【解析】

試題分析：

 am tired of  固定搭配“對…感到厭倦”句意：同樣的食物吃了一個月，我吃膩了，再也不想吃了。

 earn her living 固定搭配earn one’s living謀生；earn one’s living by doing sth通過…謀生。

 keeps his word 固定搭配keep one’s word信守諾言；句子的word表示諾言。

 in the shape of 固定搭配in the shape of…以…的形狀。在萬圣節，很多孩子都打扮成鬼的形狀。

 looks forward to    本句是一個定語從句，每個人都盼望的假期已經來了。定語從句中的謂語動詞要和先行詞保持一致。

 set off  固定搭配set off for..動身前往…；注意該詞還有其它意思：引起，使…發生。

 before long 固定搭配before long不久以后；要注意long before很久之前。

 are curious about 固定搭配be curious about…對…感到好奇。

 lose weight  固定搭配lose weight減肥。

 took place 固定搭配發生take place，注意該短語沒有被動語態的形式。時間狀語是that day，故使用一般過去時。
