解析:
1.考查非谓语动词。
spendtime(in)doingsth.花费时间做某事。
2.考查介词。
此处表示目的,故用介词for。
3.考查固定搭配。
beknownfor因……而出名。
4.考查冠词。
此处表示特指,应用定冠词the。
5.考查名词复数。
gallery为可数名词,此处与churches和museums并列,故应用复数形式。
6.考查动词的时态。
此处与flew并列作谓语,因此应用一般过去时。
7.考查形容词的最高级。
此处指一生中最快乐的时光,因此应用最高级形式。
8.考查动词的时态。
句意:
洪水已经退去,但是对农作物和房屋造成的破坏很严重。
thedamagetocropsandhomeswasterrible用的是一般过去时,而"洪水退去"发生在前面,因此表示"过去的过去",应用过去完成时。
9.考查副词。
修饰形容词interested应用副词。
10.考查定语从句。
先行词为Japan,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,故应用关系副词where。
