【答案详解】
1. C【解析】 sth cost sb...“某物花费某人多少钱”，主语是物；take 常用于 It takes sb some time to do sth 句式；pay “付费”，主语通常是人；spend“花费”，主语常为人。根据用法选 C。
2. B【解析】have access to... 表示“有（使用或见到的）机会；权利 ”。
3. D【解析】 lie“躺，说谎”；lay“放置”。由句意可知，此处应选“放置”。由a while ago 可知此句应为一般过去时，lay 的过去式为 laid，故选 D。
4. A【解析】 fail 做及物动词，可表示 “辜负（某人）”，这里时态是过去完成时，所以动词用过去分词。
5. C【解析】 offer“（ 主 动 ） 提 供 ”；give“给 予 ”；afford“买 得 起 ”；provide“提供，供应”。根据句意选 C。
6. C【解析】 prefer doing to doing 表示“宁愿做……而不愿做……”，是固定结构。
7. C【解析】 rise“上升”，是不及物动词；raise“提高；使出现”，是及物动词；arise“出现，产生”，是不及物动词，常与 from 连用；arouse“激起”，是及物动词，常用于抽象事物。根据句意选 C，arose 为arise 的过去式。
8. D【解析】spend time doing sth“花时间做某事”。
9. C【解析】 appreciate 表示“感激”，其后通常接动名词做宾语，而且动词give 与其逻辑主语 the opportunity 之间是动宾关系，故选 C。
10. B【解析】 persuade sb to do sth“劝服某人做某事”；advise sb to do sth“建议某人做某事”；suggest sb (should) do sth“建议某人做某事”。根据句意、时态及用法，选 B。
