1.attraction [考查名词的用法。空格前有形容词和物主代词,因此要用其名词形式。]
2.was allowed [考查动词时态。根据语境及allow sb to do sth这一固定句式可知,此处要用一般过去时的被动语态形式。]
3.officially [考查副词的用法。修饰谓语动词应当用副词形式。]
4.to [考查固定短语。go back to为固定短语,意思是“回到,追溯到”。]
5.when [考查副词的用法。由句子结构可以判断这是一个定语从句,先行词是表示时间的in the mid-1980s,从句中缺少状语,因此填写关系副词when。]
6.permitted [考查定语从句关系副词的用法。因为句中已有谓语动词was,故此处要用非谓语动词形式。因permit与reporter为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词。]
7.introducing [考查动名词的用法。由句子结构可知,introduce作谓语动词include的宾语。而British visitors是introduce这一动作的承受者。故用动名词形式。]
8.its [考查物主代词的用法。根据空格后的名词及前文中的a lively three-month-old twin可知要用形容词性物主代词。]
9.days [考查名词复数。few用来修饰可数名词复数,故答案为days。]
10.the [考查固定搭配中冠词的用法。由前文中的关键词twin, one可知这里考查one...the other...(一个……另一个……)的用法。故答案为the。]
