6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______
答案：
文章大意：作者一家遇到一只被抛弃的狗，开始作者的妈妈不想管它，因为他们家养不起。但后来她还是把那条可怜的狗领回了家，作者也不知道为什么妈妈会改变主意。
1.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，________drove my poor mother crazy为非限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语，关系词指代前面所说的内容，故用which。
2.Looking 考查非谓语动词。设空处在句中作伴随状语，且与主语my mother之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。
3.were told 考查动词时态和语态。主语we与动词tell之间存在着被动关系，且动作发生在过去，故使用一般过去时的被动语态。
4.extremely 考查词性转换。修饰形容词upset应使用extreme的副词形式extremely。
5.of 考查动词搭配。take care of为固定搭配，意为“照顾……”。
6.The 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的被抛弃的狗，故用定冠词。
7.gone 考查词性转换。句意为：我找了每一间屋子，但是她不见了。设空处位于was之后，应用形容词作表语，gone意为“消失的，离去的”，符合语境。
8.coming 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语动词saw，且逻辑主语my mother与动词come之间存在着逻辑上的主动关系，see sb. doing sth.表示“看见某人正在做某事”，故填coming。
9.to greet 考查非谓语动词。此处不定式表目的。
10.had changed 考查动词时态。根据语境可知，此处指妈妈在回来之前改变了主意，即“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
四、短文改错

答案：
When I was a child, I spent more than ten years the violin. ， I couldn't understand “real music ”. After I graduated high school, a friend of mine suggested that we to learn the guitar because we thought it was cool. I will never forget the day on we went to buy guitars in a guitar store. There I saw a guitar player playing the guitar, which I really enjoyed. He became my the first guitar teacher. It took me such a long time choose a guitar among several wonderful . Now the guitar is the most part of my life and I practice it every day.
解析：
第一处：learn→learning spend some time(in) doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”，为固定搭配。
第二处：Therefore→However 前一句讲“我”花费十年多的时间来学习拉小提琴，后一句讲我“不能理解真正的音乐”，前后为转折关系，故应用However。
第三处：at→from 表示“从……毕业”应用graduate from。
第四处：started→start suggest作“建议”讲时，其后宾语从句的谓语应为should do，should可以省略，因此应将动词过去式改为原形。
第五处：all→both 此处讲“我”和“我”的一位朋友都认为吉他很酷，表示“两者都”应用both。
第六处：that→which 此处先行词为the day，关系词在定语从句中作时间状语，故用关系副词when引导，相当于“介词+which”，此处应为on which，故将that改为which。
第七处：删除the 形容词性物主代词my后面不能用定冠词the。
第八处：在choose前加to It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事需要花费某人……时间”，it为形式主语，动词不定式短语作真正的主语。
第九处：model→models several后面接名词复数形式。
第十处：importantly→important 修饰名词part应该用形容词形式important。
