6. to have 7. dealt with 8. anything 9. carefully
10. kindness

【分析】
首先通读整篇记叙文，明确故事背景是去年夏天的乡村研学旅行，整体时态为一般过去时，同时先梳理方框内给出的10个备选词/短语：something、carry、have、at first、care、kind、be、two、see、deal with，要求每个仅用一次。接下来逐个分析空格的语义和语法结构：
1. 第一空前面是固定结构be able to do，结合语境“他们很兴奋能够看到这个国家的不同区域”，匹配动词see，变形为不定式to see；
2. 第二空是there be句型，后面的主语many beautiful views是复数，时态为过去时，所以be动词变形为were；
3. 第三空后文提到“很快就开始享受那里的生活”，对应前文“一开始有些学生感到有点紧张”，匹配短语at first，句首首字母大写为At first；
4. 第四空是固定搭配have trouble doing sth.（做某事有困难），语境是老人扛重物有困难，动词carry变为动名词carrying；
5. 第五空是固定短语without thinking twice，意为“不假思索、毫不犹豫”，基数词two变为副词twice；
6. 第六空是固定搭配invite sb. to do sth.（邀请某人做某事），语境是老人邀请他们喝茶，动词have变为不定式to have；
7. 第七空语境是“村民们通过互相帮助应对挑战”，动作发生在过去，短语deal with变为过去式dealt with；
8. 第八空句子是否定句，不定代词something在否定句中要变为anything，语义为“没有任何事能阻止他们保持善良”；
9. 第九空要修饰前面的动作“种植庄稼、照看动物”，需要用副词作状语，名词care变为副词carefully；
10. 第十空固定结构a small act of + 名词，意为“小小的______行为”，形容词kind变为名词kindness，语义为小小的善举。
【解析】
1. 此处考查固定搭配be able to do sth. 表示“能够做某事”，结合语境“看到国家的不同区域”，填入see的不定式形式to see。
2. 此处考查there be句型的一般过去时，主语many beautiful views为复数，be动词的过去式复数形式为were。
3. 此处考查语境逻辑，后文“很快就享受当地生活”对应前文的初始状态“一开始紧张”，填入短语At first，句首首字母大写。
4. 此处考查固定搭配have trouble (in) doing sth. 表示“做某事有困难”，结合“扛重物”的语义，填入carry的动名词形式carrying。
5. 此处考查固定习语without thinking twice，意为“不假思索，毫不犹豫”，填入two的变形twice。
6. 此处考查固定搭配invite sb. to do sth. 表示“邀请某人做某事”，结合“喝茶”的语义，填入have的不定式形式to have。
7. 此处考查一般过去时的谓语动词，语境为“应对挑战”，动作发生在过去，deal with的过去式为dealt with。
8. 此处考查不定代词的用法，否定句中something要替换为anything，符合“没有任何事阻止他们善良”的语义。
9. 此处考查副词作状语，修饰前面的动作“种庄稼、照看动物”，care的副词形式carefully表示“仔细地、认真地”。
10. 此处考查名词作介词of的宾语，a small act of kindness表示“小小的善举”，形容词kind的名词形式为kindness。

1. to see
2. were
3. At first
4. carrying
5. twice

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后的表格里填入最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。
Homestays are becoming more and more popular, and people around the world are changing their homes into hotels. Homestays offer(提供) cheap places to stay, and the chance(机会) for visitors to see the area like a local. They are very popular with people who want to stay in another country to study or on holiday. We asked three families who run homestays to tell us about where they live.
The Atal family
Our family home is in a small village in the north of Pakistan, in the Himalayan mountains. The village is quite small and very quiet. The mountains are very beautiful. You can go for long walks and go swimming in the rivers but there are no shops, cinemas or cafes.
Kate and Julian Foxton
Our two - bed house is by the sea in the southwest of England. It is about five minutes' drive to the nearest village of Portreath. There are lots of beaches, rivers and forests and it is very quiet. We spend a lot of time reading books, watching films and going for walks. Our area is great for surfing, swimming and mountain biking. But the houses here are expensive, which can be a problem for local people. There are no buses or trains here, so it can be difficult to get around without a car.
Chafic and Aline Halwany
Our home is near the centre of Beirut, Lebanon, one of the largest cities in the Middle East. There are lots of cafes and restaurants, which open late at night. We love it here because it's so friendly and you can always find what you need—lots of people come to stay to learn Arabic and French. However, it can be very noisy at night, and there is quite a lot of traffic during the day.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了寄宿家庭越来越受欢迎，并介绍了三个寄宿家庭的一些情况。
1. away 2. walk 3. England 4. time 5. sports/activities
6. high 7. easy 8. open 9. what/anything/everything
10. noise

【分析】
这道题是表格型任务型阅读，要求每空仅填一个单词，解题思路如下：
1. 首先通读全文和表格主题，明确本文介绍三个不同地区的寄宿家庭的优缺点，所有空的答案都可以通过定位原文内容、结合语法规则和固定搭配推导得出。
2. 逐个空对应定位原文：先看标题空，结合寄宿家庭“离家在外的家”的属性回忆固定搭配；再分别对应三个家庭的原文段落，把表格里的句子和原文原句做比对，提取符合语法、语义的单词，遇到同义转换的空，比如形容词转名词、反义词替换的情况，结合空格前后的结构推导正确形式。
【解析】
1. 空1：标题表达的含义是“家外之家”，固定搭配away from home表示“远离家”，符合寄宿家庭的属性，填away。
2. 空2：定位Atal家庭的原文"You can go for long walks and go swimming in the rivers"，表格中情态动词can后接动词原形，和swim并列，填walk。
3. 空3：定位Kate和Julian Foxton的原文"Our two - bed house is by the sea in the southwest of England"，可知他们所在的地区是England。
4. 空4：原文提到开车仅5分钟就能到海滩、河流和森林，表格中固定结构it takes a short time to do sth.表示“做某事花费很短时间”，填time。
5. 空5：后文列举的冲浪、游泳、山地骑行都属于运动/户外活动，所以填sports或者activities都符合语义。
6. 空6：定位原文"But the houses here are expensive"，表示房价很高，修饰价格price用high，填high。
7. 空7：定位原文"so it can be difficult to get around without a car"，表格中是not加形容词，difficult等价于not easy，填easy。
8. 空8：定位原文"There are lots of cafes and restaurants, which open late at night"，空格前是be动词are，后面接形容词表示“营业的”，填open。
9. 空9：定位原文"you can always find what you need"，直接对应填what，也可以填anything/everything表示你总能找到你需要的所有东西，语义通顺。
10. 空10：定位原文"it can be very noisy at night"，空格前是much，后面接不可数名词，noisy对应的名词是noise，填noise。
【答案】
1. away 2. walk 3. England 4. time 5. sports/activities
6. high 7. easy 8. open 9. what/anything/everything 10. noise
【知识点】
任务型阅读信息定位，固定短语搭配，词性转换
【点评】
本题难度适中，大部分空可以直接通过定位原文原句得到答案，少部分空考察同义转换的能力，比如将原文的形容词expensive转换为修饰price的high，将noisy转换为名词noise，既考察学生的信息检索能力，也兼顾了基础词汇和语法的运用，符合初中英语任务型阅读的考察要求。
