【解答】（1）to grow.考查动词。根据句意，从那时起，他开始对钢琴产生兴趣。start to do sth.开始做某事，固定搭配。故答案为：to grow。
（2）didn′t receive.考查动词。根据句意，他以前没有接受过任何音乐训练。由"before"可知是发生在过去的事情，要用一般过去时，提示词给的否定结构，所以用didn′t receive。故答案为：didn′t receive。
（3）playing.考查动词。根据句意，我的同事通常会在午休时间打牌，但我喜欢利用这段时间练习弹钢琴。practice doing sth.练习做某事，固定搭配。故答案为：playing。
（4）did.考查动词。根据句意，许多年前，他做过许多不同的工作。由"many years ago"可知要用一般过去时，用did。故答案为：did。
（5）was.考查动词。根据句意，当钢琴画家是不容易的。主语为动名词Working，所以谓语动词用单数，这里叙述的是过去的事情，要用一般过去时was。故答案为：was。
（6）gets.考查动词。根据句意，只要他有机会弹钢琴。故答案为：gets。
（7）come.考查动词。根据句意，他们相信董宇的梦想能够实现，因为兴趣是最好的老师。情态动词can后常跟动词原形。故答案为：come。

23．（10分）What will the home of the future look like？A team of architects（建筑师）in Hong Kong say that city homes will be tiny，as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive.
They have designed"spaceflats"that are just 30 square meters in size.These flats have three small rooms：a living room，a bathroom and a bedroom，as well as a balcony，but everything is carefully planned to make good use of the limited space.
The living room is the main room of the flat.It can be used as an office，a kitchen or even a second bedroom.There is a sofa that can be changed into a bed.The dining table can be changed into a computer desk.And，if not needed，both the sofa﹣bed and the table can be folded away and stored into a small space in the wall.There is a flat﹣screen TV，which can also serve as a computer monitor.In one comer of the room，a small cooker，a microwave oven（微波炉）and a miniature（微型）refrigerator are hidden out of sight.
The other rooms are small but practical.The bathroom contains a toilet and a shower.The double bed in the bedroom can also be a sofa，if necessary.The balcony has enough room for two people to sit and enjoy the view from the block of flats.All he rooms have high ceiling o provide as much storage space as possible，while the flat has large windows to let in plenty of sunlight.
