【解析】本大题是用所给词组的正确形式填空。这种题型旨在考察学生在具体的语境中综合运用英语的能力。既要根据句意找出适当的词组，又要根据具体的语境用所填词组的正确的时态与语态。因此要分析句子成份，知道所填词组在句子中的所作的成分。

1.grown accustomed to

考查固定短语。句意：由于习惯于权威，许多美国人现在发现中国的繁荣令人担忧。本空要用现在完成时。grow accustomed to…变得习惯于……。

2.adjusting to

考查现在进行时。句意：一些学生在暑假过了很长时间后仍在适应回到学校。adjust to…“调整，调节”。根据前面的are可知要用现在进行时。故用adjusting to。

3.permitted to do

考查被动语态。句意：她清楚地列出了不允许她的女儿索菲亚和路易莎做的事。permit sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事。sb. be permitted to do sth.某人被允许做某事。故要用被动语态。

4.have nothing in common

考查固定短语。句意：真奇怪，他们竟然是这么好的朋友，尤其是当他们没有共同之处时。have nothing in common with…与……没有共同点。

5.(1) am; (2) familiar with

考查时态和固定搭配。句意：我是新来的，我不熟悉这所学校的规章制度。be familiar with…对……熟悉。从I am new 可判断出用一般现在时。故第一个空是am。

6.take off

考查固定词组。句意：我回来时，他让我脱下湿鞋坐在炉火旁。take off脱下。ask sb. to do sth.要求某人做某事，故要用动词原形。

7.do without

考查固定搭配。do without“没有…也行，将就”。句意：——我喜欢涂黄油的面包。——但是家里一个也没有。恐怕你得将就了。

8.After all

考查固定词组。句意：毕竟，没有人比我更了解我自己。after all毕竟。
