答案与解析：
一、选词填空
1. had; effect on 2. addicted to 3. got into 4. was ashamed of 5. In spite of
6. feel like 7. due to 8. is accustomed to 9. Having decided on
10. take risks
难点解析：
9. 因为句子已经有了主语和谓语“we left...”，动词decide需要用非谓语形式；decide这一动作是主语we所做，是主动关系，并且在句子的谓语动作left之前完成，所以用-ing形式的完成式。
二、根据汉语提示完成句子。
1. abuse their power 2. strengthened our resolve/ determination for the project
3. quitted/gave up smoking 4. are banned from bringing
5. time that we planned/should plan 6. accustom myself to/ get accustomed to
7. was so desperate for 8. due to the good habit
9. under a lot of stress 10. were taken off
三、单项选择
1. D。being spoken to 是动词-ing形式的被动语态作宾语，注意she是speak to的逻辑宾语，speak是不及物动词，to不能少。句意：她习惯于别人那样和她说话。
2. D。risk doing 表示“冒险做某事”。因为森林特别危险，所以去那里是冒险。
3. D。be accustomed to not doing 表示“习惯不做某事”，-ing形式的否定式是在-ing形式
前加not。
4. B。as 引导的非限制性定语从句，译为“正如报纸上报道的那样，”易误选A，talks前应有that引导主语从句才能用it作形式主语。
5. C。对对方的提议的否定的回答； B项和D项都前后矛盾。句意：不去了，我今天早晨真的没有情绪去散步。
6. B。in spite of 表示“尽管，虽然”。thanks to 多亏了，由于；due to 由于；instead of 代替，而不是。
7. A。be ashamed of表示“为……而羞愧”。此句中去掉be，用ashamed of作宾语补足语。ashamed表示人的感觉，意为“感到羞愧的”shameful表示事物的性质，意为“（事情）可耻的，丢脸的”；shameless 无耻的。
8. D。come into effect 生效；come into use 开始被使用；come into power 开始掌权。
9. D。句意：在医护人员的帮助下，他的精神和体力渐渐地变好了。mental 表示“精神上的”，作定语修饰health；physical 表示“身体的，物理学的”，与下面的strength有重复；mind 表示“思维，想法”，是名词。
10. C。句意：这里的取暖系统有自动调温控制。automatic 自动的；automobile 汽车；autumn 秋天；aural 听觉的。
11. A。lay stress on 强调。句意：英语老师特别强调了朗读的必要性。
12. A。decide on 选定，决定；try sth. on 试穿（衣物）；take on 呈现；carry on 继续做。
13. A。本题易误选C。in spite of 为介词短语，后接名词、代词或短语，不能接句子，而本句第一个空后是句子的形式，需填连词， while用作连词，意思为“虽然；尽管”； have ...in common为固定短语，意为“有共同之处”。
14. C。句意：在中国一个女孩未婚先孕是很尴尬的事，但是在一些西方国家，这是很常见而且可以接受的。根据句意，第一空填awkward和embarrassing都可以；common常见的、共同的，强调出现的次数频繁或范围广泛；general 全面的、整体的；ordinary 普通的、平凡的，与superior（优良的、上等的）相对；normal 正常的、正规的。
15. D。句意：他在择友上判断力很强，这使她很高兴。judgement 判断（力）；justice 公正；conclusion 结论；intention 意图。
