答案解析
1.D。lose one’s connection to意为“误了到……地方去的（汽车、火车、轮船的）联运”，为固定搭配。
2.C。take the blame for“对……承担责任”；take charge of“负责管理（照顾）”。注意charge前无冠词the。
3.D。keep（be）on good terms with意为“与……和睦相处”，为固定搭配。
4.B。make charges for意为“对……收（费）、索（价）”，是固定搭配。
5.B。generation gap意为“代沟”，是固定搭配。故答案为B。division“分，划分”；separation“分开”；interval“间隔，间隙；（幕间或工间）休息”。
6.B。to the exclusion of为固定搭配，意为“把……排斥在外”，故答案为B。eradication“根除，破灭”；extension“延伸，扩展”；inclusion“包括”，均不符合句意。
7.D。这组词都有“气恼；生气”之意。offence与动词take构成一个固定搭配，take offence at意为“（对）……生气；（因）……见怪”，符合题意。其余名词都可与动词feel连用，“与某人气恼”用with，“因某事气恼”用at，只是意思稍有不同：feel resentment at表示积压已久的气恼；feel irritation at表示极度的、一触即发的恼怒；feel annoyance at表示一种失去忍耐的气恼。
8.B。by accident“偶然”；by nature“生来，天性”；by anticipation“事先，预先”；by heart“熟记”。根据句意，nature为答案。
