1.It is one thing to enjoy listening to good music, but it is ________ another to play it well yourself.

A. quite B. very

C. rather D. much

[解析]句意：喜欢听好的音乐是一回事，但要自己演奏好它又是另外一回事。quite 完全，强调在某方面十分突出，作此用法时，quite 常与名词连用。another 其实就是 another thing 的省略。very 非常，修饰形容词或副词;rather 修饰形容词、副词或带不定冠词的名词;much 修饰不可数名词，在此不符合题意。

[答案]A
