【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了楼上开派对让Wood先生无法入睡，忍无可忍之后，他去楼上理论，没想到房主邀请Wood先生过来一起玩，等Wood先生换好衣服回来后发现派对已经快结束了。

1.考查形容词。句意：住在下层公寓里的Wood先生听到令人兴奋的声音和噪杂的音乐，不禁叹了口气。修饰物用-ing形式的形容词，表示“令人……的”，故填exciting。

2.考查非限定性定语从句。句意：幸运的是，他从办公室带了一些工作回来，让自己忙了几个小时，因此没有注意头顶上的噪音。此处为非限定性定语从句，关系词指代先行词some work，在从句中作介词with的宾语，故填which。

3.考查固定短语。句意参考上题解析，pay attention to表示“注意”，故填to。

4.考查形容词比较级。句意：但到了11点，他觉得有些累，准备上床睡觉，尽管从他早些时候的经验来看，努力入睡是没有用的。此处有个隐晦的比较意义，表示“比现在稍早的”，故填earlier。

5.考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题解析，it is no use doing sth表示“做……是没有用的”，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动名词，故填trying。

6.考查时态。句意：他脱下衣服，躺在床上，想看会儿书，却发现自己翻来覆去只是看同一页。此处动作与前面的undressed是相继发生的，所以用一般过去时，故填lay。

7.考查冠词。句意：然后他关上灯，把头埋在枕头里。turn off the light表示“关灯”，light前需要加定冠词the表特指，故填the。

8.考查主语从句。句意：最后在过了似乎几个小时之后，他的耐心消失殆尽。此处为主语从句，从句中seemed缺少主语，表示“……的时间”，故填what。

9.考查连词。句意：公寓的房主走出房间，还没等Wood先生开口，他就大声说道：“亲爱的朋友，来和我们一起玩吧，我知道我们的派对会给你带来麻烦，我想给你发个请帖。”根据语境，此处表示“在……之前”，故填before。

10.考查副词。句意：几分钟后，他穿着得体地回来了，却发现派对快结束了。修饰形容词dressed用副词，故填properly。
