【1】考查状语从句。句意：在你被播种的地方开花。根据句意及句子结构分析可知，此处应为地点状语从句。故填where。

【2】考查词性转化。句意：这个工作的职责是随机参观项目中每个老师的教室。根据句意及句子成分分析可知，此处应使用名词“职责”，单复数形式都可以，作主语。故填responsibility/responsibilities。

【3】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词the one指代Dorothy（一名老师），连词在从句中作主语。故填 who。

【4】考查非谓语动词。wind around“缠绕，卷绕在……上”，此处与a road为逻辑主谓关系，应使用-ing分词作定语。故填winding。

【5】考查非谓语动词。此处为介词of的宾语，意为“被同一列火车撞上的可能”。故填being caught。

【6】考查词性转化。分析句意及句子结构可知，此处指“给了我最大的无望感”，应使用“无望”的名词形式。故填hopelessness。
