【分析】
本题为英语完成句子题，需结合固定句型、搭配及短语完成句子：1. 第一题考查固定句型“It is + adj + for sb to do sth”，“组装架子”对应put together the shelf，按句型结构补全；2. 第二题考查“be surprised to do sth”搭配，“乱七八糟”是in a mess，结合主语和时态补全；3. 第三题考查“know one's way around”搭配，表“熟悉”，用过去式；4. 第四题“自制某物”是make sth by oneself，“吸引注意”是catch one's eye，结合时态补全；5. 第五题考查“have a talent for”搭配，“天生的”是born；6. 第六题考查“look forward to doing sth”短语，to为介词后接动名词，结合现在进行时补全。
【解析】
1. 运用固定句型“It is + 形容词 + for sb to do sth”，it为形式主语，真正主语是不定式短语，“组装这个架子”译为put together the shelf，因此填for him to put together the shelf；
2. 考查固定搭配“be surprised to do sth”（惊讶做某事），“发现”是find，“房间乱七八糟”是in a mess，主语为she，be动词可用一般现在时is或一般过去时was，因此填is/was surprised to find her room in a mess；
3. 考查固定搭配“know one's way around”，意为“熟悉、精通”，主语Zhao Yuanren为第三人称单数，结合语境用一般过去时knew，对应形容词性物主代词his，因此填knew his way around；
4. 第一空“自制某物”表达为make sth by oneself，“落地灯”是floor lamp，对应反身代词himself，故填the floor lamp by himself；第二空“吸引某人的注意”是catch one's eye，结合前句过去式用caught everyone's eye；
5. 考查“have a talent for”（有...天赋），“天生的画家”是a born painter，结合句意补全为a natural talent for painting and is a born；
6. 考查固定短语“look forward to doing sth”，其中to为介词，后接动名词，“上那门课”是take that course，结合现在进行时结构，填looking forward to taking that course。
【答案】
1. for him to put together the shelf
2. is/was surprised to find her room in a mess
3. knew his way around
4. the floor lamp by himself; caught everyone's eye
5. a natural talent for painting and is a born

五、阅读理解
As prices and building costs keep going up, the do-it-yourself (DIY) trend (趋势) in the USA goes on growing.
“We needed furniture (家具) for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married (结婚) six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are working hard to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife (妻子) died.

I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are ordinary people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so that they can fight with the high cost of living.
