1．that/who 引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，指人，故填that或who。 2．various 作名词reasons的定语，填形容词。 3．the same前必须有定冠词。

4．central 作dining room的定语用形容词。

5．filled (be)filled with“充满，装满”，是固定短语；此处作定语，故填filled。 6．but 根据invited us to stay与had to leave为对比关系，判断本空填表示转折的连词but。

7．watching see sb.doing sth.“看见某人正在做某事”。

8．warmth 在there be句式中，位于be动词之后，是主语，而且有so much修饰，故填名词warmth。

1．join in＋某种活动，join＋某个组织或团体。 2．all the＋名词复数表示“全部的……”。

3．hardly意为“几乎不”，hard意为“努力地”。从句意可知，此处意为“努力练习”，故用hard。

4．have a match“进行比赛”，match为可数名词，其前加a。 5．该句的谓语动词是cooperate，此处应用副词修饰动词作状语。 6．compete for the school honor“为学校的荣誉而战”。 7．根据上下文语意可知此处应为we。

Many students may feel __1__(stress) because of their parents.Most parents have good intentions，but some of them aren't very __2__(help) with the problems their sons and daughters have in __3__(adjust) to college，and a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children's difficulties.

Sometimes parents think it right and __9__(nature) that they determine what their children do with their lives.They forget that everyone is different and that each person must develop __10__ his or her own way.

1．stressed 主语是many students，表语用-ed形式的形容词，此处意为“焦虑的，紧张的”，用stressed。

2．helpful 所填词作表语，说明主语的特性，用形容词helpful“有帮助的”。 3．adjusting “their sons and daughters have in __3__(adjust)to college”是problems的定语，根据短语have problems in doing...判断，本空填动名词。

4．competition 作句子的主语，前面有the，所以填名词competition。 5．higher 根据前面的stronger判断，此处要填比较级higher。 6．the 特指上文提到的变化，change前用定冠词。 7．gently 修饰动词ask用副词。

8．worst 根据上文的at their kindest判断本空填最高级worst。

9．natural 所填词由and连接，与前面的形容词right并列，故应为natural。 10．in in one's own way“用自己的方式”。 短文改错

Once，as I was getting ready for the school，my mother accidentally handed me my father's shirt instead of me.I was very upset that I violently ripped it apart!

The evening，my mother shared my father her own frustration，“See what your son

When my mother told me about my father's response late，I immediately felt ashamed，knowing that he was spending the entire day wearing a tearing shirt.At the same time，I was filled with great admiration for my father，whose gently kindness taught me a life lesson I would never forget.
