【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講述了研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，快到30歲時(shí)，女性對(duì)自己的愛(ài)情生活和身材最自信、最滿意。28歲被認(rèn)為是女性一生中頭發(fā)最漂亮、身材最完美、自信心最強(qiáng)的時(shí)期。

【1】考查介詞。固定搭配be happy with對(duì)……滿意，故填with。

【2】考查連詞。根據(jù)上文at the age of twenty-eight可知，這里表示“在她們30歲之前”，表示“在……之前”，故填before。

【3】考查連詞。本句為定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞life，且在定語(yǔ)從句中作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)，故用關(guān)系副詞when，故填when。

【4】考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。分析句子可知，空格處作謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，因?yàn)槭沁^(guò)去的動(dòng)作，故使用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故填recorded。

【5】考查名詞的數(shù)。area為可數(shù)名詞，且根據(jù)上文twelve可知，用復(fù)數(shù)，故填areas。

【6】考查形容詞。根據(jù)上文系動(dòng)詞is可知，用形容詞作表語(yǔ)，故填lost。

【7】考查副詞。修飾動(dòng)詞age應(yīng)用副詞，故填quickly。

【8】考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。分析句子可知，空格處作主語(yǔ)，用動(dòng)名詞作主語(yǔ)，故填drinking。

【9】考查固定搭配。固定搭配in a bid to do sth，意為“為了做某事”，后跟不定式，故填to stay。

【10】考查名詞。名詞短語(yǔ)beauty routine，意為“日常美容”，故填beauty。
