【回答】
1．at 考查固定搭配。at lunch“吃午餐”，符合语境。
2．seriously 考查词*转换。此空需要填写一个副词来修饰动词take，故填serious的副词形式seriously。take sth. seriously“认真对待某事。”
3．consumed 考查非谓语动词。此处snack与consume之间是被动关系，所以要用过去分词作后置定语。
4．a 考查冠词。此空表泛指，说的是“去开会的路上”，用不定冠词a。
5．covering 考查非谓语动词。cover与其逻辑主语是主动关系，所以空处用现在分词作伴随状语。
6．of 考查介词。空后跟的是名词，故because后需加of，表示“因为，由于”。
7．preparation 考查词*转换。in preparation for为固定短语，意为“为……作准备”，故此处应填preparation。
8．but 考查连词。前后句之间是转折关系，故用转折连词but。
9．where 考查关系词。空处引导一个定语从句，先行词是gathering，且关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以要用where。
10．healthiest 考查形容词的最高级。由空前的one of可知，此空需要填写形容词的最高级形式。故填healthiest。
