104、冠词。前面提到Start out at that end,这里说“在另一头”,判断应该是the other end。6learned解析:考查时态。根据语境应该用一般过去时,因此用learned。7willing解析:考查形容词。表示“愿意做某事”用be willing to do sth.。8but解析:考查连词。前后两个分句之间是转折关系,所以用but。9is解析:考查系动词。分析句子结构可知,主语是the only thing,此处填is构成主系表结构。10satisfaction解析:考查名词。and连接的是两个并列成分,因为happiness是名词,所以此处也应该用名词,即satisfaction。
