1.1.

A

B

C

D

解析：选living。living 考查非谓语。句中已有谓语动词“moved”，再出现动词“live”需要用非谓语形式；主语“the family”与“live”之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词living表示伴随情况。故填living。

2.2.

A

B

C

D

解析：选isolated。isolated 考查非谓语。结构为“leave + 宾语 + 宾补”，此处“her”和“isolate”之间为被动关系，表示“她被与其他孩子隔离开的状态”。 故填isolated。

3.3.

A

B

C

D

解析：选was fed。was fed 考查时态和语态。主语“her imagination”与“feed”之间是被动关系（被父亲读的书所滋养），由上下文可知动作发生在过去，且主语为单数，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was fed。

4.4.

A

B

C

D

解析：选drawing。drawing 考查固定搭配。“spend + 一段时间 + (in) doing sth.”表示“花费时间做某事”，其中介词in可以省略，动词用-ing形式。故填drawing。

5.5.

A

B

C

D

解析：选a。a 考查冠词。此处“passion”为可数名词单数，意为“一种热情”，属泛指，且发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词。故填a。

6.6.

A

B

C

D

解析：选where。where 考查定语从句。先行词为“Cardiff School of Art”，表示地点，在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语，意为“在那里”，用关系副词where。故填where。

7.7.

A

B

C

D

解析：选different。different 考查词形转换。修饰名词“way”需要用形容词，括号中所给“differ”是动词，其形容词形式为different，表示“不同的”，构成短语“in a different way”。故填different。

8.8.

A

B

C

D

解析：选as。as 考查介词。“work as + 职业”意为“担任……工作”，此处表示“她担任美术老师”。故填as。

9.9.

A

B

C

D

解析：选unexpectedly。unexpectedly 考查副词及否定前缀。修饰动词“died”需用副词；根据上下文可知丈夫在63岁去世是“出乎意料地”，需要在expected前加否定前缀un-，再加副词后缀-ly，构成unexpectedly。

10.10.

A

B

C

D

解析：选without。without 考查介词。根据句意“我认为没有他我活不下去”，表示“没有”应用介词without，符合上下文表达的情感。故填without。
