　　【知识点】

　　1. afford 后常接动词的不定式，所以应该选B："to pay".

　　3. 此处只能选择一个不及物动词作答案

　　4. 句子的意思为："他没有什么地方去因为与别人相处不好"

　　__ everywhere：每处

　　__ anywhere：无论何处

　　__ somewhere：某处

　　__ 所以，只有nowhere符合题意。

　　5. odd、strange均为"奇特的"，shocked意为"惊讶的"，curious既有"奇特的"，还有"好奇的"意思。

　　6. better和improve均有"提高"、"改善"之意，better主要指改善地位或经济状况;improve指提高文化水平。

　　8. astonish后接动词时常用不定式。be astonished at 对……很惊讶

　　10. settle down 定居;

　　__ settle in 在新居安定下来;

　　__ settle for 勉强认可;

　　__ settle on 选定，决定。
