答案以及解析
1.arguing with him
【详解】考查动词。结合句意表示“和他争辩”短语为argue with him,此处为动名词作主语,故填arguing with him。
2. physical result tensions
【详解】考查形容词、动词短语和名词。“身体的”使用形容词physical作定语,修饰名词changes,结合第二空后的in可知,“导致”使用动词短语result in,情态动词may后接动词原形,“关系紧张”使用名词tension,此处用作可数名词,用复数泛指。故填①physical②result③tesions。
3. make full use of our school resources
【详解】考查动词短语。 it是形式主语,不定式是真正的主语,to后面用动词原形。“充分利用”是动词短语make full use of ,“我们的学校资源”是our school resources,作宾语,故翻译为make full use of our school resources。
4.It’s argued that
【详解】考查固定句型。结合句意可知句型为It’s argued that...,表示“主张,认为……”。故填It’s argued that。
5. resulted in
【详解】考查动词短语及时态。短语result in表示“导致”,结合句意和involved可知,句子用一般过去时。故填①resulted;②in。
6.elected Tom (as/to be) monitor
【详解】考查动词短语和时态。elect sb. (as/to be)…,是固定短语,意为“选举某人为……”,故表达“选举汤姆为班长”应表达为elect Tom (as/to be) monitor,结合语意可知,此处应用一般过去时,故空处应填elected Tom (as/to be) monitor。故填elected Tom (as/to be) monitor。
7.brought about/resulted in/led to/caused
【详解】考查动词(短语)。根据句意可知,本句描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。表示“引起”为brought about或resulted in或led to或caused。故填brought about/resulted in/led to/caused。
8. There are strong arguments for and against
【详解】考查固定句型、时态及主谓一致。根据句意可知,该句可采用There be句型,意为“有……”。“论据”可表示为argument,支持和反对的人都有论据,所以argument要用复数形式,arguments作为句子的主语,there be句型中的be动词应用复数,且描述的是客观事实,所以be动词用are。“支持和反对”可用for and against表示。故填There are strong arguments for and against。
9. argue that
【详解】考查动词时态和宾语从句。动词argue为“主张,认为”之意,后接宾语从句。从句不缺少成分,且句意完整,所以用连接代词that连接。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。根据句意,故填argue that。
10.most valuable resource
【详解】考查形容词的最高级。表示“有价值的”应用形容词valuable;表示“资源”应用名词resource。根据句意,此处应用最高级。故填most valuable resource。
11.One possible version:
Recently we have had a discussion about whether money can bring us happiness. Different students have different opinions.
Some students think that money is so important that we couldn't survive without money. Besides, money can help us solve many problems in life. With enough money we can live a comfortable life. However, others hold the opposite opinion. They don't think money means everything. For example, money cannot buy health. If we attach too much importance to money, we cannot find the real meaning of life.
Personally, we should treat money in a wise and proper way. Only in this way can we enjoy life to the fullest.
