【8】confusing

【9】unforgettable

【解析】

這是一篇新聞報道。本文主要報道了Mrs．Roundy對中國廣場舞的感受，Mrs．Roundy過去跳芭蕾舞，不習(xí)慣中國的廣場舞，羅迪現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)擁有了足夠的信心在隊伍中間跳舞，而她有時還會展示自己的美國舞步。除了舞蹈之外，她和丈夫也一直積極參與社區(qū)生活、教英語、幫助年老的鄰居。

【1】考查冠詞。teacher為可數(shù)名詞，在此處表示泛指，且U.S首字母的發(fā)音為輔音音素，所以用不定冠詞a來修飾teacher。表示“一名美國退休教師”故填a 。

【2】考查副詞。currently為副詞修飾動詞teaching故填 currently。

【3】考查介詞。dance to the tunes of Chinese songs“在中文歌曲的伴奏下跳舞” to為介詞是“伴隨著”的意思。故填to。

【4】考查一般過去時的被動語態(tài)。分析句子可知，本句為一般過去時，主語she與謂語invite為被動，所以用一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)。故填was invited。

【5】考查動名詞。by 為介詞后接動名詞作賓語。故填exchanging。

【6】考查從屬連詞。分析句意可知，盡管對她來說語言并不是最困難的事情，但掌握中國的舞蹈才是最難的。所以本句為While/Although/Though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。故填While/Although/Though。

【7】考查名詞的復(fù)數(shù)。分析句子可知，賓語從句的謂語為“dance”，所以主語為dancers，且dancer為可數(shù)名詞。故填dancers。

【8】考查形容詞。分析句子可知，本句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語為it，所以表語為confusing，以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞主要用于說明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征。故填confusing。

【9】考查形容詞。分析句子可知，定語從句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)。分析句意可知，Roundy夫人說他們還一起出去吃飯和實地考察，這對她來說是難忘的經(jīng)歷。所以空處應(yīng)填forgettable的反義詞unforgettable。故填unforgettable。

【10】考查動詞不定式。分析句子可知，本句為動詞不定式作后置定語。故填to understand。

關(guān)于-ing形容詞與-ed形容詞的區(qū)別，比較準確的表述應(yīng)該是：

1. 以后綴 –ed結(jié)尾的形容詞(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于說明人，不用于說明事物，即使它們所修飾的名詞是事物，那它們指的也是與該事物相關(guān)的人。

2. 以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)主要用于說明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征，若用它們說明人，則表示此人具有此性質(zhì)或特征。

分析小題8可知，本句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語為it，所以表語為confusing，以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞主要用于說明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征。故填confusing。
