20、tars,10 (listen)to musicians and meeting interesting locals.参考答案：1.so考查副词。so.that.为固定搭配,意为“如此以至于”。2.to get考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型it takes some time to do sth.。3.of考查介词。a pack of为固定短语,意为“一群”。4.who考查定语从句。先行词masters指人,并且引导词在从句中做主语。因此用关系代词who。5.recommended考查动词的时态。此句为and连接的并列句,前后时态一致,故用一般过去时态。petition考查名词。所填的词由冠词an修饰,故用compete的名词形式。7.traditional考查形容词。空格后为名词stories,应用形容词来修饰。8.hugely考查副词。所填的词修饰形容词popular,故用副词形式。9.were invited考查动词的时态和语态。句中时间状语为On the last day of our week-long stay,又因为主语we与所给动词invite之间为被动关系,故用一般过去时态的被动形式。10.listening考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,此处做伴随状语;另外,所填的词与下文的meeting为并列关系,故用动词-ing形式。
