Answer 1

【答案】

【1】weeping

【2】Eventually

【3】to be told

【4】frightened

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】考查固定短语。find sb.doing sth.发现某人正在干某事，根据句意是我发现女儿坐在床上正在哭，故填weeping

【2】考查词语变形。根据句子she was comforted 要修饰动词，只有用副词，故要将eventual 变为副词形式，故填Eventually

【3】考查语态。根据句子It’ always strange 66 (tell) that you are a year older 应是被告知长大了一岁，另固定句型it is…to do …故将to do变为to be done表示被动，故填to be told

【4】考查词语变形。根据句子sometimes still makes me 68 (frighten)使我感到惊恐，此处应用形容词，故将动词frighten变为形容词，故填frightened
