【解析】本文作者讲述的是"咖啡"对她的意义,字里行间流露着温馨的情感。

【1】考查词性转换。咖啡宜人的香味弥漫在房子中。空处修饰名词smell,故用形容词pleasant"宜人的,令人愉快的"。

【2】考查名词的复数。空前没有限定词,且story"故事"是可数名词,故用其复数形式。

【3】考查形容词的比较级。她总是说她发现没有真正的咖啡比学英语还要难。空后的than暗示此处要用hard的比较级形式。

【4】考查非谓语动词。咖啡就是我爸爸和妈妈每晚在饭后看ABC新闻。本句已经有谓语动词is,故空处用非谓语动词,my dad and mum和watch是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式。

【5】考查动词的时态。我们没有钱的时候就露营。run out of money这一动作的结果就是camp,应该用完成时态,且此处描述的是过去的事情,故用过去完成时态。此处也可用一般过去时表示过去某一时间发生的动作或状态。

【6】考查介词。把我们刚赚的钱花在了一瓶啤酒上。spend sth. on sth.为固定搭配,意为"在……上花费……"。可知答案为on。

【7】考查冠词。at the start of...是固定搭配,意为"在……开始时"。可知答案为the。

【8】考查词性转换。咖啡就是儿时的我在星期天早上惬意地抱着小猫躺在床上看报纸。空处修饰非谓语动词,故用副词形式cosily。

【9】考查非谓语动词。base在此意为"把……设在……",分析句子结构可知,base与其逻辑主语a coffee bar之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式。

【10】考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,表示"所……的事物",故用What。
