【C6】

选项 A、forms
B、follows
C、approaches
D、introduces

答案B

解析 本填空是典型的考查动词的题。从语法的角度来看,本填空出现在一个定语从句中,而且待选动词的主语在前一句中,即“classical music”;宾语为“formal European traditions”;确定了主语和宾语,下面就是确定它们之间的关系以及用哪个动词能够最恰当地连接。对于音乐而言,traditions意为“传统”,音乐形式是应该跟随一种传统的,所以本填空最佳的选项应该为B)follows(跟随,遵从);而A)forms表示“形成”,具体的音乐形式是遵从一种传统,而不是具体的音乐形式形成传统,所以错误;选项C)approaches、D)introduces与本题意无关。
