这是一段对话。对话围绕Jack的两个孩子的学习情况展开，一个爱学习，一个爱玩。
1．studying [考查非谓语动词。固定短语stop doing sth.“停止做某事”，符合语境。]
2．to be [考查固定短语。be likely to do sth.为固定短语。]
3．has been working [考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“every evening for months on end recently”可知，此处应用现在完成进行时，表示某一动作从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在或离现在不远的时间，故用has been working。]
4．attend/enter [考查动词短语。表示“上大学”可以用动词attend或enter。]
5．himself [考查反身代词。句意：或许将来他自己会成为一位大学教授。此处用反身代词himself表示“他自己”。]
6．But [考查连词。根据语境可知，此处应用转折连词But。]
7．for [考查介词。句意：但是有时候“我”希望他能出去玩得开心，改变一下。for a change意为“改变一下”，为固定短语，符合语境。]
8．rarely [考查副词。句意：Mark的老师说他有能力，但是他很少尽他最大的努力。此处用副词rarely“很少”修饰动词。]
9．rushes [考查动词的时态。句意：他每天花十分钟做他的家庭作业，然后冲出去踢足球。此处and连接两个并列谓语动词does和rushes。]
10．what [考查宾语从句。句意：或许你现在可以和他谈谈，弄清楚他对于学习和未来是如何想的。分析句子成分可知，在该宾语从句中，thinking缺少宾语，故填what。]

本文为艾丽斯和彼得之间的对话。主要讲述了彼得如何帮助一位困在山崖上的孩子脱险的故事。
1．was walking [考查动词的时态。根据本句中的when可判断本句考查“be doing sth.when...”句型。设空处表示过去正在进行的动作，故用过去进行时。句意：我正独自在海滩上散步，这时我听到有人在大喊救命。]
2．calling [考查非谓语动词。宾语someone与call之间为逻辑上的主动关系且表示正在进行，故用现在分词作宾补。]
3．any [考查固定搭配。句意：他看上去好像随时都可能掉下来。at any moment“随时”。]
4．slipped [考查动词的时态。本文在讲过去的经历，故本空用一般过去时。]
5．it [考查代词。本句中to climb up there alone为真正的主语，故用it作形式主语。]
6．should have got [考查情态动词。此处表示过去本该首先求助，故用should have got。]
7．However [考查副词。前后两句为转折关系，而设空处所在句子与上句之间被句点隔开，故本空需用副词，故答案为However。]
8．a [考查冠词。设空处后的crowd为可数名词，在本句中表泛指，故与不定冠词连用。]
9．later [考查副词。“一段时间＋later”表示一段时间之后。]
10．were rescued [考查动词的时态语态。we与rescue之间为被动关系，句子又表示过去的经历，故用一般过去时的被动语态形式。]

苏珊正为给同事买圣诞礼物而头疼，这时蒂姆给了她一些建议。
1．who [考查定语从句。先行词为those，关系词在定语从句中作主语，且指“人”，故用who引导。]
2．a [考查冠词。句意：……但那真是件令人头疼的事情。此处表泛指，故填不定冠词。]
3．dividing [考查非谓语动词。设空处作consider的宾语，consider doing sth.“考虑做某事”，故填dividing。]
4．but [考查连词。句意：……哪些是你不是很熟悉但每天频繁见面的人们。由此可见前后两部分为转折关系，故用but连接。]
5．what [考查疑问代词。句意：好的。然后我该做什么呢？根据上下文逻辑可知设空处用what(什么)。]
6．them [考查代词。buy后常加双宾语，故此处用them代替前面提到的friends。]
7．on [考查介词。on a diet为固定短语，意为：在节食。]
8．healthy [考查形容词。keep healthy“保持健康”。形容词healthy作系动词keep的表语。]
9．importantly [考查副词。“more importantly”常用于句首，用来修饰整个句子，意为：更重要的是。]
10．have helped [考查动词的时态。既然蒂姆给了苏珊很好的建议，因此可推断出蒂姆已经帮助苏珊摆脱了困境，故设空处用现在完成时态。]
