解答 1．of 考查介詞短語．regardless of"不管，不顧"，此處句意為"不管天氣怎樣，他都堅持上班"，因此填of．
2．It 考查代詞．此處it為形式主語，it take sb．+時間+to do sth為固定句型．
3．success 考查名詞．根據(jù)前面of可知后面應填名詞形式success．
4．stepped 考查時態(tài)．根據(jù)后面complained可知此處敘述的是過去的事，因此用一般過去時．
5．finding 考查非謂語動詞．suggest 后面跟動名詞形式．此處me是finding的邏輯主語．
6．what 考查從句 what引導賓語從句，在從句中作介詞about的賓語
7．harder 考查形容詞比較級．根據(jù)后面可知此處應用比較級．
8．probably考查副詞．此處用來修飾動詞become
9．who 考查定語從句．who指人，在從句中做主語．
10．to go考查不定式．此處是固定用法，be+adj+to do．
