26.答案I(relatively)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，空前不定冠词，空后形容词加名词，空格填副词，DI二选一，再加上不定冠词a可以排除D,I选项正确。
27.答案N(surprising)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，空前不定冠词，空后名词，空格填形容词，根据语义N选项正确。
28.答案M(suggest)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的成分分析法，本句缺谓语动词，空格填谓语动词，注意非谓语动词不选。所以选择范围缩小到FMO，三选一，根据语义M选项正确。
29.答案C(direct)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，空前形容词，空后名词，空格填形容词，CGLN四选一，排除已经选过的N，范围最终缩小为三选一，根据语义C选项正确。
30.答案O(test)
解析：本题考查不定式，空格显然填动词原形，除去已经选过的M，剩下FO二选一，根据语义O选项正确。
31.答案J(remains)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，空前形容词，空后无名词，空格填名词，KJ二选一，根据语义J选项正确。
32.答案E(including)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，完整句子缺修饰语，且空格后有名词，属于我们课堂上讲到的考查非谓语动词作状语的情况，填现在分词。BE二选一，根据语义E选项正确。
33.答案L(staple)
解析：本题套用我们之前讲到的公式法，空前不定冠词，空后名词，空格填形容词，除去已经选过的C选项，GLN三选一，根据语义L选项正确。
34.答案A(arrived)
解析：本题属于本篇选词填空难度最高的一题，考查特殊句型倒装句，have后接ed动词，AH二选一，根据语义A选项正确。
35.答案G(raw)
解析：本题套用我们在课堂上讲到的CP法则和并列法则，通过but并列连词得知asfood和asmaterial并列，所以空格需要填一个修饰material的形容词即可，再根据CP法则，马上选出G(raw)，rawmaterial是固定表达，原材料。
