8、lityChard Dextra解析:只有B项符合语境。quality time表示“(尤指关爱子女、增进感情的)黄金时光”。此题易误选D项,extra time表示“额外的时间”。文章主要讲不要总是太忙碌,应该放慢生活节奏,与亲人度过美好时光。答案:B10A.cakes BgiftsCcalls Dbooks解析:空处与上文中的presentwrapping都应该是前面作者提到的要做的事,此处表示回电话。答案:C11A.depended BheldCcheered Dwaited解析:宾语contestant(选手)是关键,此处是说,作者与父亲一起看电视节目并且为他们最喜爱的选手加油。dep
