解析:
【分析】先通读短文把握主旨,再结合时态、固定搭配、词性转换、比较级/最高级、连词等语法知识,逐空分析:1. 根据时间状语twenty years ago用一般过去时;2. 固定搭配introduce oneself;3. 由than判断用比较级;4. such的固定结构such+a+adj+可数名词单数;5. 需形容词与其他形容词并列;6. 修饰动词用副词;7. 固定搭配spend time doing;8. 前后因果关系用连词;9. 并列动词用原形;10. 结合语境用形容词最高级。
【解析】1. 由时间状语twenty years ago可知,此处用一般过去时,teach的过去式为taught;2. introduce oneself是固定搭配,意为“自我介绍”,故填反身代词herself;3. 句中than提示用比较级,much的比较级是more;4. such+a+形容词+可数名词单数是固定结构,good以辅音音素开头,故填a;5. 此处需形容词作表语,与generous、kind-hearted并列,humour的形容词形式是humorous;6. 修饰动词短语made up需用副词,quick的副词是quickly;7. spend time (in) doing sth是固定搭配,故填talking;8. 前后句为因果关系,前果后因,故填连词because;9. 与前面的send并列,主语是we,一般现在时,故用动词原形make;10. 结合语境“拥有这样的朋友是我最幸运的事”,用形容词最高级luckiest。
【答案】1. taught 2. herself 3. more 4. a 5. humorous 6. quickly 7. talking 8. because 9. make 10. luckiest
