Answer 1

【答案】

【1】colleague - colleagues

【2】listen - listened

【3】surprised- surprise

【4】because后加of

【5】while-when

【6】serious-seriously

【7】solving- solve

【8】them -it

【9】and 去掉

【10】 what – that/which

【解析】

【1】colleague - colleagues 考查名词单复数。短语"one of....."意为“....之一”，后面要接可数名词复数形式，所以本句使用复数名词colleagues。

【2】listen - listened 考查时态。本句中动词played his digital camera与listened to music是并列关系，都在句中做谓语动词，所以都要使用一般过去式.

【3】surprised- surprise 考查固定短语。名词surprise作为介词to的宾语构成介词短语to one's surprise让某人惊讶的是。

【4】 because后加of 考查固定搭配。连词because的后面要接句子表示原因，介词短语because of后面要接名词或名词短语表示原因，本句中his behavior是名词短语，所以要使用介词短语because of。

【5】while-when 考查固定句式。句式be doing sth when....正在做某事在这时.....；其中的when是并列连词，意为“在那时.....”，其后面的从句表示意料之外的事情。

【6】serious-seriously 考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词。本句中副词seriously在句中做状语修饰动词said。

【7】solving- solve 考查不定式。本句中不定式短语to solve the problem在句中做目的状语。

【8】 them -it 考查代词。本句中代词it指代上文提及的同一事物the host computer，表示特指。

【9】and 去掉 考查句子结构。本句是一个单独的单句，没有和其他句子构成任何关系，所以原句中的and是多余的。句意：20分钟以后，服务器恢复正常了。

【10】what – that/which 考查定语从句。本句中定语从句的先行词是the economic loss，关系代词that/which指代先行词在句中作为动词save的宾语，可以省略。
