　　There were some bad __6__. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even __7__ bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.

　　[I] manufacture

　　[J] moments

　　[N] scary

　　[O] totally

　　答案解析：

　　1. 【答案】 D

　　【精析】 动词辨认题。空格处缺少动词原形。根据句意，意为"声称"。 D)claim比较随意，可以表示"个人的声明，宣称";claim to do表示"宣称做某事"。A)accomplish"完成";F)declare"宣布(法律、公告等)，声明";M)regret"遗憾，抱歉"，词义 不符。

　　2. 【答案】 H

　　【精析】 句法推断题。空格位于系动词was之后，介词to之前，因此缺少形容词或者过去分词，可用于be...to 的搭配。be limited to表示"局限于"。 L)reduced表示"减少"，不能与to搭配。

　　3. 【答案】 O

　　【精析】 副词辨认题。用于形容词之前，空格处缺少副词。根据句意，表示"完全地"。选项中的另一个副词E)constantly"经常地"，不符合句意。

　　4. 【答案】 G

　　【精析】 名词辨析题。空格处缺少名词，与research并列，因此选择G)interviews"采访"。选项中的另三个名词C)balloon"气球"， J)moments"时刻"， K)news"新闻，消息"，不符合句意，排除。

　　5. 【答案】 M

　　【精析】 名词辨析题。空格前有形容词considerable，这里需要填名词。regret"抱歉，遗憾"。

　　6. 【答案】 J

　　【精析】 名词辨析题。空格位于形容词bad之后，需要名词，根据句意，这里表示"沮丧、糟糕的时候"。

　　7. 【答案】 B

　　【精析】 形容词辨析题。空格位于名词bookings之前，缺少形容词或者过去分词。修饰bookings"预约"，所填词应表示"提前的"。其他分词、形容词选项L)reduced"减少的"，N) scary"引起惊慌的"，意义不符。

　　8. 【答案】 N

　　【精析】 名词辨析题。空格处需要形容词，表示"令人害怕的，引起惊慌的"。

　　9. 【答案】 C

　　【精析】 动词辨析题。空格位于不定冠词之后，因此缺少名词。根据句意应选C)balloon"气球"。

　　10. 【答案】 A

　　【精析】 动词辨析题。空格位于情态动词can之后，名词wonders之前，缺少动词原形。根据句意A)accomplish"实现, 完成"符合句意。
