2. 解析:选C。作为单身母亲，“我”总是不由自主想到自己的缺点。tend to do意为“倾向于”。

2. 解析:选A。考查短语辨析。pick up 捡起，(偶然)学会; take up 占据(时间、空间); turn up 调高；put up 显现；张贴。根据句意“如果你读几遍那首诗，你的孩子将会学会它。”故选A。

3. 解析:选C。考查fire的相关短语。set fire to 放火(焚烧)……; catch fire 着火，表示动作，不用于被动语态；be on fire 在燃烧，表示状态。根据句意选C。

4. 解析:选D。考查take place的用法。take place 发生，不用于被动语态，故选D。

5. 解析:选D。考查cause的用法。句意为：有声明说饲料价格的上涨导致了鸡蛋价格上涨。cause sb./ sth. to do意为“导致某人或某物……”。故选D。

6. 解析:选C。考查动词词义辨析。strike 突然想起，相当于occur to; hit 忽然想到，常和on连用；occur 发生；想起, It occurs/occurred to sb. that ...意为“某人突然想起……”; beat无“想起”之意。故选C。

7. 解析:选C。考查end up的用法。end up意为“结果为……，以……结束”，在不和其他介词连用时，其后常接形容词或v.-ing形式；end up in强调“最后有某种结果或最后到达某处”，end up with指“以……结束”，end up with a draw意为“打成平局”；end up as 意为“结果成为了……”，如：end up as a teacher。根据句意，故选C。

8. 解析:选D。考查过去完成时的被动语态。根据By the end of last year可知，complete的动作是在the end of last year(过去的)之前，故应该用过去完成时，可排除B、C两项。因为the construction是complete的承受者，应该用被动语态。故选D。

9. 解析:选B。考查副词词义辨析。hopefully 满怀希望地; thankfully 感激地，满怀感谢地; fortunately 幸运地，幸亏; sadly 伤心地，不幸地。根据句意“他满怀希望地走进了经理办公室，因为他确信自己会得到这份工作。”故选B。

10. 解析:选B。考查现在分词作伴随状语。根据“and”可知，pour的动作应该与erupt并列作谓语，故应该用过去时；bury的动作作句子的伴随状语，bury和它的逻辑主语“the lava”是主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。
