【解析】本文讲述了一个英国家庭回归"原始"生活,远离电子产品的故事。
【1】考查非谓语动词。rush to do sth.为固定搭配,表示"匆忙去做某事"。
【2】考查非谓语动词。此处为get sth. done结构,表示"使……被做,完成……"。
【3】考查名词单复数。根据空后的谓语have可以判断出此空应该填名词复数形式,且此空位于句首,故首字母应大写。
【4】考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰名词cities,所以应该用形容词。
【5】考查冠词。lead a... life为固定搭配,表示"过一种……的生活"。
【6】考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,see后是一个宾语从句,空格处为连词,且从句中缺少like的宾语,因此用what。
【7】考查时态。根据语境可知,此处叙述的是过去发生的事情,描述这家人做了什么,因此应该用一般过去时。
【8】考查副词。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰形容词hard,因此应该用副词。
【9】考查代词。此处指Benjamin的外祖母,所以用his。
【10】考查定语从句的关系词。此处先行词为one,表示人,定语从句中缺少主语,因此who和that 都可以。
