Answer 1

【答案】

【1】it

【2】Though/Although

【3】upsetting

【4】was told

【5】feeling

【6】with

【7】freedom

【8】to run

【9】had happened

【10】suddenly

【解析】试题分析：作者怀揣着一个作家梦，但屡屡碰壁，丧失信心的他有一天突然顿悟写作绝非易事，跌跌撞撞才是真，从中学习不断成长才是王道，最后他重拾旧梦，开始写作。

【1】it 根据该空所在的句子可知，后面的to get a book of mine才是真正意义上的主语，所以此空是填写形式主语it。

【2】Though/Although 根据上下文语境内容，上半句说作者尝试了很多次，下半句说书还是未能出版。所以这里是让步的关系，并且需要一个连词。

【3】upsetting 根据句子结构，该空应该填写一个形容词，并且主语是一件事情，所以使用upsetting。

【4】was told 因为前文说作者接到一通电话，所以这里应该是被告知，并且时态是发生在过去，所以使用过去时的被动语态。

【5】Feeling 这里是考查非谓语动词，因为feel这个动作的发出者正好是下文的主语I，所以应该使用主动形式。

【6】with 考查介词的使用。with这里表示“跟着，和…一起”。

【7】freedom 因为该空后面有一个介词of连接，所以这里应该填写一个名词，free的名词是freedom。

【8】to run 考查搭配。continue to do sth“继续做某事”，所以该空填写to run。

【9】had happened 考查虚拟语气。表示对过去事件的虚拟用过去完成时，所以使用had happened。

【10】suddenly 考查副词。因为后面的realize是一个动词，这里应该使用副词来修饰。
