答案以及解析
一、
1.答案:deadly
解析:考查形容词。句意:一场称为树木“口蹄疫”的致死疾病正在摧毁这个国家的森林。disease为名词,需要用形容词修饰。
2.答案:predictions
解析:考查名词。句意:做预测很困难,尤其是预测未来。make为及物动词,后面跟名词作宾语。
3.答案:precisely
解析:考查副词。句意:“那恰恰是我们走那个方向的原因,”她说。precisely放在“定冠词+名词”构成的短语前,意为“恰恰,正好”。
4.答案:light
解析:考查固定搭配。as+adj./adv.(原形)+as…和一样, 故填light。
5.答案:play
解析:考查不定式的省略。but前若有动词do, 后面的不定式不带to。故填play。
6.答案:reliable
解析:考查形容词。形容词修饰名词或名词短语, 设空处修饰的是“学生”, 应填形容词, 故填reliable。
7.答案:Without
解析:考查介词。结合句意“没有别人的帮助你不可能成功”可知, 这里应该填without。
8.答案:was threatened
解析:考查动词的时态和语态。结合句意可知, post office与threaten之间是被动关系, 故threaten应该用被动语态, 由in the 1980s可知, 应该用一般过去时, 故填was threatened。
9.答案:expected
解析:考查状语从句中的省略。当状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致, 谓语含有be动词时可以省略状语从句的主语和be动词, 由于展会是被期待, 因此应该用过去分词。故填expected。
10.答案:precisely

三、
答案:①when ②coming ③to escape ④complained ⑤but ⑥a ⑦that ⑧were found ⑨in ⑩Hopefully
解析:①考查定语从句。句意:那天早上8:16, 当这栋四层楼里的员工正在忙碌工作时, 有人看见浓烟从二层的窗户中冒了出来。这是一个定语从句, 先行词为8:16 that morning, 表示时间, 且从句缺少时间状语, 故填when。

④考查动词的时态。句意:一些员工抱怨救援来得太晚, 但是消防员的确在火势报道出来后的十分钟内就赶到了。文章使用的是一般过去时, 且由后面分句中的did也可知, 此处应使用一般过去时。故填complained。
⑤考查连词。句意同上。根据句意可知, 前后分句之间是转折关系, 故填but。
⑥考查冠词。句意:这栋大楼仅有的两个出口不足以让这么多人迅速撤出。in a hurry意为“迅速”, 为固定搭配。故填a。
⑦考查表语从句。句意:据调查者说, 起火原因是某个人违反了工厂的禁烟规定, 因为一些烟头被找到了。设空处位于was后, 且空后是一个完整的陈述句, 不缺句子成分, 所以这是一个表语从句, 故填that。
⑧考查动词的语态和时态。句意同上。全文使用的是一般过去时, 所以此处也应使用一般过去时。some cigarette ends与find之间是被动关系, 所以用被动语态。且some cigarette ends是名词的复数形式, 故填were found。
⑨考查固定搭配。句意:接下来的两周内, 会有15个检查组轮流在所有工厂工作, 以消除更多火灾发生的可能性。in turn意为“轮流, 依次”, 是固定搭配。故填in。
⑩考查副词。句意:希望这样的灾难不要再发生。 设空处位于句首, 修饰整个句子, 应用副词形式。故填Hopefully。
