Answer 1

1. is performing解析:考查动词时态。根据上文的“when things are going badly” 可知用现在进行时态。

2. adjustments 解析：考查名词。根据上 文的discuss和空后which引导的定语从 句可以判断，这里缺少一个名词，又根据定语从句中的“ which are…”可以判断 此处应该使用名词的复数形式。

3. effectively解析:考査副词的使用。根 据上文中的perform可以判断此处缺少 一个修饰动词perform的副词。

4. which解析：考查定语从句的引导词。 该非限制性定语从句只能用which引 导，which指代前面整个主句的内容。

5. often解析：考查上下文的逻辑关系。 注意本句是一个设问句，根据下面的回 答“ Probably not often enough. ” 可以判 断，本问句应该和频率有关，所以用how often来提问。

6. an解析：考查固定短语。put an end to... “结束 ，终止 ”。

7 . to become解析：考查非谓语动词。动 词tend常与动词不定式连用，表示“倾 向于做某事”。

8. in解析:考査介词的用法。in the direc-tionof...“朝 的方向”。

9. though 解析：考查副词和上下文的逻 辑关系。此处和上文构成转折关系，因 此使用表转折的副词though。

10. of解析：考查固定搭配。be aware of 是固定短语，意为“意识到”。
