Answer 1

【答案】

【1】felt

【2】it

【3】without

【4】terrible

【5】impossible

【6】found

【7】that/which

【8】loss

【9】taking

【10】better

【解析】

【1】felt 考查时态。空格后面的从句用的was making，包括后面一句He also complained of…也是过去时，那么本句也要用过去时，故用felt。

【2】it 考查代词。句意：最近亚当发现喝太多的咖啡让他难以入睡。it在这里是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。make it +adj. +to do sth. 表示“使做某事怎么样”。

【3】without 考查介词。根据第一段最后一句So he decided to stop drinking coffee.（他决定不再喝咖啡）可知，这天早上没有喝咖啡，故用表示否定含义的介词without。

【4】terrible 考查形容词。condition是名词，修饰名词用形容词，故用terrible。句意：11点的时候，亚当状态很差。

【5】impossible 考查形容词。根据前面说他状态很差，说明没有办法集中精力，故用possible的否定形式impossible。

【6】found 考查非谓语动词。a chemical_____6_____ (find) in coffee是Caffeine的同位语，所以这里应该是作定语修饰a chemical，a chemical和find之间是被动关系，故要用found。

【7】that/which 考查关系代词。句意：咖啡因是一种可以提高能量，促进精力集中的刺激物。空格后面是定语从句，修饰先行词stimulant，从句中少主语，且指代物，故用关系代词that或which。

【8】loss 考查名词。咖啡因少了，引起头疼和精力不集中。根据句意及前面的the可知，这里需要用名词形式，故用loss。

【9】taking 考查非谓语动词。句意：医生建议吃些药。suggest doing sth.是固定结构，表示“建议做某事”，故用taking。

【10】better 考查比较级。不到一个星期，他会感觉好很多。和现在的状态做比较，故用比较级，即better。
