参考答案：
1．to have
【详解】句意：我们过去常在周末举行聚会欢迎我们的新朋友。根据固定搭配used to do sth“过去经常做某事”和空后的“a party to welcome our new friend on weekends”可知，应该是过去常在周末举行聚会欢迎我们的新朋友，用have“举行”的不定式形式to have，故填to have。
2．living
【详解】句意：你很快就会习惯住在乡下。根据be/get used to doing习惯做某事，故填living。
3．eat
【详解】句意：我过去从来不吃蛋糕，但是现在吃很多。used to do sth：过去常常做某事，故填eat。
4．go
【详解】句意：我过去在周六常去游泳。used to do表示“过去常常做某事”。故填go。
5．walking
【详解】句意：当我比较年轻时，我习惯走长距离。be/get used to doing表示“习惯做某事”，故填walking。
6． all the time
【详解】句短语all the time：一直，总是。故填all the time。
7． What do
【详解】句意：我过去常常在早上散步。划线部分“take a walk”是动作，就动作提问用“what…do”。故填 What；do。
8． didn’t use
【详解】句意：比尔过去很内向。短语used to do sth.：过去常常做某事，它的否定句借助助动词didn’t，后面动词使用原形use to；故填 didn’t ； use。
9． Did use
【详解】句意：我们过去常步行上学。短语used to do sth.：过去做某事，曾经做某事，一般疑问句借助助动词did，后面动词使用原形use to；故填 Did； use 。
10． didn’t she
【详解】句意：我祖母过去过着艰苦的生活。根据“used to”表示过去时态，故用助动词did；“my grandmother”用人称代词she指代。再根据反意疑问句的规则，前面是肯定句，反意疑问句用否定形式。故填didn’t；she。
11．D
【详解】句意：我哥哥以前经常在业余时间玩QQ游戏，但现在他习惯做运动了。
考查used to do和be used to doing的用法。根据“曾经做某事：used to do sth.”可知，第一空play符合句意；再者根据“习惯于做某事：be used to doing sth.”可知，第二空doing符合句意。故选D。
12．A
【详解】句意：——汤姆过去每天锻炼身体。——真的吗？但为什么他现在这么虚弱？
考查固定短语。used to exercise过去经常锻炼；is used to exercising习惯锻炼；used to stay up late过去常熬夜。根据下文表转折的“But”和时间状语“now”提示，此处指的是“过去经常锻炼，但现在为什么看起来这么虚弱”？故选A。
13．C
【详解】句意：在日常生活中，每个人都应该远离谎言。毕竟，诚实是第一位的。
考查动词短语。pay attention to关注；get used to习惯；stay away from远离。根据“After all, being honest comes first”可知，诚实是最重要的，所以要远离谎言，故选C。
