1. couple为名词“夫妇”,其前应用形容词修饰。根据空前的定冠词the及上文的Charlotte Curtis is 105; John Henderson is 106(Charlotte Curtis105岁;John Henderson106岁)可知此处应使用old的最高级形式oldest,故填oldest。
2. seat是及物动词,意为“使…就坐”,seat和Students是被动关系,应使用过去分词seated,与were连用形成系表结构。故填seated。
3. 副词修饰动词,此处应使用direct的副词形式directly修饰动词sat,故填directly。
4. 考查动名词的复合形式。动名词的复合形式中动名词前面的物主代词所指代的人或事物就是该动名词的逻辑主语。此处动词look的逻辑主语是空前的物主代词his,因此此处应使用look的动名词形式looking。分析句子成分可知,此处的his looking为动名词的复合形式作谓语动词mind的宾语,故填looking。
5. 根据此句中的were present可知是发生在过去的事情,应使用一般过去时,marry的过去式是married。故填married。
6. secret to/of意为“……的秘密”,是固定搭配,故填to/of。
7. 根据句中的eat和don’t drink及其后的almost every day可知,应使用一般现在时。此句主语为John,故应使用exercise的第三人称单数形式exercises,故填exercises。
8. except for加名词或者代词,意为“除......意外”,lose的名词形式为loss,故填loss。
9. 此空连接两个并列的疑问句do they still argue和have they figured it all out,且表示选择关系,故填or。
10. 空前:他们一开始从来没有那么激烈地争论过,而且总是提出观点;空后:在睡觉前解决事情。按照逻辑关系可知他们提出观点的目的在于解决事情,因此应使用to do不定式表示目的,故填to settle。
Passage 8
1. smallest 2. will ease 3. landlocked 4. Taking
5. can 6. its 7. which 8. that
9. Instead of 20. because/ since / as
1. 句意:卢森堡有60.2万人口,是欧洲最小的国家之一,但它却饱受严重的交通堵塞之苦。分析句子,small所处的句子中有one of (其中之一),要求形容词用最高级。故填smallest。
2. 句意:希望此举能缓解过度拥挤并带来环境效益。分析句子,ease所在的从句无其他动词,故要填时态。且和主语 the move表示主动关系。主句表示“的希望”,说明从句的动词还未发生。所用用将来时。故填will ease。
3. 分析句子,此处需将landlock改为形容词,用来修饰后面的名词“卢森堡”。landlocked译为“被陆地包围的,内陆的”。故填landlocked。
4. 句意:卢森堡占地2586平方公里,大致相当于罗德岛的面积。分析句子,Take up的逻辑主语为后句的Luxembourg。两者之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填Taking。
5. 句意:从卢森堡的首都,比利时,法国和德国都可以在半小时内到达。分析句子,划线后面的be动词用了原形。且根据句意,此处少了表示“能够”之意的情态动词。又因文章的时态是一般现在时。故填can。
6. 句意:但其“蓬勃发展的经济”和工作的高度集中导致了拥挤问题。分析句意,此处缺了代词指代前句提到了“卢森堡”。又因划线后面有名词---经济。故需填形容词性物主代词。故填its。
7. 句意:欧洲城市哥本哈根和赫尔辛基的人口规模堪比整个卢森堡,但这两个城市的司机平均只花了24小时在路上。分析句子,划线部分充当了主语。且前面有“逗号”。故该空需填入非性定语从句的关系词。“非限”的先行词为“哥本哈根和赫尔辛基”,先行词指物。故填which。
8. 句意:人们仍然担心免费交通可能会无意中阻止人们在城市地区正常步行或骑自行车。分析句子,划线后面的句子为主句抽象名词concern的内容,故从句为同位语从句。且此处不缺成分,句意完整。故填that。
9. 句意:人们不会走500米的距离,看到一辆公交车开过来,他们会说,这段路我可以搭公交,因为公交免费。根据句意可知,并此处表示instead of“而不是,代替”。故填Instead of。
10. 句意:人们不会走500米的距离,看到一辆公交车开过来,他们会说,这段路我可以搭公交,因为公交免费。分析句意可知,本句为because/ since / as引导的原因状语从句。故填because/ since / as。

1. 句意:一位忠诚的利物浦足球俱乐部球迷总是确保他心爱的球队无论何时上场都能为他们加油,多亏了他亲爱的哥哥的来信,球队最近才得以回报这位支持者。短语thanks to为固定短语,意为“多亏,幸亏”,根据句意,故填to。
2. 句意:伊恩是利物浦城的本地人,他希望家乡的足球队能为他的兄弟大卫做一些特别的事情,他给俱乐部写了一封关于大卫状况的信。分析句子可知,____2____hoped his hometown soccer team would do something special for his brother David为非性定语从句,修饰先行词Ian,先行词在从句中作主语,指人,故填who。
3. 句意:同上。分析句子可知,空中缺少的为谓语动词,根据从句时态用的一般过去时,可推测主句时态也是一般过去时,故填wrote。
4. 句意:虽然大卫在学业上一直很努力,但他对利物浦的忠诚从未离开过他,他在社区中以一个伟大的孩子和热情的球迷而闻名。分析句子可知,空中的词修饰动词struggled作状语,应用academic的副词形式,故填academically。
5. 句意:大卫是一个赛季的球票持有者,他尽可能多地去观看利物浦的比赛。分析句子可知,空中的词为谓语动词,本句为描述一般事实,应用一般现在时,故填tries。
6. 句意:他从来没有想到团队中最伟大的成员之一会在他工作的时候去看他。结合句意可知,这里用one of +the +形容词最高级+名词复数,故填greatest。
7. 句意:被认为是世界上最好的后卫和最好的球员之一的利物浦后卫维吉尔·范·迪耶克拜访了大卫的工作场所,给了他一生的惊喜:去利物浦俱乐部的训练场与球队见面。分析句子可知,空中的词作定语,修饰主语Liverpool FC defender Virgil Van Dijk,并和主语之间为被动的关系,应用过去分词,故填considered。
8. 句意:同上。分析句子可知,空中的词用来修饰名词trip,并且意为“一个”,trip又是以辅音音素开头,故填a。
9. 句意:不仅如此,范·迪耶克还送给大卫剩余比赛的门票,以确保他们在本赛季剩下的25场比赛中都能得到他的支持。分析句子可知,空中的词作介词with的宾语,应用名词,因为是剩余的门票,应用复数形式,加s,故填tickets。
10. 句意:同上。分析句子可知,空中的词修饰名词games作定语,应用remain的形容词形式,故填remaining。

9. one's 10. worker
1. 句意:因为没有胳膊和腿,阿比让的艺术家阿达玛·特拉奥雷找到了一种独特的方式来创造他的艺术。短语 the way to do …“做……的方法”,the way后接不定式作定语,故填to make。
2. 句意:自出生后就没有四肢,他9岁时参加了一个残疾青年中心,在那里他学会了绘画的方法。分析句子结构,空后是定语从句,先行词是center,指地点,从句缺少状语,因此用where引导定语从句。故填where。
3. 句意:“当我还是个孩子的时候,我妈妈把我送到在残疾人中心的一个名叫玛丽·奥黛尔的白人妇女那里”。“the+形容词disabled”表示一类人。 故填the。
4. 句意:那位女士去世了,我最后流落街头。 短语end up in ….“最后,最终,以……告终”。故填in。
5. 句意:四处走动很困难,出租车司机都不愿意载他,因为他们认为他没有钱。assume和其逻辑主语taxi drivers是逻辑上的主动关系,因此用现在分词作状语,表示补充说明。故填assuming。
6. 句意:但他继续画色彩斑斓的风景画和肖像画,得到了人们的认可,也赚到了一些钱。修饰名词landscapes,应该用形容词形式。故填colorful。
7. 句意:特拉奥雷慢慢地从他的艺术作品中攒了一些钱,并用这些钱开了一家小型艺术工作室。修饰谓语动词built up,应该用副词形式。故填slowly。
8. 句意:他结婚了,现在乘出租车去上班。根据时间状语now应该用一般现在时;主语是he,因此用单数第三人称形式。故填goes。
9. 句意:绘画对人们的健康有好处,可以振奋精神。代词one可泛指“人们,任何人”;此处修饰名词health,应用one的所有格形式one’s,意思为“人们的,任何人的”。故填one's。
10. 句意:但是当他们看到我工作的时候,他们会说这是一个工人。在不定冠词a后面应该是名词;根据句意, 与前一句的a beggar相对,应该是“工人”。故填worker。下载本文
