【答案详解】
1.was 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：很难想象它会被清理干净。根据上文中的In 1969，可知此处描述过去的事情，句子用一般过去时；句子主语it是单数第三人称形式，所以谓语动词应用be的过去式was。故答案为was。
2.actually考查副词修饰动词。句意：这条河污染得很厉害，以致于起火燃烧。空后caught是动词，用副词来修饰，所给词actual是形容词，其副词是actually。故答案为actually。
3.the 考查定冠词的用法。句意：多年后的今天，这条河成为环境净化最杰出的例子之一。句中one of the most...是“最……之一”的意思，是形容词的最高级形式，形容词最高级前加the。故答案为the。
4.or 考查并列连词。句意：但这条河在几天甚至几个月里都没有改变。此处a few days和even a few months是两个并列的时间短语，用or连接，表示选择关系，意思是“几天或者甚至几个月”。 故答案为or。
5.to reduce 考查非谓语动词。句意：人们花了多年的时间来减少工业污染和清洁水源。根据句型it takes some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间”，可知该句型中it是形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。故答案为 to reduce。
6.cleaner 考查形容词比较级。句意：最后，辛勤的工作得到了回报，现在河里的水比以前更干净了。根据空格后面的than，可知此处表示比较意义，用形容词比较级。故答案为cleaner。
7.which/that考查定语从句引导词。句意：也许你有一个让你的家人抓狂的习惯。此处a habit是先行词，指物，在后面的句子中作主语，所以这里是用which或that引导的定语从句。故答案为which或that。
8.amazing 考查形容词作定语。句意：虽然有瞬间转变的惊人故事，但对我们大多数人来说，这种改变是渐进的，需要大量的努力和工作，就像清理被污染的河流一样。该空后面是名词复数stories，由形容词修饰，所给词amaze是动词，其形容词amazing“令人惊讶的”符合语境。 故答案为amazing。
9.changes 考查名词复数。句意：虽然有瞬间转变的惊人故事，但对我们大多数人来说，这种改变是渐进的，需要大量的努力和工作，就像清理被污染的河流一样。变化是缓慢的，需要付出努力和工作，由后面的谓语动词are可判断此处change是名词，且用其复数形式作主语。故答案为changes。
10.patient 考查形容词作表语。句意：要有耐心。该句是祈使句，be动词后面用形容词作表语，所给词patience是名词，其形容词是patient。故答案为patient。

形容词转变成副词的几种形式：
（1）一般是在形容词后面直接加ly，变成副词。例如：quiet——quietly（安静地）；financial——financially（财政上，金融上）

（2）比较级的标志性词是“than”，意为“比”。
（3）the+比较级，the+比较级，表示“越......，就越......”。例如：The harder you work,the greater progress you will make.（越努力，就越会取得更大的进步。）
（4）the+比较级，表示两个人或事物当中“更.......的，较......的”。例如：There are two boys under the tree.The_____（tall）one is my brother.（树底下有两个男孩。更高的那一个是我弟弟。）答案：taller
（5）much/even/any/far/still/slightly/a little/a lot/a great deal等放在比较级前面，修饰比较级，加强语气。例如：He feels even______（happy）.（他感到更高兴了。）答案：happier

While regularly eating out seems to ___6___ (become) common for many young people in recent years, it's not without a cost.

【答案详解】
1．dishes 考查名词复数。句意：做中国菜被认为是特别麻烦的。句中dish是可数名词，意为“中国菜”，“中国菜”不止一种，所以应用其复数形式，dish的复数是dishes。故答案为dishes。
2．who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。句意：许多来到中国的西方人，一旦意识到在外面吃饭有多便宜，就会比在自己的国家做饭少得多。分析句子结构可知，该空所填词引导定语从句，空前的westerners是先行词，指人，从句缺少引导词和主语，所以定语从句由关系代词who或that引导。故答案为who/that。
3．it 考查it的用法。句意：许多来到中国的西方人，一旦意识到在外面吃饭有多便宜，就会比在自己的国家做饭少得多。分析句子结构，how引导的宾语从句中，应该用it作形式主语，动词不定式to eat out作真正的主语。故答案为it。
4．visiting 考查非谓语动词。句意：我还记得拜访一位在这里住了五年的朋友，当我得知她这么长时间里一次都没做过饭时，我很震惊。remember doing sth.“记得曾经做过某事”；remember to do sth.“记得要去做某事”。此处“拜访朋友”是已经发生的事情，所以remember后面应用动名词作宾语。故答案为visiting。
5．was shocked 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：我还记得拜访一位在这里住了五年的朋友，当我得知她这么长时间里一次都没做过饭时，我很震惊。句子主语I和动词shock之间是被动关系，再根据when I learnt中的时态，可知该空用一般过去时的被动语态；句子主语是I，单数形式，被动语态中的be动词应该用was。故答案为was shocked。
6．have become 考查不定式的完成式。句意：虽然近年来，经常在外面吃饭对很多年轻人来说已经很普遍了，但这也不是没有成本的。动词seem后用不定式作宾语，再根据时间状语in recent years，可知此处应用不定式的完成式，即seem to have done “似乎已经做过”。故答案为have become。
7．affordable 考查形容词。句意：最明显的是钱;一周出去吃一两次或许是可以承受的，但每天都出去吃会增加成本。be动词后应用形容词作表语，所给词afford是动词，其形容词是affordable “付得起的”。故答案为affordable。
8．higher 考查形容词的比较级。句意：你的健康可能会付出更高的代价。even修饰比较级，加强语气。故答案为higher。
9．weight 考查名词。句意：研究人员发现，外出就餐的增加与体重问题的增加有直接联系。此处用名词作定语修饰名词，表示所修饰名词的性质、特点，此处指“体重问题”。所给词weigh是动词，其名词是weight。故答案为weight。
10．for 考查介词。句意：如果你不想遭受这个问题，那么我建议你下次去你妈妈家吃饭时，向她学习一些烹饪技巧。介词for的意思是“为了”，表示目的，go to your mum's home for dinner “去妈妈家吃饭”。故答案为for。

Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small ___1___(carrot) and was about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a __2___(shine) object. Yes, there beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.
Pahlsson screamed ___3__loudly that her daughter came running from the house. “She thought I had hurt ___4__ (I),” says Pahlsson.
Sixteen years ___5___(early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring___6___ (cook) a meal. When she wanted to put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters—then ten, eight, and six—had picked it up, but the girls said they hadn't. Pahlsson and her husband ___7___ (search) the kitchen, checking every corner, but turned up nothing. “I gave up hope of finding my ring again,” she says. She never replaced it.
Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got___8___(sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was spread over the garden, ____9___ it remained until the carrot's leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For Pahlsson, its return was ___10___ wonder.
【答案详解】
1.carrots 考查名词。句意：去年10月，在瑞典莫拉打理花园时，莉娜·帕尔松(Lena Pahlsson)拔出一把小胡萝卜，正准备扔掉。句中carrot 是可数名词，a handful of 意为“一把”，修饰可数名词复数，所以 此处carrot 应该用复数形式 carrots。故答案为carrots。
2.shiny/shining 考查形容词。句意：但有东西让她凑近看，她注意到一个闪闪发光的东西。形容词修饰名词，作定语；句中object 是名词，由形容词修饰，所给词shine 的形容词形式是shiny/shining。故答案为shiny/shining。
3.so 考查固定搭配。句意：Pahlsson大声尖叫，她的女儿从房子里跑了出来。固定搭配：so…that…意为“如此…以致于…”，在句中引导结果状语从句，其中so修饰形容词或副词，句中loudly是副词，由so修饰。故答案为so。
4.myself 考查反身代词。句意：她以为我受伤了。根据句意，“她以为我伤着了我自己”，hurt oneself 意为“伤着某人自己”，I的反身代词是myself，在句中作宾语。故答案为myself。
5.earlier 考查副词。句意：16年前，Pahlsson为了做饭取下了钻戒。sixteen years earlier 意为“十六年前”，作时间状语，这里的 earlier 是副词early的比较级，意为“早期，更早”，与过去完成时连用；sixteen years ago意为“十六年前”，与一般过去时态连用；根据谓语动词had removed可知，earlier 符合语境。故答案为earlier。
6.to cook 考查非谓语动词。句意：16年前，Pahlsson为了做饭取下了钻戒。根据had removed，可知句中已经有了谓语动词 remove，所给词cook 只能作非谓语动词；“为了做饭摘下戒指”，所以此处是动词不定式to do 作目的状语。故答案为to cook。
7.searched 考查动词时态。句意：Pahlsson和她的丈夫搜索了厨房，检查了每个角落，但什么也没找到。本文在讲述过去发生的事情，再根据but turned up nothing，可知but连接并列的谓语动词，句子用一般过去时，所给词search用其过去式 searched。故答案为searched。
8.swept 考查过去分词。句意：Pahlsson和她的丈夫现在认为，戒指可能被扫进了一堆厨房垃圾中，撒在了花园中，直到胡萝卜的顶部叶子意外地从里面冒出来。句中got是连系动词，与过去分词构成系表结构，该空用 sweep 的过去分词 swept ，表示“被扫走”。故答案为swept。
9.where 考查定语从句。句意：Pahlsson和她的丈夫现在认为，戒指可能被扫进了一堆厨房垃圾中，撒在了花园中，直到胡萝卜的顶部叶子意外地从里面冒出来。两个句子之间缺少连接词，此处garden是先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，定语从句由关系副词where引导。故答案为where。
10.a 考查冠词。句意：对帕尔松来说，它的回归是一个奇迹。句中wonder 是可数名词，意为“奇迹”，这里表示泛指，且wonder是以辅音音素开头的词，所以用不定冠词 a 表示“一个奇迹”。故答案为a。

The tactile paintings work as a way to reveal art to __4__blind because we don’t see with just our eyes: We see with our brains.

the 考查定冠词。句意：触觉画是向盲人展示艺术的一种方式，因为我们不仅仅用眼睛看:我们用大脑看。固定搭配：the+形容词，表示“一类人”，the blind指“盲人”。故答案为the。
existing 考查形容词。句意：盲人用他们现有的感官感知形状，这一过程与正常人大致相似。空后的senses是名词，由形容词修饰，所给词exist是动词，其形容词是existing，意为“现存的，现有的”。故答案为existing。
sighted 考查形容词。句意：盲人用他们现有的感官感知形状，这一过程与正常人大致相似。空后people是名词，由形容词修饰，所给词sight既可作名词，也可作动词，其形容词是sighted，意为“有视力的，不盲的”。故答案为sighted。
