7
10.A 根据上文的“书包变沉”,结合句意可知他们做作业花的时间更长。故选A。
11.D 根据转折连词“But”可知家长认为爱好会阻碍他们的学业。putdown意为“放下”;putout意为“熄灭”;getoutof意为“从……出来”;getinthewayof意为“阻碍;挡路”。故选D。
12.B 根据前面的“allow”可知构成短语allowsb.todosth.,意为“允许某人做某事”。故选B。

14.A however意为“然而”;though意为“尽管”;but意为“但是”;so意为“因此”。根据上文的“她想成为一名歌手”和下文的“她的父母不想让她练习唱歌”可知,表示转折关系,因为设空后有逗号,用however。故选A。
