Yang Ming has bid his furnished apartment goodbye after complaints from his neighbours. 1 (be)a bachelor, Yang Ming held parties every night but the biggest problem was his late-night drumming.
Seldom has drumming caused such conflict. Yang Ming’s 2 (neighbour)say they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise. 3 (have)they known their neighbour was a drummer, they wouldn’t have moved into the building. No sooner had they moved in 4 the noise began and rarely did they get a full night’s sleep. One neighbour also claims that Yang Ming is 5 alcoholic and was a bad influence on his adolescent son.
In the end, the local council took action. “It was only after 6 (care)consideration that we gave Yang Ming a warning,” a council member said. “Getting enough sleep 7 (be)important for people’s health.”
Yang Ming hates being called an alcoholic, but it is the fact 8 people have classified his music 9 “noise” that upsets him most. Otherwise he doesn’t 10 (real)mind leaving his apartment. “Living in a hotel means a maid makes my bed and I don’t have to do my own laundry!” But how long will the hotel tolerate him? We wonder.

6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
答案
1.Being 此处为现在分词短语作状语。
2.neighbours 根据say可知,空格处填复数名词作主语。
3.Had 该句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,从句谓语用“had done”;此处省略了if,had提到主语之前,形成了倒装。
4.than 此处为常用句式“No sooner...than...”,意为“一……就……”。
5.an alcoholic为可数名词,在句中表示泛指,故填不定冠词an。
6.careful 空格处用于修饰名词,结合语境可知,要填形容词形成careful。
7.is 动名词短语作主语,谓语用单数,结合语境可知,is符合题意。
8.that fact后接的是同位语从句,从句不缺少成分,且句意完整,故填that。
9.as classify...as为动词短语,意为“把……归类为”。
10.really 空格处修饰动词,故填提示词的副词形式。
