1.projects 解析:考查名词的数。该空前有“three”修饰,因此应用project的复数形式。
2.needed 解析:考查动词的时态。此处陈述的是发生在过去的事,应用一般过去时。
3.across 解析:考查固定搭配。come across表示“偶然遇见”。
4.who 解析:考查定语从句。此句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“an old family friend Dan”,指人,且在定语从句中作主语,因此只能用who。
5.It 解析:考查强调句型。本句为强调句it is/was...that...。
6.to give 解析:考查动词的固定用法。动词want后接动词不定式,表示“想做某事”。
7.fighting 解析:考查动词词组。go on doing表示继续做同一件事;go on to do表示继续做不同的事。
8.a 解析:考查冠词。have a wonderful life表示“有一个精彩的生活”。
9.and 解析:考查固定句型。此处是“祈使句+and/or+简单句”的结构,根据上下文可知,此处应用and。
