【解析】本题考查考生对动词词组词义的辨析及动词时态的分析。通过分析句子，选出对应答案即可。

1.考查动词词组。“He was_____________when he heard about his failure in the exam”，cast down为固定短语，“沮丧、失望”的意思。故填cast down。

2.考查形容词。根据“I am_____________what you said because it is quite reasonable”，横线前为谓语动词，横线后为由what引导的宾语从句，所以横线处应填写形容词与am构成系表结构，根据quite reasonable，故填 in favor of（支持）。

3.考查动词。“Our club plans to _____________20 new members”，plan to do sth. 所以横线处应填写动词词组，结合语境，应填写take in（吸收、接纳）。故填take in。

4.考查动词词组。根据can’t可知，横线处应填写动词，再结合语境“如果你不能适应这里的生活，那你必须回国。”，故填fit in。

5.考查动词词组。“Since he _____________work now, you’d better talk with him later”，分析该句，可知前半句缺少谓语，结合语境，他现在正在忙着工作，你最好待会再和他说，he _____________work, he与work之间可以采用主动形式，也可以采用被动语态，根据题目所给词组，此处应用被动语态。故填is occupied with。

【名师点睛】做这类题型时，要结合题目所给的选项，要清楚每个选项的意思，这也是间接的考查了考生对词组及词义的记忆。结合题目所给选项，准确理解句意和准确把握句子时态的基础上就可以准确的进行答案的选择。例如第5题：Since he _____________work now, you’d better talk with him later，根据now可知此句用现在时，再根据 he _____________work，以及题目所给选项可推知，he与work之间是被动关系，故填is occupied with。
