【解析】

這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。本文主要報(bào)道了Mrs．Roundy對(duì)中國(guó)廣場(chǎng)舞的感受，Mrs．Roundy過(guò)去跳芭蕾舞，不習(xí)慣中國(guó)的廣場(chǎng)舞，羅迪現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)擁有了足夠的信心在隊(duì)伍中間跳舞，而她有時(shí)還會(huì)展示自己的美國(guó)舞步。除了舞蹈之外，她和丈夫也一直積極參與社區(qū)生活、教英語(yǔ)、幫助年老的鄰居。

【1】考查冠詞。teacher為可數(shù)名詞，在此處表示泛指，且U.S首字母的發(fā)音為輔音音素，所以用不定冠詞a來(lái)修飾teacher。表示“一名美國(guó)退休教師”故填a 。

【2】考查副詞。currently為副詞修飾動(dòng)詞teaching故填 currently。

【3】考查介詞。dance to the tunes of Chinese songs“在中文歌曲的伴奏下跳舞” to為介詞是“伴隨著”的意思。故填to。

【4】考查一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。分析句子可知，本句為一般過(guò)去時(shí)，主語(yǔ)she與謂語(yǔ)invite為被動(dòng)，所以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故填was invited。

【5】考查動(dòng)名詞。by 為介詞后接動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)。故填exchanging。

【6】考查從屬連詞。分析句意可知，盡管對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)語(yǔ)言并不是最困難的事情，但掌握中國(guó)的舞蹈才是最難的。所以本句為While/Although/Though引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。故填While/Although/Though。

【7】考查名詞的復(fù)數(shù)。分析句子可知，賓語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)為“dance”，所以主語(yǔ)為dancers，且dancer為可數(shù)名詞。故填dancers。

【8】考查形容詞。分析句子可知，本句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語(yǔ)為it，所以表語(yǔ)為confusing，以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞主要用于說(shuō)明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征。故填confusing。

【9】考查形容詞。分析句子可知，定語(yǔ)從句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)。分析句意可知，Roundy夫人說(shuō)他們還一起出去吃飯和實(shí)地考察，這對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)是難忘的經(jīng)歷。所以空處應(yīng)填forgettable的反義詞unforgettable。故填unforgettable。

【10】考查動(dòng)詞不定式。分析句子可知，本句為動(dòng)詞不定式作后置定語(yǔ)。故填to understand。

關(guān)于-ing形容詞與-ed形容詞的區(qū)別，比較準(zhǔn)確的表述應(yīng)該是：

1. 以后綴 –ed結(jié)尾的形容詞(如ashamed, delighted, excited, frightened, interested, moved, pleased, surprised, worried等)通常用于說(shuō)明人，不用于說(shuō)明事物，即使它們所修飾的名詞是事物，那它們指的也是與該事物相關(guān)的人。

2. 以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞(如delighting, exciting, frightening, interesting, moving, surprising, worrying 等)主要用于說(shuō)明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征，若用它們說(shuō)明人，則表示此人具有此性質(zhì)或特征。

分析小題8可知，本句為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語(yǔ)為it，所以表語(yǔ)為confusing，以后綴 -ing 結(jié)尾的形容詞主要用于說(shuō)明事物，表示事物的性質(zhì)或特征。故填confusing。
