【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Max Vernon Mathews把音乐与计算机结合起来，创造了魅力无穷的计算机音乐的历程。

1.考查定语从句。句意：1957年，马克斯·马修斯编写了一个计算机程序，使计算机能够产生声音并回放。分析可知，“____1____ enabled a computer____2____ (produce) sound and play it back”应是之前名词“a computer program”的限定性定语从句，先行词在从句作主语，应用关系代词which/that引导。故填which/that。

2.考查动词不定式。句意：1957年，马克斯·马修斯编写了一个计算机程序，使计算机能够产生声音并回放。分析可知，enable sb./sth. to do，固定结构，意为“使某人/某事物能够做某事”。故填to produce。

3.考查时态和被动。句意：他的电脑程序叫音乐。分析可知，所填空应是谓语，结合句中时态为一般过去时，且动词与主语之间为被动关系，注意是单数概念。故填was called。

4.考查时态和被动。句意：克拉克在他的书《2001太空漫游》中提到了这项技术，后来被拍成电影。分析可知，“which____4____ (make) into a movie later.”为之前名词“A Space Odyssey”的定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，所填空应是从句中的谓语，结合时态应是一般过去时，且动词与主语之间为被动关系。故填was made。

5.考查形容词。句意：他对计算机如何帮助录音棚外的音乐家产生了浓厚的兴趣。分析可知，became为系动词，之后接形容词作表语。所给动词interest的形容词形式有interested和interesting，主语为“He”，应选择与人有关的形容词interested。故填interested。

6.考查时态。句意：他希望有一天笔记本电脑会被视为重要的工具。分析可知，所填空应是宾语从句的谓语，与从句主语之间为被动关系。结合主句谓语“hoped”，且从句中含有时间词one day，因此可知应用过去将来时结构：would +be +done。故填would be considered。
