29、心于，全神贯注于；文章为一般过去时，故填 was absorbed。2it 解析： 考查代词。 it 在此处为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语 to finish a book .，故填 it。3quickly 解析： 考查副词。所填词修饰动词 finish，因此需要用副词，故填 quickly。4of 解析： 考查介词。此处为 “of抽象名词”相当于形容词的用法， of great benefit 表示“非常有益” ，故填 of。5supporting 解析： 考查非谓语动词。介词 without 后接动名词作宾语，故填supporting。6introduced 解析： 考查非谓
30、语动词。所填词作后置定语，principle 与 introduce 之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式，故填 introduced。7behavior 解析： 考查名词。my 是形容词性物主代词，用来修饰名词，因此应该将behave 变为名词，故填 behavior。8more 解析： 考查比较级。根据上下文提示，此处 popular 应用比较级形式，故填more。9than 解析： 考查连词。空格前有提示词 better，than before 表示“比以前更” ，故填 than。10greatest 解析： 考查形容词。 one of 之后名词用形容词最高级修饰，表示“最之一” ，故填 greatest。
