【1】
考查主谓一致。该句中主语为one thing,we often ignore in our daily lives为后置定语修饰one thing,故谓语为第三人称单数形式。故填is。
【2】
考查名词。other译为“别的,其他的”后跟可数名词复数形式,故填problems。
【3】
考查非谓语动词。suffer在该句中为非谓语动词,其逻辑主语为“those”指那些人,二者构成主谓关系,用动词的现在分词形式。故填suffering。
【4】
考查形容词。句意:我拥抱我的顾客时,我可以看到他们的紧张和焦虑消失了。设空处与tension并列作see的宾语,此处应使用名词形式,故将anxious变为anxiety。故填anxiety。
【5】
考查不定式。分析句子可知,what引导的宾语从句中省略了谓语动词do,空格和后面部分在句中做目的状语,应使用动词不定式。故填to cure。
【6】
考查代词。设空处与my customers并列作动词helps的宾语,应用I的宾格me。故填me。
【7】
考查冠词。此处a number of译为“许多、大量”,修饰可数名词的复数形式。故填a。
【8】
考查连词。句意:尽管学多人认为她做这样的工作一定是疯了,杰西卡自信她做出了正确的选择。根据题意可知,此处表达让步关系,应使用连接词though\although\while。故填While\Although\Though。
【9】
考查形容词。设空处在系动词后作表语,应使用confidence的形容词形式confident。故填confident。
【10】
考查介词。此处考查have an effect on\upon sb\sth译为“对某人或某事产生影响”,为固定搭配。故填on\upon。
