【分析】
这是一篇记叙文类语法填空题，解题时首先通读全文，梳理文章核心内容：介绍来自英国的大卫热爱京剧、学习京剧、在英国传播中国传统文化的经历，先明确全文整体时态：描述过去经历用一般过去时，描述当下情况用一般现在时。之后逐空分析：先判断空格处所需词性，结合固定搭配、时态规则、句子成分、并列逻辑逐一推导答案，最后代入全文检查逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
30. 空格后lover是可数名词单数，此处表达“一名京剧爱好者”，表泛指，且lover以辅音音素开头，因此填不定冠词a。
31. 时间状语Several years ago表示过去的时间，描述过去的状态，主语David是第三人称单数，一般过去时中be动词对应形式为was。
32. 固定搭配decide to do sth. 意为“决定做某事”，因此此处填动词不定式to go。
33. 动词gave后需要接人称代词宾格作宾语，主格he对应的宾格形式是him。
34. 固定短语be late for意为“……迟到”，是常用介词搭配，因此填for。
35. 固定结构“sth. + be + 形容词 + to do”用不定式主动形式表被动含义，因此填to understand。
36. 并列连词and后接可数名词复数stories，前后形式保持一致，novel也要变为复数形式novels，表泛指各类中国小说。
37. 空格后出现比较级标志词than，形容词popular需要变为比较级形式more popular。
38. 固定搭配not only...but also...意为“不但……而且……”，因此填but。
39. 此处引导主语从句，在从句中作hopes的宾语，表达“所希望的事”，句首首字母大写，因此填引导词What。
【答案】
30. a 31. was 32. to go 33. him 34. for 35. to understand 36. novels 37. more popular 38. but 39. What

【分析】
这道题可以借助英语构词法的规律来解题：首先观察两个单词的结尾后缀，-ation和-ment都是非常典型的名词后缀，可直接判定两个单词的词性为名词；再分别对应两个派生词的动词词根，participation的词根是动词participate（参加），entertainment的词根是动词entertain（使娱乐），派生词会保留词根的核心含义，就能顺利推导出两个单词的词义。
【解析】
40. 单词participation带有典型名词后缀-ation，源自动词participate（参与、参加），词性为名词，对应含义为参加。
41. 单词entertainment带有典型名词后缀-ment，源自动词entertain（使娱乐、招待），词性为名词，对应含义为娱乐。
【答案】
40. n.参加 41. n.娱乐
