【答案】

【3】a

【4】pushed

【5】where

【6】choice

【7】on

【8】him

【9】at

【10】was informed

【解析】试题分析：本文讲叙Jane在圣诞节给父亲选礼物，因往年送父亲领带不能使父亲高兴，满以为这次买烟斗送父亲会让父亲高兴的，却被告知父亲终于戒烟了。

【1】it 考查代词。在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose…，用it 。

【2】to please 考查非谓语动词。在形容词后作状语，只能用动词不定式，用to please 。

【3】a考查冠词。表示“一次”愉快的经历，用a。

【4】pushed考查动词。与stepped并列，也用一般过去时，用pushed。

【5】where考查关系词。因两句之间没有连词，必定是填连词；后句是定语从句，要填的词在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词，用where。

【6】choice考查名词。在形容词性物主代词后一定是用名词形式，用choice。

【7】on考查介词。因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配，用on。

【8】him考查代词。给父亲买礼物，根据常识应是使父亲高兴，作宾语用代词。please him /father使他高兴，用him。

【9】at考查介词。名词（table）在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，很可能就是作介词的宾语；由having supper可知，填at；因为at table表示“在餐桌边，在进餐”，也是习惯搭配，用at。

【10】was informed考查被动语态。因Jane与inform是被动关系，又是一般过去时，用was informed。
