A lady, who found it not easy to wake up early, bought an alarm clock. These clocks are so made as 1.(strike) with a loud noise at any hour the owner pleases to set them. The alarm clock 2.(perfect) did its duty, and went off at the right time. She 3.(rise)at once, and felt better all day for it. 4., after a time, the lady grew tired of early rising. When she 5.(wake)up by the noise, she merely turned over in bed and slept again. In a few days, the clock spoke just as loudly as ever, but she didn't hear 6.because she had been in the habit of not obeying it, 7.(find)that she might as well be without it, she was determined that when she heard the sound she would jump up.
So it is 8.conscience. If we will obey its voice, even in the smallest things, we can always hear it, clear and strong. But if we allow ourselves to do 9.we fear or may not be right, we shall grow more and more 10.(sleep)until the voice of conscience has no longer the power to wake us.

【答案及解析】
1. to strike.考查固定搭配.句意:這些鬧鐘做得很好,只要主人願意,隨時都能發出很大的聲響.so…as to do…意為"如此……以至於做某事",動詞應用不定式,故填to strike.
2. perfectly.考查副詞.句意:鬧鐘完美地完成了它的職責.根據空後的動詞did可知,應用副詞修飾動詞,故填perfectly.
3. rose.考查時態.本篇文章介紹的過去的事情所以用一般過去時,此處rise是謂語動詞也是一般過去時態,rise應用過去式rose,故填rose.
4. However.考查副詞.前文提到"felt better all day",但後文又提到"the lady grew tired of early rising.",此處應表示句子關係的轉折,故填However.
5. was woken.考查被動語態和時態.句意:當她被響聲叫醒時,動詞短語wake up與句子主語she是被動關係,文章又是一般過去時,所以是一般過去時的被動語態,故填was woken.
6. it.考查代詞.設空處指代前文提到的鬧鐘聲音,故填代詞it.
7. Finding.考查非謂語動詞.句意:她發現沒有它也無妨,決定一聽到聲音就跳起來.此處非謂語動詞作狀語,與邏輯主語she構成主動關係,因此用現在分詞形式,故填Finding.
8. with.考查介詞搭配.So it is with…=So it is the same with…,意為"……也是如此,這樣", 故填with.
9. what.考查賓語從句.句意:但是如果我們允許自己去做我們害怕的事情,我們會變得越來越困.賓語從句中缺少賓語成分,並指代內容時,用連接詞what,故填what.
10. sleepy.考查形容詞.本句"grow more and more"後加形容詞作表語,意為"變得越來越……",故填sleepy.
