8．A decide on选定；try sth.on试穿(衣物)；take on呈现；carry on进行某事，继续做。结合空后面的for my next holiday，可知选A。
7．B shameful通常用来作定语；be ashamed of感到惭愧；shame作及物动词时，表示“使……感到羞愧”，C、D是其两种分词形式，一般不构成固定搭配。结合语境和空格后的介词可知应选B。
6．B feel like doing sth....想做……，愿意做……；would rather后引导从句时，从句中要用虚拟语气，即要用一般过去时，表示“宁愿做……”。
5．D be devoted to致力于；be related to与……有联系；be connected to与……相关联；be addicted to对……上瘾的。
4．B 第一空表示“习惯于干某事”，可用be used to doing或be accustomed to doing，故排除C、D两项，第二空可用adapt/accustom oneself to使自己习惯于。
3．C build up one’s strength强身健体。
2．A 句意为“医生们正在研究以便发现当人们戒烟时，他们身体上将会发生什么情况”。decline下降；prevent阻止；reserve预订。
1．A due to由于，起因于，常用做表语，第一个空应填was due to；第二个空填was due to，due为形容词，意思是“合理的，应支付的”。money与其后作定语的动词不定式具有逻辑上的动宾关系，不定式应用被动式。
