But that's not the point. What is 9 in your communication is how your lateness affected Eleanor.'' He pointed out that I focused on the intention 10 Eleanor focused on the result. Thus, both of us felt misunderstood and crazy.

1. 答案：had been invested
解析：考查时态和语态。根据 By the end of last year可知，本句应用过去完成时，且money与invest之间是被动关系，故填 had been invested。
2. 答案：items
解析：句意：志愿者立即排成一条长龙，从倒塌的房子里把贵重物品救出来。根据语境可知，此处是复数概念，故用名词的复数形式。
3. 答案：investment
解析：句意：这个地区在20世纪90年代成了新的投资热点。介词for 后跟名词作宾语。
4. 答案：investment
解析：考查词性转换。句意：投资教育必将给我们带来丰硕成果。由设空处前的冠词an可知，此处应用名词，故填investment。
5. 答案：objectively
解析：考查词性转换。句意：在这种情形下，你必须客观地看待这个案例。设空处应用副词修饰动词短语look at，故填objectively，意为“客观地”。
6. 答案：to invest
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：现在是投资房地产市场的好时机。分析句子结构可知，it为形式主语，设空处为真正的主语。it's a good time to do…意为"……是做的好时机", 故填to invest。
7. 答案：had been distracted
解析：distract为本单元单词，意为“使分心”。由was可知全句用过去时态，先从自怜中走出后再感到快乐，故横线处表过去的过去，用过去完成时。be distracted from指“注意力从……分散出来”，故用被动语态。
8. 答案：distraction
解析：考查名词。设空处和前面的冠词a构成名词短语，故应用名词形式distraction。
9. 答案：objectively
解析：考查副词。设空处修饰look at, 故应用副词形式objectively。
10. 答案：objectively
解析：句意：他已经冷静了一段时间，能更加客观地看待所发生的事情。修饰谓语动词look at, 在句中作状语，用副词形式。
（一）完形填空
答案：1-5BADCD；6-10ADDBA；11-15DBADC
解析：1. agree to do sth. 意为“同意做某事”。在此表示夫妻两人约定在餐厅共进晚餐。
2. to one's relief意为“令某人感到宽慰的是……”。 根据下文可知，此处表示作者因为找到了迟到的理由，因此感到如释重负。
3. 一个商务会议拖延了时间，而“我”在会议一结束就立马赶来了。run over在这里意为“超时”。
4. 根据上文". . . meet at the restaurant. . . "可知答案。
5. 很抱歉，但是这是不可避免的。avoidable意为“可以避免的”。
6. “我”告诉她开会这个理由了，但是这让事情变得更糟糕了。作者本来以为有个理由会让自己得到宽恕，但是没想到事情越来越糟，前后是一种转折关系，所以用however。
7. 根据语境可知，作者是跟他的朋友描述这件事情。 describe意为“描述”。
8. 你并不是故意要迟到。intend to do sth, 意为“打算做某事”。“intend to be late”等于上文出现的“mean to be late”。
9. 迟到不是重点，重点是你的迟到对埃利诺造成的影响。此处important与上文的point相照应。
10. 此处while表示前后的对比关系，即作者关注的是原因，而他的妻子关注的是结果。
11. 作者通过朋友的分析逐渐地认识到了产生分歧的根本所在。
12. 行为产生的结果很关键。matter意为“要紧，有关系”。
13. “我”应该以“我”的行为怎样影响了埃利诺为契机来开始谈话。
14. “我”应该先保留(不谈论)“我”迟到的原因，把它留到最后再说或者干脆就不说。save意为“保留”。
15. 表示作者理解了妻子对于他迟到的感受。
（二）短文填空
答案：produced; gradually; types; the; adding; its; for; to start; which/that; has created
解析：①考查过去分词。句意：一名男子在点茶方面的能力给很多人留下了深刻的印象，他运用技巧用泡茶过程中产生的泡沫创造出生动的图像。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语 has impressed, 设空处应用非谓语动词。结合句意可知设空处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰 the tea foam, 被修饰词 the tea foam与produce之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填 produced。
②考查副词。句意：一个叫韩喆明的人在收集瓷器和茶具的过程中逐渐对宋代的茶文化产生了兴趣。此处修饰动词，应用副词作状语。故填gradually。
③考查名词复数。句意：在他最终选择白茶作为原料来点茶之前，尝试了不同类型的茶粉。根据空前的 different可知，设空处用可数名词的复数形式。故填 types。
④考查冠词。句意：我自学了这门手艺，经过多次练习才最终掌握了这项技能……。此处修饰名词skill, 表示特指，应用定冠词。故填 the。
⑤考查现在分词。句意：……韩补充说，要反复搅拌180到200次，茶表面才会出现一层厚厚的泡沫。句中已有谓语 explained, 设空处应用非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语，add和主句主语 Han之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填 adding。
⑥考查代词。句意同上。设空处修饰空后的surface, 应用形容词性物主代词。故填 its。
⑦考查介词。句意：他还解释说，由茶泡沫制成的图像会在茶表面停留45分钟到60分钟的时间。For some time 意为“一段时间”，故填 for。
⑧考查动词不定式。句意：作为初学者，他往往失败多次，他别无选择，只能一遍又一遍地重新开始。have no option but to do sth. 别无选择，只能做某事。故填 to start。
⑨考查定语从句。句意：用茶泡沫画的图像还传达了中国水墨画的美。设空处引导定语从句，先行词为 the images, 关系词在定语从句中作主语，故填 which 或 that。
⑩考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：在过去的六年里，韩模仿可追溯到宋朝的名作，用茶泡沫创作了近两百幅图像。根据时间状语 Over the past six years可知主句时态为现在完成时；主句主语Han为第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填 has created。
