答案

1．to drink　根据be anxious to do sth.“着急做某事”用法可知该空填不定式。

2．too　根据语境“我们已在太阳下走了至少20分钟”可知填too, me too“我也是”。

3．at　at least“至少”。

4．will have　if条件状语从句用一般现在时，主句应用一般将来时。故该空填will have。

5．healthy　所给词在句中作表语，应用形容词形式，故填healthy“健康的”。

6．overweight　根据上下文语境可知该处指成年人超重，与该答句中最后的overweight呼应。

7．connected　所给词在句中作定语修饰food, be connected with“与……有关”作定语，应用过去分词。

8．why　That's why ...“这是为什么……”解释官员不满意新法律的原因。

9．and　空格前后为并列的的动作stop in和buy，故填并列连词and。

10．the　空处填定冠词the，特指上文提到的法律。
