M)enlisted N)perspective O)motion
1.【C1】
F
解析：household…作do的宾语，空格应为名词。Braddock七岁开始第一份工作，而七岁能做的“工作”只能是家务活，故选用chores。
2.【C2】
K
解析：不定冠词a和介词of提示此处应填入名词。本句列举Braddock工作过的几个地方。词库中名词series填入文中句意通顺，表示Braddock在一系列快餐馆连锁店工作过。
3.【C3】
A
解析：and提示填入空格的词与worked并列，应为过去式动词，作句子谓语。本段是说Jason工作赚取学费，tutored“当家庭教师”符合句意。
4.【C4】
H
解析：空格在从句主语who和谓语earned之间，应为副词。根据本句中的“不需要借助学生贷款”和上文提到的从小就开始工作存学费，可知Braddock靠自己读完大学，获得学位，self-reliantly符合文中语境。
5.【C5】
C
解析：空格处应填入动词作句子的谓语。本句提到GI Bill会提供学费、教材费、住宿费，可见Kendall通过GIBill的资助完成了学业。financed“为……提供资金”符合句意。
6.【C6】
M
解析：空格所在句缺少谓语，应填入动词。上文提到参军是赚取学费的另一个途径，结合空格后的as a Navy Seabee，可以推断Kendall应该是参军去了，故选用enlisted。
7.【C7】
E
解析：空格可为副词修饰形容词natural，但词库中的副词放入句中句意不通顺。故考虑选用形容词，与natural并列修饰disasters。自然灾害tsunami和hurricane带来很大的伤亡，因此选用catastrophic。
8.【C8】
J
解析：空格所在的before从句缺少谓语，空格应为动词且能与to搭配。空格前后分别提到了两所大学，动词库中transferred符合句意，表示他从Muskegon社区大学修完大专课程后，就“转学”到了Grand Valley州立大学。
9.【C9】
B
解析：此处需填入副词修饰形容词debt-free。由本段可知，Kendall上大学的学费、生活费来源有保障，他才能专注学业、主动在女儿班上效劳。可见他是无负债毕业，completely符合上下文语义。
10.【C10】
N
解析：a表明空格应为单数名词。本句讲参军的经历使Kendall获得了与别的大学生不一样的经历，名词库中perspective“视角，观点”一词用在此处最贴切。
