My friend Henry, with him I studied in the same class, didn’t like studying at school. That’s because he couldn’t go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn’t do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I accepted an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation in his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述了一个好朋友学习不好没上高中，但学修车成功的故事。告诉我们条条大路通罗马。

1.him →whom.考查定语从句。先行词是Henry，在定语从句中做宾语用whom，此处是介词加whom结构，故him →whom.

2.because → why.考查副词。句意：这就是他上不了高中的原因。That is why…“那就是……的原因”，That is because“那是因为……”，根据句意because → why.

3.去掉back.考查动词词意。return本身就是“返回”后面不用加back，故去掉back.

4.our → their.考查代词。句意：父亲希望他在家乡学着经营他们家的小商店。根据句意用“他们的”，故our → their.

5.interesting → interested.考查形容词。interesting“有趣的”主语是物；interested“感兴趣的”主语是人。此处主语是人，故interesting → interested.

6.spends → spent.考查时态。全文在叙述过去发生的一件事，用过去时。故spends → spent.

7.accepted → received.考查动词辨析。receive“收到”指客观事实； accept“接受”指主观意愿。此处指上月我收到了一封电子邮件。故accepted → received.

8.take前加to.考查不定式。invite sb. to do sth.“邀请某人做某事”。用不定式。故take前加to.

9.such → so. 考查近义词辨析。so修饰 形容词∕副词；such后加形容词∕副词再加名词。此处修饰形容词successful，“如此成功”用so，故such → so.

10.road → roads .考查名词。句意：条条大路通罗马。用all修饰名词用复数形式，故road → roads .
