Answer 1

【答案】

【小题1】resting

【小题2】a

【小题3】was told

【小题4】who

【小题5】to prove

【小题6】education

【小题7】invitations

【小题8】in

【小题9】comes

【小题10】certainly

【解析】

【小题1】考查非谓语动词。固定短语：spend time doing sth花费时间做某事。

【小题2】考查冠词。model是可数名词，前面没有限定词，而此处泛指“一个”，故填a。

【小题3】考查动词。根据句意判断，谓语动词应该用一般过去时的被动形式，主语Sarah是第三人称单数，故填was told。

【小题4】考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，代替先行词Sarah，应该用人称代词who。

【小题5】考查非谓语动词。want to do sth.想要做某事。

【小题6】考查词形转换。形容词性物主代词后面应该接名词形式。

【小题7】考查名词单复数。several修饰可数名词复数形式，故填invitations。

【小题8】考查介词。in表示“在某方面”，“get a degree in…”获得某项学位。

【小题9】考查动词。根据语境可知，Sarah认为当下应该是学业第一，说明现在的情况应该用一般现在时。

【小题10】考查副词。修饰动词应该用副词形式，故填certainly。
