    【答案與解析】
    1. A。該題用語法分析法和習語搭配法。從空格后面的介詞at和四個選項都是動詞，可推知該題考查“不及物動詞 + 介詞”構成短語動詞的用法。see, watch, count 都是及物動詞，后面接賓語時不需要加介詞，從這一方面來考慮，只有l(wèi)ook符合要求。look at 是個固定詞組，意思是“看……”，從固定搭配來考慮，立馬就能鎖定正確選項。
    2. C。根據上下句提供的語境，采用語境推測法能確定正確選項?！坝^測星星”、“看星星看得更清楚”，只有使用望遠鏡(telescope)才行。
    3. D。表示“對……感興趣”，要用be interested in。在英語中，這種表達方法屬固定搭配。
    4. B。該題用語境推測法和分析比較法。從四個選項來看該題測試連詞的用法。上句 “想要發(fā)現一顆新彗星”和本句“一夜又一夜搜索天空”之間是原因和結果的關系，需要用表示因果關系的連詞來連接。or表示選擇關系，and表示并列關系，but表示轉折關系，so才表示因果關系。
    5. D。該題測試頻度副詞的用法。根據上句“白天上學，放學后做所有家庭作業(yè)，夜里搜索彗星”和下句“從不去劇院”，可推知本句的意思是“從不出席社交聚會”。
    6. A。從下文中的“不介意別人說什么”，可以推測出這里指的不是讓人聽起來順耳的好話，由此可推知答案選 A。nervous 在此的意思是“神經的”。
    7. D。根據下文“要找到一顆新彗星”，可推知不是觀察已經被人們發(fā)現的太陽、月亮和火星，而是“天空”。
    8. A。句意為“愿望變成了現實”。come true 是個固定詞組，意思是“實現，達到”。
    9. B。該題測試復合不定代詞的用法。根據下句“看起來像個星星，但慢慢在移動”可以推斷 “她看到了一個東西”。在這四個復合不定代詞中，只有 something 是“某物”的意思。
    10. D。該題測試動詞的時態(tài)，要用語法分析法。Maria Mitchell是個歷史人物，她發(fā)現彗星是在過去某個時間之前，因此，要用過去完成時。
