【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。
