【答案与解析】
1. A。固定搭配。题中 it 是代 the restaurant。sb / sth be said to…据说某人或某物…。
2. B。词义辨析。speak 除可接表示语言的名词作宾语外，一般作不及物动词，且着重说话的动作过程; say 是及物动词，着重说话的内容。第一空后无宾语，用speak，第二空后有代词 much 作宾语，用 say。
3. B。语境选择。由“他决不会加入我们”可知“你试图劝服他”你是“浪费(waste)”时间。
4. A。语境选择。report(报道); print(印刷); announce(宣布); publish(出版)。
5. B。语境选择。由 good 可知应选连系动词，排除 A 和 D; 躺在阳光下或在凉爽的海水里游泳“感觉(feel)”真好，而非“变得(get)”好。
6. B。词义辨析。由 until 可知，要用延续性动词，排除 A 和 C; 他们“注视(watch)”火车，而不需仔细“观察(observe=watch carefuly)”。
7. C。语境与词义。根据“他们有更好的运动员”可以“预料(expect)”他们会赢，而不是 “更喜欢(prefer)”或 “想要 (want)”他们赢。hope 不可接 sb to do sth。
8. D。词义辨析。模仿前需要“观察(watch)”，而不是“快速地看一下(glance)”或“盯着看(stare)”，更不是“照看(mind)”。
9. D。语境选择。让 Harry 和你玩你的玩具，这是“分享(share)”，而不是“支持(support)”“注意(care)”“抽出(时间)(spare)”。
10. A。搭配与常识。只有 separated 能与 from 连用：get / be separated from 与…分散了。常识：走进人群，我与朋友们不会丢失或抽出，而是分散。
11. D。语境选择。乘客下车时，司机提醒乘客把自己的东西“带走(take)”。
12. D。固定搭配。leave one’s name and address 留下姓名和地址。
13. A。语境选择。matter 要紧、重要。that matters=that is important 是定语从句。
14. A。语境选择。reduce(减少); remove(移开); collect(收集); warn(警告)。
15. C。leave a message 留个口信; take a message for sb 给某人捎个口信。
16. D。习惯搭配。accept 不接不定式; allow=permit 不能直接接不定式，要接 doing 或 sb to do; 只有 agree 后可以接 to do，表示“同意做…”。
17. C。搭配与词义。leave sth to sb 把某事物留给某人。题中 it 是形式宾语，真宾语是 to do?
18. B。搭配与词义。accept
