1.D

点睛：完形填空是一种旨在考查学生语法和词汇知识综合运用能力的典型题型。它结合了单项选择题和短文填空的优点，既考查词语搭配、近义词辨析、动词时态、句型结构、复合句的关联和习惯用法等，又考查了逻辑推理和事理推断能力。如第6小题实际上是考查alone与lonely的辨析，alone只是陈述一个客观事实，意思是“独自一人”、“没有同伴或助手”，只用作表语。有时放在名词或代词后，表示“仅仅”、“只有”，可作形容词。另外，alone 可用作副词，表示“独自地”、“单独地”；lonely 则有浓厚的感情色调，指因缺少朋友、同情、友谊时所发生的一种悲伤的和忧郁的感情，意思是“孤独”、“寂寞”，作形容词。另外，第10小题是考查一般现在时态的被动语态，学生很容易出错。
