四、
答案:①straightened ②though/as ③However ④for ⑤the ⑥greater ⑦confused ⑧feeling ⑨slowly ⑩flashes
解析:①考查时态。由and began可知用过去式straightened。
②考查连词。句意: 虽然老人感觉很虚弱, 但他还是竭尽全力拽住大鱼。根据句意可知, 此处为让步状语从句, 的倒装结构, 故填连词though/as(虽然)。此空不能填although或while, 它们引导让步状语从句时, 不能将从句中的形容词、副词、名词放在连词前。
③考查副词。句意: 他认为他能搞定它, 但大鱼还是游走了。从句意可知, 空格前后是转折关系, 且有逗号隔开, 故填However。
④考查动词短语。reach for是动词短语, 意为"伸手去拿"。
⑤考查冠词。the next意为"下一个"。
⑥考查比较级。句意: 他从来没有看到过比这条鱼更大的鱼。从句意可知, 此空用比较级。
⑦考查非谓语动词。此空作表语, 要用形容词。指人"(头脑)不清楚的"时, 用过去分词confused。
⑧考查非谓语动词。固定短语on the point of中的of是介词, 因而此空用动名词feeling。
⑨考查词性转换。此空修饰谓语swam off, 应用副词, 故填slowly。
⑩考查名词复数。flash闪光, 闪现, 是可数名词, 空前无限定词, 因而此处用复数。
