Answer 1

分析 本文讲的是一位老教授在他九十岁的时候仍然每天工作八个小时，他的秘书说他很老了，但是他还强迫自己步行去上班，这让他有成就感．一天一位大学生抱怨每次老教授都会给他许多书，老教授知道后说这是他的学习方法．

解答 1．of 考查介词短语．regardless of"不管，不顾"，此处句意为"不管天气怎样，他都坚持上班"，因此填of． 
2．It  考查代词．此处it为形式主语，it take sb．+时间+to do sth为固定句型．
3．success 考查名词．根据前面of可知后面应填名词形式success． 
4．stepped 考查时态．根据后面complained可知此处叙述的是过去的事，因此用一般过去时．
5．finding 考查非谓语动词．suggest 后面跟动名词形式．此处me是finding的逻辑主语．
6．what 考查从句 what引导宾语从句，在从句中作介词about的宾语
7．harder 考查形容词比较级．根据后面可知此处应用比较级．
8．probably考查副词．此处用来修饰动词become
9．who 考查定语从句．who指人，在从句中做主语．
10．to go考查不定式．此处是固定用法，be+adj+to do．
