Answer 1

【答案】

【1】before

【2】his

【3】to leave

【4】closer

【5】how

【6】carefully

【7】to promise

【8】to follow

【9】with

【10】to say

【解析】

【1】 before 句意表示在他去世之前的几天，因此用时间状语连词before。

【2】his 修饰名词bed要用形容词性物主代词，因此用his。

【3】to leave 考查ask的用法，ask sb. to do sth.表示“要求某人做某事”，动词要用不定式形式。

【4】closer 句意：他让我挪一下椅子，再靠近他的床一点。a little bit常用来修饰比较级，表示“更加……”，此处表示“更加靠近他的床”。

【5】 how 询问年龄用how old，意为“多大了”。

【6】carefully 修饰动词listen用副词形式，listen carefully“认真听”。

【7】to promise 见第3题解析。

【8】to follow 考查tell的用法，tell sb. to do sth.表示“告诉某人去做某事”，动词要用不定式形式。

【9】with 短语talk with sb. about sth.意为“和某人聊某事”。

【10】to say见第3题解析。
