【答案】horrible
【详解】考查形容词。句意：但就在我以为我能应付所有中国菜的时候，我发现了臭豆腐，一种可怕的灰色东西，看起来和闻起来都像烧焦的运动鞋。空处应用形容词，作定语修饰things。horrible意为“讨厌的，恐怖的”。故填horrible。
2．Take advantage your classes, learn from your teachers and classmates, and make use of our school facilities. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】of
【详解】考查介词。句意：好好利用你的课程，向老师和同学学习，并充分利用我们学校的设施。take advantage of是固定短语，意为“利用”，因此空格处是介词of，故填of。

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：坐在花园的椅子上的那个年轻女孩，穿着白雪公主的裙子。分析句子成分可知，空处应为非谓语动词。且提示词和被修饰词“girl”之间是主动关系，故现在分词作定语。故填sitting。
6． (frank) speaking, I don’t agree with them. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Frankly
【详解】考查副词。句意：坦率地说，我不同意他们的看法。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“frankly speaking”，意为“坦率地说，老实说”，“frankly”为“frank”的副词形式，意为“坦率地”，作状语，句首单词首字母大写。故填Frankly。
7．I (absolute) agreed with you and would spare no effort to help you. (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】religious
【详解】考查形容词。句意：今天的节日有许多起源，一些是宗教的，一些是季节性的，一些是为了纪念祖先，还有一些是为了特殊的人或事件。分析句子结构可知，空处和后文的some seasonal并列，所以空处应填形容词，religion的形容词形式是religious。故填religious。

【解析】11．考查动词短语。句意：缓解压力的方法在于学会放松。此处表示的是缓解压力的方法是“在于”学会放松，应用动词短语lie in“放松”；此处为描述事实，因此使用一般现在时，主语为The way为单数，因此谓语动词需要使用第三人称单数形式。故填lies in。
12．考查动词短语。句意：他们尽最大努力利用学校提供的机会努力学习。根据后面的“学校提供的机会”可知，此处指的是尽最大努力利用机会，应用动词短语take advantage of“利用”，try one’s best to do sth.意为“尽力做某事”，已经有动词不定式符号to。故填take advantage of。
13．考查动词短语。句意：我等不及要告诉他们这个好消息了。这真的很令人兴奋。根据后句的“这真的很令人兴奋”可知，我等不及要告诉他们这个好消息了，应用动词短语can’t wait to do sth.“迫不及待地做某事”。故填can’t wait to。
14．考查动词短语。句意：每个人都说这是一个不可能的计划，但她坚持执行并成功了。根据后句“成功了”可知，应该是“她坚持执行”，应用动词短语stick to“坚持”；本句中描述的是过去的事情，因此使用一般过去时。stick的过去式为stuck。故填stuck to。
15．考查动词短语。句意：我们希望通过分享我们在不同领域的知识来改变孩子们的生活。通过后句“通过分享我们在不同领域的知识”可知，此处应该是“改变孩子们的生活或者说是影响孩子们的生活”；应用动词短语make a difference to“对……有影响”。expect to do sth.意为“期待做某事”。故填make a difference to。
16．考查动词短语。句意：由于原料短缺，最近产品的价格猛涨。根据前句“由于原料短缺”可知，此处应该是价格上涨，应用动词短语shoot up“上升”，此处时间状语为recently，因此用现在完成时，主语为单数，所以助动词用has。故填has shot up。
17．考查动词短语。句意：在如何执行这个计划的问题上，我恐怕不能和你意见一致。根据空格前面的“我恐怕”可知，此处应该指的是“意见不一致”；应用动词短语see eye to eye with“与……意见一致”，此处位于助动词won’t之前，因此用动词原形。故填see eye to eye with。
18．考查动词短语。句意：我原以为天气会好一些，结果却更糟了。前句为“以为天气会好一点”，所以此处应该指的是“结果更糟糕”；应用动词短语turn out“结果是”，前句的动词为过去完成时，为过去的过去，所以此处指的是过去，因此使用一般过去时。故填turned out。
19．考查介词短语。句意：婚姻的破裂通常是由于双方的缺点。前句指的是“婚姻的破裂”，空格后说明的是“双方的缺点”，所以为因果关系，应用介词短语as a result of“由于”。故填as a result of。
20．考查动词短语。句意：彼得失业了，家里正经历一段非常困难的时期。前面为“彼得失业了”，所以此处指的是“经历困难时期”，应用动词短语go through“经历”，此处描述目前正在进行的动作，所有要用现在进行时；强调的时家庭整体，谓语动词用单数，因此be动词用is。故填is going through。

Despite these attempts to silence the movement, it spread to the US, Germany, Japan, and several other countries worldwide.
Buy Nothing Day challenges people to avoid 40 (buy) anything for 24 hours. Supporters hope that during this time, people will reflect on the need to “have things”, which is pushed by large companies.
