Answer 1

【答案】

【1】inventions

【2】a

【3】to

【4】about

【5】angrily

【6】because

【7】usual

【8】ordered

【9】who

【10】favorite

【解析】

【1】inventions;此处考查名词的复数形式，此句缺主语，故填名词形式，前面有some，而且invention是可数名词，故填inventions。

【2】a;这里的a表示数量，这个饭馆的名字在前面已经写出不需要特指用the,故填a。

【3】to;此句的意思是很多高层阶级的人来到这里是为了感受他的烹饪，表示目的用to do st，故填to。

【4】about;固定搭配：complain about，抱怨某事，故填about。

【5】angrily;此句主谓宾都不缺，这里的副词代表George的一种状态，故填angrily。

【6】because;考查连词：上句顾客把炸土豆退还到厨房和下句它们还不够脆是因果关系，故填because。

【7】usual;形容词修饰后面的名词way，故填usual。

【8】ordered;考查时态:这篇文章发生在过去，全篇使用一般过去时。故填ordered。

【9】who;know后面接宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，而且后面的回答是人名。故填who。

【10】favorite;形容词修饰后面的food，但不填favorable的原因是，favorable表示同意的，好的，优惠的，而favorite表示最喜爱的，要注意这两个形容词的区别，故填favorite。
