【解析】

本题考查完成句子。做题时需要从词性、短语、语态、非谓语动词等方面来考虑。

1.考查连词。祈使句 + and，前面的祈使句表示条件，and引导的分句表示结果。句意：给我一个机会，我会给你一个惊喜。故填and。

2.考查非谓语动词。现在分词作结果状语，表示顺其自然所带来的结果。句意：年轻的丈夫离开了她，毁掉了她的生活和所有的希望。故填destroying。

3.考查时态。This is the first time that从句通常用现在完成时。句意：这是我们第一次在新建电影院看一部电影。故填have seen。

4.考查非谓语动词。afford to do sth负担得起做某事。句意：那位经理说他真的承担不起再等一天了，因为自己实在太忙了。故填to wait。

5.考查主谓一致。分数+名词，谓语动词单复数取决于其后面所跟的名词的单复数。句意：三分之一的国家被树木覆盖，并且大多数公民都是黑人。故填is covered。

6.考查代词。句中用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为if you could reply to me as soon as possible.。句意：如果你能尽快回复我，我将不胜感激。故填it。

7.考查时态。had hoped……本希望做某事，但与过去事实相反。句意：我本想给他发封电报祝贺他结婚，但未办到。故填had hoped。

8.考查时态。根据时间状语in the past five years可知用现在完成时。句意：随着人口的快速增长，在过去五年当中，这座城市向四面八方扩展。故填has spread。

9.考查定语从句。as引导定语从句指代整个主句内容 含有“正如”之意 。句意：科学往往如此，它没有一个简单的答案。故填as。

10.考查非谓语动词。be reduced to doing... 处于/沦落到.....。句意：他在大城市里的生活很难，最后沦落到在街上乞讨。故填wandering。

11.考查非谓语动词。短语belong to属于，无被动，在句中作定语，故用现在分词。句意：属于你的袋子放在原来的地方。故填belonging。

12.考查名词。根据定冠词the 和句意可知，后接名词形式interviewee，且为可数名词，由all修饰可知用复数形式。句意：尽管他在所有的受试者中脱颖而出，但他没有被公司录取。故填interviewees。

13.考查短语。take … seriously认真对待某事。句意：他离开学校时开始认真对待政治学。故填seriously。

14.考查让步状语从句。however(＝no matter how)无论怎么，引导让步状语从句。句意：不减少进食，无论你怎么努力，要减肥都是困难的。故填However。

15.考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语Dina与struggle为主动关系，故用分词短语作时间状语。由于句中的finally可知非谓语动词表示的动作发生在句中谓语took a position之前，故用现在分词的完成时。句意：Dina作为一个服务员努力寻找了几个月的工作，最终在一家广告公司谋到了一个职位。故填having struggled。

16.考查时态。根据are confident我们现在确信， by our further efforts通过进步的努力，那环境的改善应是在将来，又因主语environment 与谓语improve之间是被动关系，故用一般将来时的被动式。句意：我们确信经过我们减少污染的进一步努力，环境会被改善的。故填will be improved。

17.考查形容词。形容词adoptive有收养关系的，修饰名词parents。句意：他是被在肯塔基州的养父母抚养大的。故填adoptive。

18.考查非谓语动词。一般情况下用ing修饰物或事,但如果名词是voice, look, expression三个名词时，用动词的过去分词修饰。句意：我没有公开他的失败，以避免看到他尴尬的表情。故填embarrassed。

19.考查非谓语动词。介词without后v-ing形式。句意：总统在会议上讲了几乎一个小时也没有看笔记。故填referring。
