Answer 1

【答案】

【1】whispers

【2】amused

【3】amusing; amused

【4】in

【5】much

【6】out

【7】reacted

【8】starting

【9】saying

【10】drunk

【11】explanation

【12】leading

【解析】

【1】whispers 句意：他们低声耳语唯恐被人听见。whisper。

【2】amused amuse使愉快，符合语境。

【3】 amusing; amused amusing修饰物，故第一空用amusing，修饰后面的performance， amuse还有动词词性，意为“使快乐”。句意：令人发笑的表演使在场的每个人都很快乐。

【4】in 句意：你的房间总是很乱，你应该整理一下。in a mess乱糟糟。

【5】much mess混乱，脏乱。句意：工人们弄得如此混乱，以至于沃克尔夫人后来用了三天时间大扫除。

【6】out 句意：学生们都穿着统一的校服，因此在他们中认出我儿子有点难。pick out挑出，辨认出。

【7】reacted 句意：其他科学家们对她的想法的反应是既有批评，也有保持沉默。react多用作不及物动词，后跟介词to，表示“对……做出反应”。

【8】starting 句意：昨晚七点开始的报告之后是用望远镜观察月亮。lecture与start之间为主动关系，故用starting作后置定语。

【9】saying 句意：Sarah装作很高兴，没有说任何关于争论的事情。Sarah与say之间为主动关系，故用saying做伴随状语。

【10】drunk 句意：他喝醉后就上床睡觉了，一觉醒来后发现自己还穿着鞋子。分析句子结构可知，空格处是作状语，表状态。

【11】explanation 句意：他谈了半个小时，但就为什么他做那件事仍未能给出一个合理的解释。explanation解释。

【12】leading 句意：看那边——有一条很长的，蜿蜒曲折的道路，一直通向那间屋子。path和lead之间是主动关系，故用leading作后置定语。
