我们先来看题目要求：
从方框中选择合适的词填入句子中，并根据需要改变词形。
方框中的词有：
diploma, counterpart, excel, intellectual, abstract, emphasis

我们逐句分析并填空：

7. ______ property results from creative thinking and may include products, services, processes, and ideas.

• 这句话讲的是“某种财产”来源于创造性思维，包括产品、服务、流程和想法。
• 这明显是在描述“知识产权”——intellectual property，这是一个固定搭配。
• 所以这里应填：intellectual

✅ 答案：Intellectual

8. He ______ in studies and received his Ph.D. in plant pathology and genetics in 1942.

• 句子后半部分说他获得了博士学位，说明他在学业上表现优异。
• “excel” 意为“在……方面表现出色”，常用结构是 excel in something。
• 时态：句子后半部分用的是过去时 “received”，所以前面也应用过去时。
• “excel” 的过去式是 excelled

✅ 答案：excelled

9. Mathematics is concerned with understanding ______ concepts.

• 数学关注的是对什么概念的理解？
• 数学中的概念通常是“抽象的”——abstract concepts 是常见搭配。
• “abstract” 是形容词，修饰“concepts”，语法正确。

✅ 答案：abstract

10. At a "cat cafe," the ______ is not on food and beverages but relaxing in the company of cats.

• 这句话的意思是：在“猫咖啡馆”，重点不在于食物和饮料，而在于和猫一起放松。
• “the emphasis is on...” 是固定表达，意思是“重点在于……”
• 所以这里填 emphasis

✅ 答案：emphasis

11. The Foreign Minister held talks with his Chinese ______.

• 外交部长与他的中国……进行了会谈。
• “his Chinese counterpart” 意为“他的中国 counterpart（对应职位的人）”，即中国的外交部长。
• “counterpart” 指“相对应的人或物”，常用于外交场合。

✅ 答案：counterpart

12. After losing his job, he returned to college and eventually get a(n) _______.

• 注意：句子中 “get” 应该是 got，因为前面是过去时 “returned”，但题目可能是笔误，我们按原句理解。
• 他回到大学，最终获得了一个……
• 与大学相关的文凭类名词，从选项中看是 diploma（文凭）
• “get a diploma” 是常见搭配，表示获得毕业文凭。

✅ 答案：diploma
