解析

本题考查词汇的正确形式及在在句子中的运用。解题思路是根据句子的语境和语法结构，从所给的词汇中选择合适的单词，并以正确的形式填入句子。

  1. “The mother’s eyes were _ with tears”，根据语境，这里需要一个表示“充满”的单词，所给词汇中“brim”合适，且要用现在分词形式“brimming”，所以填“brimming”。
  2. “The young man is a keen sailor and I often see him _ his boat just outside his house”，这里需要一个表示“系泊”的动词，“moor”符合，且“see sb. do sth.”结构，用动词原形，所以填“moor”。
  3. “The workers have been _ since the beginning of the year because the company is shutting down its operations”，根据语境，这里需要一个表示“闲置”的形容词，“idle”合适，所以填“idle”。
  4. “After the number of visitors of all ages increased _”，这里需要一个表示“急剧地”的副词，“steeply”合适，所以填“steeply。
  5. “After careful preparations and several interviews, he successfully _ a place for himself at the law school in this well - known university”，，这里需要一个表示“获得”的动词，“secure”合适，且“successfully”后用动词原形，所以填“secured”。
  6. “Despite the biting cold, I left my comfortable cabin and ventured out onto the ship’s _”，这里需要一个表示“甲板”的名词，“deck”合适，所以填“deck”。
  7. “The fishermen _ the boat out of the water and attached the net to the back of the boat”，这里需要一个表示“拖”的动词，“haul”合适，且“and”连接两个并列的动作，前面用过去式，所以填“hauled”。
