　　選詞填空專項(xiàng)訓(xùn)練答案解析：

　　1. 【答案】 M

　　【精析】 動(dòng)詞辨析題。空格位于從句的主語(yǔ) assignments和賓語(yǔ)it之間，因此需要一個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞作謂語(yǔ)。選項(xiàng)中的另三個(gè)動(dòng)詞 D)enhance"推動(dòng)";G)hinder"阻礙"和O)urge"敦促"，均不符合句意。

　　2. 【答案】 I

　　【精析】 形容詞辨析題。空格處為連詞and連接的兩個(gè)并列成分之一。根據(jù)and之后的difficult可以判斷，此處需要一個(gè)與difficult同義或近義的 形容詞。選項(xiàng)中其他形容詞A)closer"更近的";B)daily "每天的";C)emotional "感情的";E)enormous"巨大的";N)sensitive"敏感的"，均不符合句意， 故排除。

　　3. 【答案】 F

　　【精析】 副詞辨析題。空格處缺少副詞。前半部分提到language，空格之后的English為語(yǔ)言的一種，因而此處的意思是：英語(yǔ)尤其如此。選項(xiàng)中另一個(gè)副詞L)remarkably"不同尋常地"，不符合句意，故排除。

　　4. 【答案】 E

　　【精析】 形容詞辨析題。空格位于不定冠詞an與名詞mansion之間，顯然需要一個(gè)形容詞，而且需要以元音字母開頭。選項(xiàng)中不是元音開頭的形容詞可以全部排除，而另外一個(gè)以元音開頭的形容詞C)emotional"感情的"，不符合句意，故排除。

　　5. 【答案】 H

　　【精析】 名詞辨析題。空格位于形容詞性物主代詞my和系動(dòng)詞is之間，需要一個(gè)名詞作賓語(yǔ)從句的主語(yǔ)。而且根據(jù)句意，此處的名詞意思應(yīng)為"工作"或者"任務(wù)"。選 項(xiàng)中另外兩個(gè)名詞 J)performance"表現(xiàn)"和K)profession"職業(yè)"，都可以與 my搭配，但不符合句意，故排除。

　　6. 【答案】 D

　　【精析】 動(dòng)詞辨析題。空格前出現(xiàn)動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào)to，此處需要一個(gè)動(dòng)詞原形，而且要與后面的development搭配。G)hinder可與development搭配，但與句意相反，需要排除;O)urge不能與development搭配，所以排除。

　　7. 【答案】 B

　　【精析】 副詞辨析題。本句句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整，所以此處缺少修飾成分。根據(jù)上下文推斷，需要表示"每天"的副詞做狀語(yǔ)， 因此可以直接選定答案。

　　8. 【答案】 J

　　【精析】 名詞辨析題。空格位于連詞and之后，根據(jù)and前面的成分判斷，此處需要一個(gè)名詞J)performane"表現(xiàn)"。選項(xiàng)中另外兩個(gè)名詞 H)mission"任務(wù)"和K)profession"職業(yè)"，均不符合句意，所以排除。

　　9. 【答案】 C

　　【精析】 形容詞辨析題。空格缺少形容詞與academic, political 作并列成分，共同修飾后面的名詞lives。根據(jù)下文一一對(duì)應(yīng)的舉例，此處的形容詞應(yīng)與love letter 對(duì)應(yīng)，可直接選定答案。

　　10. 【答案】 A

　　【精析】 形容詞辨析題。空格
