【8】steamed

【解析】本大题是用所给词的正确形式填空。既要选出正确的词，又要用其正确的形式来填空。因此要注意所填词在句中的语境，弄清所填词的人称，时态及在句中所作的成份，从而确定所填的词。

【1】greet

考查动词不定式。句意：在意大利接吻只用来问候(greet)非常亲密的朋友或家人。动词不定式to 后要用动词原形。故用greet。

【2】adjusted

考查固定搭配。句意：天线可以通过加长或缩短来调节这些信号的范围。adjust to 调整。本句中应为被动。故用adjusted。

【3】ensure

考查动词。句意：为了确保（ensure）成功，我们必须有一个全面周密的计划

【4】prohibiting

考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：有一条法律禁止人们在地铁里吸烟。prohibit sb. from doing sth.禁止某人做某事，a law与 prohibit是主动关系。故要用v-ing形式作定语，所以用prohibiting。

【5】bowed

考查谓语动词。句意：当吉姆得知他的对手是谁时，他退出了比赛。bow out of… ，退出……。退出比赛是发生在过去，故要用一段过去时。

【6】congratulation

考查名词。句意：他在那一天收到了多达一百封祝贺信。congratulate sb. on sth.…祝贺某人某事。因为作介词of的宾语，故用名词。

【7】governs

考查谓语动词。句意：人们生活在语言王国，这个语言王国统治着他们的思维方式和行为方式。govern在定语从句中作谓语，先行词是the kingdom of language，是单数，故要用governs。

【8】steamed

考查过去分词作定语。句意：晚上吃点蒸土豆或烤土豆不会增加你的体重。steam vt. 蒸煮。potatoes与steam是被动关系。土豆是被蒸煮，所以要用过去分词作定语。故要用steamed。
