to help ______ rice crop grow up quickly.
分析：故填形容词性物主代词his。
The new boy looked at the teacher __23__ a few seconds ... 分析：a few seconds前是空格， 且a few seconds不作主语或表语，也不作动词的宾语。 表示某个动词或状态延续了多久，用“for ＋时间段”。故此题应填介词for。
3. ... who should have the honour of receiving me ______ a guest in their house. 分析：因为a guest在句中不作主语、表语或动词的宾语，前面一定是填介词，使其成为该介词的宾语；又由句意可知，他们“把我当作客人”来接待，表示“当作”，用介词as。
4.Then he took __25__ off, gave a big smile and said, “That’s cool.”
分析：代替前面的those glasses，作took off的宾语，用人称代词的宾格them。 5.I can send a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and ______ gets there almost in a second.
分析：and连接前后两个句子，and后面的句子缺主语，应填名词或代词；结合前一分句，不难推知，“马上可到达那里”的是the message，替代the message用代词it。
6.__20__ he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. 分析：因为he thought ... 与he was wrong是两个句子，且两者之间没有关联词，必定是填关联词；根据两句之间的逻辑关系，应填表示假设的If“如果”。
7. Nick’s guests, __20__ had heard their conversation, asked why they ... 分析：who引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子。

5
like cleaning up a polluted river. 答案与分析：changes。该词后面的动词是复数形式，因此change用复数形式。
例：
【2015课标I】 Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is ______ (clean) than ever.
答案与分析：cleaner。根据后面比较级的标志词than，这里应该使用比较级。 例：
【2015课标II】In addition to their simple beauty, what makes the adobe dwellings admirable is their ______ (able) to “air condition” a house without using electric equipment.
答案与分析：ability。their后接名词。 例：
【2015课标II】 As ______ (nature) architects, the Pueblo Indians figured out exactly how thick the adobe walls needed to be to make the cycle work on most days.
答案与分析：natural。名词前用形容词修饰。 例：
【2015课标II】 Walls made of adobe take in the heat from the sun on hot days and give out that heat ______ (slow) during cool nights, thus warming the house.
答案与分析：slowly。这里需要副词修饰动词短语give out。 例.
【2014课标I】Just be ______ (patience).
答案与分析：patient。这里应该是形容词作表语。 例：
【2015课标II】 This cycle ______ (go) day after day: The walls warm up during the day and cool off during the night and are thus always a timely offset(抵消) for the outside temperatures.
答案与分析： goes。根据句中的时间状语day after day和后面的句子中使用的时态，可以确定该动词用一般现在时态形式，主语是单数，因此动词用数三人称单数形式。
例：
6
【2015课标I】 It was raining lightly when I ______ (arrive) in Yangshuo just before dawn.
答案与分析：arrived。所给动词arrive前是代词I，这里应该是谓语动词，因为主句的时态是过去时态，因此这里用过去时态。
例：
【2015课标II】 When a new day breaks, the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough ______ (cool) the house during the hot day; at the same time, they warm up again for the night.
答案与分析：to cool。句子“the walls have given up their heat and are now cold enough ______ (cool) the house during the hot day”中的谓语动词have given up和are并列，所给动词前面没有其他连词，cool表示结果，因此用to cool。
例：
【2015课标I】 Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says it regularly arranges quick getaways here for people ______ (live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
答案与分析：living。live与前面的people不能形成主谓关系，又因为live与people的关系是主动关系，因此用现在分词living作定语，修饰中心词people。
例：
【2015课标I】 A study of travelers ______ (conduct) by the website TripAdvisor names Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world.
答案与分析：conducted。因为这个句子里有谓语动词names，所给动词不是names的并列谓语，它与前面名词的关系是被动关系，因此用过去分词作定语。
例：
【2010广东】 He spit it out, ______ (say) it was awful.
答案与分析：saying。在这里 say前没有并列连词，因此可以推断不是并列谓语，是非谓语动词，又因为say与主语he的关系是主动关系，因此用现在分词。
