【解析】

1.考查形容词。 Nancy第一天上班，又到得很早，自然是非常“兴奋”。

2.考查动词。门是被“推”开的。turn, knock后面不接形容词作宾语补足语，而force表示用暴力强行推开。

3.考查连词。此处要选定语从句的引导词，先行词是desk，后面意义完整，应缺少状语，故用where。

4.考查形容词。结合后面的“that every Monday morning a bunch of fresh flowers should be sent to each secretary's desk.” 可知花是新鲜的fresh。

5.考查动词短语。文中紧接着说她要把花放进去，她是在环顾四周（looked around ）找花瓶

6.考查副词。此处very用于形容词最高级或first,last,opposite,own等之前，加强语气，意思是：正是;恰好是。

7.考查副词。因为有人送花，心里高兴，时间自然过得快。
