答案解析
1. L 空格前的electric pot for与water后的ceramic pot for brewing为并列关系。后
者的意思是“用来冲泡的陶瓷壶”，那么前面的意思可能为“用来烧水的电 热水壶”，其中“烧”这个词要用其动名词形式，与brewing对应。选项中只 有boiling符合题意。
2. G 空格前为名词delight和and,判断空处应为名词，几个名词选项中，只有 astonishment“令人惊讶的事”符合语境。此处要表达“这是一件令人髙兴的 事，也是一件令人惊讶的事”。
3. M 空格前是介词，空格后为代词ones，空处应该填形容词。几个形容词选项中只有respectable“体面的；相当好的”符合题意，此处表示的是“体面的 饭店”。
4. A 空格前是情态动词can，判断此处应填动词原形。根据句意“……当被要求来一杯奶茶时，可能会 一个装有热水的塑料水壶，水壶上包着一块保鲜膜……”和上下文的语境推测此处应填一个表示“递给”的动词，故 deliver最合适。
5. H 空格前为限定词a，判断空处应填一个名词。几个名词选项中，只有glimpse符合题意，意为“瞥了一眼”。
6. C 空格所在句子大意为“关于为什么古代史卡拉坡城的居民会把他们的茅屋建造在离大海这么近的地方这一问题，考古学家们是 ”，空格前为系动词are，由此判断空格处应填一个形容词，作表语，选项所给的形容词中 只有confosed合适，意为“疑惑的”。
7. O 空格前是系动词was，空格后是动词located，由此推测空格处应填一个副词，所给的副词中只有originally(起初)符合题意。
8. B 空格前是不定冠词a(an)，空格后为名词sea、并列连词and和the howling wind，分析此处应填一个和howling并列的、修饰sea的形容词。sparkling意 为“波光粼粼的”，符合题意。
9.1 空格前后都出现了名词，且空格前还有表示伴随的介词with，分析此处应填动词的现在分词形式。此处语境：在阳光下吃着奶酪和苹果，风 我们的头，把沙子吹进起伏的山脊，吹平了海草。由语境推测应填入动词 skim “掠过”的现在分词形式skimming。
10. J空格前为形容词，分析此处应填一个名词。全文都在介绍苏格兰的家庭生 活，故此处应填入domesticity，意为“对家庭的挚爱”。typical sense of Scottish domesticity即“苏格兰人典型的对家庭的挚爱之情”。
