的）和“stressed”（感到紧张的），此处表示“使我感到紧张”，所以用“stressed”。
7. “figure out how to do sth.”意为“想出如何做某事”，所以此处填“how”。
8. “immersed”是形容词，前面需要用副词修饰，“complete”的副词形式是“completely”，意为“完全地”。
9. “was”是系动词，后面接形容词作表语，此处表示“令人满意的”，所以用“satisfy”的形容词形式“satisfying”。
10. “look forward to doing sth.”是固定搭配，意为“期待做某事”，所以此处填“performing”。

2. offered；
