解析:
本题结合七年级下册核心语法和固定短语逐空分析:
1. 句中出现时间标志词now,表示此刻正在发生的动作,要用现在进行时,结构为"am/is/are + 动词现在分词",主语是I,因此填am writing。
2. 空格前的very是副词,副词需修饰形容词,名词beauty要变为形容词形式beautiful,和small并列作表语,意为“美观的”。
3. 固定搭配of one's own表示“属于某人自己的”,人称代词I要变为对应的形容词性物主代词my。
4. 固定短语do some reading表示“阅读”,动词read要变为动名词形式reading。
5. 此处表达“为全家人准备饭菜”,介词for可引出动作的对象,表“为、给”的含义,因此填for。
6. there be句型遵循就近原则,紧挨be动词的名词food是不可数名词,全文时态为一般现在时,因此be动词填is。
7. 此处特指前文已经提到过的那套公寓,要用定冠词the修饰flat。
8. 固定短语living room表示“起居室、客厅”,动词live要变为动名词形式living作定语。
9. 固定搭配enjoy doing sth. 表示“喜欢做某事”,动词sit要变为动名词sitting。
10. 固定搭配be different from表示“和……不同”,因此填介词from。
