()8. After years of hard work, she in achieving her dream.

A.successfully
B.successful
C.succeeded
D.success

8. C

【分析】首先观察句子结构，空格位于主语she之后，需充当谓语成分，因此应选择动词形式；其次结合固定搭配“succeed in doing sth”（成功做某事），再根据语境“经过多年努力”判断动作发生在过去，需用一般过去时，据此筛选选项。
【解析】句子主语是she，空格处需作谓语，A为副词、B为形容词、D为名词，均不能作谓语，故排除；固定搭配“succeed in doing sth”表示“成功做某事”，结合过去的时间背景“After years of hard work”，应使用动词succeed的过去式succeeded，因此选C。
【答案】C
【知识点】动词时态、固定搭配（succeed in）
【点评】本题考查动词形式及固定搭配，属于基础题型，需掌握常见动词短语的用法和时态判断方法。

D.by; of

9. A

【分析】
这道题考查介词的固定搭配用法，解题思路是先区分be known相关短语的含义，再结合语境选择合适的介词，最后判断第二个空的固定搭配。第一步，明确be known for表示“因……而闻名”，be known as表示“作为……而闻名”，结合“扬州以中式园林闻名”的语境，确定第一空用for；第二步，“in the + 风格”是固定表达，“in the Chinese style”意为“中式风格”，确定第二空用in，综上选出正确选项。
【解析】
本题考查介词的固定搭配。1. 第一空：be known for是固定短语，意为“因……而闻名”，be known as意为“作为……而闻名”，根据语境“扬州以中式园林闻名”，此处应用介词for；2. 第二空：“in the + 风格”是固定搭配，“in the Chinese style”表示“中式风格”，此处应用介词in。因此答案为A选项。
【答案】A
【知识点】介词搭配；固定短语
