答案:
刷单句填空
1. survivor句意为:大火摧毁了这家人的木屋,这位父亲是唯的幸存者。设空处在句中作was的表语且前面有 the only修饰,主语是 The father,应该用名词的单数形式。故填 survivor。
2. breath句意为:他气喘吁吁地赶到火车站,结果被告知开往上海的火车已经开走半个小时了。out of breath为固定搭配,意为“喘不过气来”。故填 breath。
3. wisdom句意为:在学习的过程中,你会发现“大智若愚"。“of+抽象名词”等于形容词,of great wisdom作后置定语修饰a man。故填 wisdom。
4. ruins句意为:难怪整座大楼现在成了一片废墟;昨晚它着了那么大的火。in ruins为固定搭配,意为“成为废墟;破败不堪”。故填ruins。
5. from句意为:雨下得太大了,我们不得不在超市里避雨。take shelter from为固定搭配,意为“躲避……"。故填from。
6. to句意为:由于听力丧失通常被认为是老年人的健康问题,所以很难让固执的青少年相信他们确实在损害他们的耳朵。do damage to为固定搭配,意为“对…造成损害”。故填to。
7. is/are affected句意为:营养不良在非洲仍然很普遍,那里大约有20%的人口营养不良,而在亚洲有超过12%的人营养不良。从句的主语 population在此为集体名词,根据句意可知,此处既可指整体概念,也可指具体成员,故谓语既可以用单数,也可以用复数,从句的谓语动词affect与 the population之间是被动关系,且根据 remains可知,时态是一般现在时。故填is/are affected。
8. to answer此处考查固定句式“主语+be+adj.+ to do”。故填to answer。
9. burying句意为:火山爆发,熔岩从山上倾泻而下,掩埋了几个村庄。bury与其逻辑主语 the lava之间为主动关系,故此处应用现在分词作结果状语。故填 burying。
10. calming句意为:卫生工作者忙着辟谣、平息恐慌,并为可能出现的新病例做好准备。设空处与 scotching和 preparing并列。故填 calming。
