六、综合填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)

Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬) into our mouths and stops us from 72 (speak). But we shouldn't let it stay there. I'm 29 years old. Even today, that "snake" still sometimes 73 (visit) me. When I was in high school, I was so shy 74 I wouldn't talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a 75 (strange) asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I'd forgotten how to talk. One summer, I 76 (get) a job in a restaurant, and that helped a lot. I mean, I had to talk to customers(顾客). I had to tell them how much 77 (they) meal cost. I had to ask them if they wanted to drink soda or coffee.
This job 78 (teach) me how to speak with people. You may be too young 79 (find) a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family. If you are able to do these 80 (thing) well, the "snake" will soon begin to leave you alone. It'll look for another mouth to crawl into.

71. at 72. speaking 73. visits 74. that 75. stranger
76. got 77. their 78. taught 79. to find 80. things

【分析】
需结合固定搭配、语法规则、词性转换及时态等知识点逐个分析：
1. 71空：考查固定搭配，laugh at是固定短语，意为“嘲笑”，符合语境“害怕他们会嘲笑你说的话”，故填at。
2. 72空：考查固定结构，stop sb from doing sth意为“阻止某人做某事”，介词from后接动名词，故将speak变为speaking。
3. 73空：考查主谓一致与时态，主语that "snake"是第三人称单数，句子为一般现在时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故将visit变为visits。
4. 74空：考查固定句型，so...that...意为“如此……以至于……”，引导结果状语从句，符合语境“我如此害羞以至于除了父母和好友外不跟任何人说话”，故填that。
5. 75空：考查词性转换，不定冠词a后需接名词，strange是形容词，其名词形式stranger意为“陌生人”，符合语境，故填stranger。
6. 76空：考查时态，时间状语one summer表过去，句子用一般过去时，故将get变为过去式got。
7. 77空：考查代词，修饰名词meal需用形容词性物主代词，they的形容词性物主代词为their，故填their。
8. 78空：考查时态，此处讲述过去的经历，用一般过去时，故将teach变为过去式taught。
9. 79空：考查固定结构，too...to...意为“太……而不能……”，后接动词原形，故填to find。
10. 80空：考查名词复数，指示代词these后接可数名词复数，故将thing变为things。
