【回答】

1．at　考查固定搭配。at lunch“吃午餐”，符合語境。

2．seriously　考查詞*轉換。此空需要填寫一個副詞來修飾動詞take，故填serious的副詞形式seriously。take sth. seriously“認真對待某事。”

3．consumed　考查非謂語動詞。此處snack與consume之間是被動關係，所以要用過去分詞作後置定語。

4．a　考查冠詞。此空表泛指，説的是“去開會的路上”，用不定冠詞a。

5．covering　考查非謂語動詞。cover與其邏輯主語是主動關係，所以空處用現在分詞作伴隨狀語。

6．of　考查介詞。空後跟的是名詞，故because後需加of，表示“因為，由於”。

7．preparation　考查詞*轉換。in preparation for為固定短語，意為“為……作準備”，故此處應填preparation。

8．but　考查連詞。前後句之間是轉折關係，故用轉折連詞but。

9．where　考查關係詞。空處引導一個定語從句，先行詞是gathering，且關係詞在從句中作地點狀語，所以要用where。

10．healthiest　考查形容詞的最高級。由空前的one of可知，此空需要填寫形容詞的最高級形式。故填healthiest。
