{01}When I opened the door, I found my father sitting in his chair, completely _____ in the humorous stories he was reading.

A.lost

B.absorbing

C.attracted

D.addicted

解析：词义辨析.lost丢失的/迷路的.absorbing吸引人的，指的是物品的性质吸引人；attracted 被吸引的，通常要和介词by连用，表示被……吸引。 addicted上了瘾的。根据题意，当我打开门，发现我的父亲坐在椅子上，完全迷失在他的读的幽默故事中。故选A。
本题选A。
{02}The chairwoman hated his_____, so she just stood at platform, _____ him.

A.cutting off; glancing at	B.cutting down; staring at
C.cutting in ; glaring at	D.cutting out; watching

解析：考查词组辨析：cutt off切断，cut down 砍倒，减少，cut in 插话cut out 剪去，所以第一空填cut in ，glance at瞥见，B.; stare at凝视，   C. ; glaring at怒目而视说明第二空填glaring at，句意是：女主席讨厌他插话，所以就站在讲台上对他怒目而视。选C。
本题选C。
{03}Although my parents are very busy, they still ______ a lot of time to us.

A.offer

B.devote

C.spend

D.provide

解析：这题考查动词词义和搭配，offer“提供”devote“奉献”，spend“花费”，provide“提供 ”，句意是：虽然父母很忙，他们还是把很多时间花在我身上。因为spend和on搭配，所以只能选B。devote sth to …“把…奉献给”。
本题选B。
