【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者从小热爱音乐,并和自己的乐队靠“滑稽爵士乐”出名的经过。
【1题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:起初,我们靠在街上演奏乐器赚钱。短语depend on/upon“取决于;依靠”。故填on/upon。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:不久,我们的“滑稽爵士乐”就出名了,我们被邀请到各地演出。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文our “funny jazz” became famous可知应用一般过去时,故填were invited。
【3题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:大约售出了一百万册,我们变得富有和受欢迎。copy为可数名词,根据上文one million可知应用复数形式,故填copies。
