【解析】选词填空题选词的能力。首选要熟悉每个词或词组的意义，同时也要注意 “词不离句”的特点，填写时要特别注意词的正确形式。

（1）getting away with考查现在分词短语。句意：作为一名教师，她不能让任何学生在考试中作弊而不受惩罚。can't have sb. doing sth.（不允许某人做某事），所以用现在分词短语getting away with（不因某事受惩罚），故填getting away with.

（2）accounting for考查现在分词短语。句意：中国有14亿人口，其中老年人占15.5%。with+宾语+宾补，现在分词短语accounting for（在数量、比例上占）作宾补，与宾语是主动关系，故填accounting for.

（3）confirming考查现在分词。句意：他脸上露出困惑的表情，证实他没有完全听懂她的话。现在分词confirming（证实）作状语，故填confirming.

（4）having a gift for考查现在分词短语。句意：为了组建一个乐队，他们为有唱歌和表演天赋的人做广告。现在分词短语having a gift for（有……天赋）作定语，修饰名词people，与之是主动关系，故填having a gift for.

（5）have settled down考查动词短语。句意：他在课常上思想不集中。他本应该认真上课和做笔记的。should have done sth.（本应该做某事），故填have settled down.

（6）teaming up考查现在分词短语。句意：由于彼此不了解，他们很难在一开始就进行合作研究。固定句式：have/has a good /hard time in doing sth.（做……很快乐/难），故填teaming up.

（7）depending on考查现在分词短语。句意：你可以得到额外工作的报酬，这要依靠你做了的工作。现在分词短语depending on…作状语，故填depending on.

（8）took on考查动词短语。句意：他毫不犹豫地承担了为这次审讯搜集证据的责任。谓语动词，说的是过去的事情，要用过去时态，故填took on.
