语篇解读：一位叫艾伦的父亲虽然没有给孩子留下任何物质财产，但留下了他最好的爱。 1．seriously take ...seriously为固定短语，意为“重视……；认真处理……”，此外还可通过分析结构来判断词性，took为动词，应用副词修饰，故填seriously。
2．have been avoided 根据语境及“if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知，本句为虚拟条件句，表示与过去事实相反，从句用过去完成时，主句可用could have done结构，又因为death与avoid之间为被动关系，故填have been avoided。
3．leaving 句中已有谓语left，因此设空处应用非谓语动词；leave的逻辑主语为his wife，两者之间为主动关系，故应用现在分词作结果状语。故填leaving。
4．an alcoholic作名词讲有“酗酒者”之意，且以元音音素开头，故填an。 5．progressed 句意：随着酗酒行为的发展，艾伦失去了他所拥有的一切，最后独自一人死在了一个小酒馆里。根据句意及句子结构可知，as引导时间状语从句，又根据began可知，从句应用一般过去时，故填progressed。
6．What 句末为感叹号，a complete failure为名词性短语，故填What。
7．earlier 根据后文可知，通过艾伦小儿子的话，“我”改变了对艾伦的看法，因此不确切的评价应是“较早时候”作出的，故填earlier。
8．on on earth为固定短语，意为“究竟；到底”，此处表现出作者的好奇。 9．as as意为“当作”，通常出现在see/judge/regard sb.as ...等结构中。
10．possessions 根据空前的material可知，设空处应用名词形式，表示“财产”，possession一般用复数形式，故填possessions。

语篇解读：要美丽，先“冻”人——美国研究人员发现，适度寒冷有助于减肥。这项发现对研究治疗和阻止肥胖症及相关疾病有重要意义。 1．staying 空格处在that引导的宾语从句中作主语，所以要用动名词形式，故填staying。
2．which 分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面一整句话，故用which引导该定语从句。
3．in result in为固定短语，意为“造成，导致”。
4．comfortable 空格处同constant并列，修饰名词temperatures，故用形容词形式，因此填comfortable，意为“使人舒服的，感到舒服的”。
5．are exposed expose ...to ...为固定短语，意为“使……暴露于……”。当该结构中的宾语提前作主语时，要用被动形式be exposed to；此处be的形式应与前面的主语workers一致，且本文主体时态为一般现在时，故填are exposed。
6．compared 此处是when引导的时间状语从句的省略形式，compare与其逻辑主语outdoor workers之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式。完整的从句为when they are compared to ...。
7．One 根据语境可知，有一组老鼠被注射了促进褐色脂肪生长的蛋白质。此处表示“……其中之一”，故填One。
8．lower than是比较级的标志词，故填lower。
9．prevention 空格处与treatment并列，且前有定冠词the限定，后有介词of，所以要用prevent的名词形式，故填prevention。
10．possibly 空格处修饰动词lose，要用副词，故填possibly。 Ⅱ.短文改错
