【解析】

试题分析：

 am tired of  固定搭配“对…感到厌倦”句意：同样的食物吃了一个月，我吃腻了，再也不想吃了。

 earn her living 固定搭配earn one’s living谋生；earn one’s living by doing sth通过…谋生。

 keeps his word 固定搭配keep one’s word信守诺言；句子的word表示诺言。

 in the shape of 固定搭配in the shape of…以…的形状。在万圣节，很多孩子都打扮成鬼的形状。

 looks forward to    本句是一个定语从句，每个人都盼望的假期已经来了。定语从句中的谓语动词要和先行词保持一致。

 set off  固定搭配set off for..动身前往…；注意该词还有其它意思：引起，使…发生。

 before long 固定搭配before long不久以后；要注意long before很久之前。

 are curious about 固定搭配be curious about…对…感到好奇。

 lose weight  固定搭配lose weight减肥。

 took place 固定搭配发生take place，注意该短语没有被动语态的形式。时间状语是that day，故使用一般过去时。
