People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for instance, you would consider octopus a great 【1】.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者的朋友羅伯特邀請作者吃蝸牛，結(jié)果蝸牛從袋子里跑出來爬得滿地都是的搞笑經(jīng)歷。

【1】考查名詞。句意：如果你住在地中海，你會認(rèn)為章魚是一種美味佳肴。此處為“consider +名詞（作賓語） +名詞（作賓補(bǔ)）”結(jié)構(gòu)，此處缺少名詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語，根據(jù)“you would consider octopus a great”可知此處表示“佳肴”，故填D。

【2】考查動詞。句意：另一方面，當(dāng)你想到用動物脂肪煎土豆時，你就會反胃——這在許多北方國家是普遍接受的做法。此處缺少動詞作謂語，根據(jù)“at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat”可知此處表示“翻過來”，引申為“反胃”，故填AE。

【3】考查副詞。句意同上，修飾動詞accepted用副詞，根據(jù)前后的對比關(guān)系可知此處表示“普遍地”，故填C。

【4】考查固定短語。句意：可悲的事實(shí)是，我們大多數(shù)人從小就吃某些食物，而且我們一生都堅持吃。be stick to表示“堅持”，故填AD。

【5】考查動詞。句意：有無數(shù)的人，從小就把蝸牛和食物聯(lián)系在一起。associate… with…表示“把……與……聯(lián)系起來”故填AC。

【6】考查名詞。句意：一場陣雨之后，我在花園里散步，突然注意到許多蝸牛在我心愛的花草上慢騰騰地蠕動著。作介詞after的賓語用名詞，根據(jù)下文說的出現(xiàn)了很多蝸牛可知此處指“陣雨”，故填BC。

【7】考查形容詞。句意同上，此處作定語修飾名詞plants，prize 作形容詞時表示“獲獎的”，此處引申為“心愛的”，故填BD。

【8】考查副詞。句意：羅伯特見到我很高興，對我的小禮物也很滿意。修飾形容詞pleased用形容詞，根據(jù)羅伯特的反應(yīng)可知此處表示“相當(dāng)、非�！保�故填AB。

【9】考查動詞。句意：我不喜歡這個主意，很不情愿地跟著羅伯特走出了房間。此處缺少動詞作謂語，根據(jù)“I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room.”可知此處表示“喜歡”，故填A。

【10】考查名詞。句意：令我們驚愕的是，我們看到到處都是蝸牛：它們從紙袋里逃出來，完全占領(lǐng)了大廳！take possession of表示“占領(lǐng)”，故填E。
