【3】surprised
【4】save
【5】destroyed
【6】who
【7】for
【8】possibly
【9】beginning
【10】thinking
【解析】
【1】. found 考查时态。根据上下文可知本文讲述一个过去发生的故事,时态用一般过去时。
【2】 nor 考查固定搭配。neither…nor…意为“既不……也不……”。
【3】 surprised 考查-ed结尾的形容词。 此处surprised用作系动词look的表语,修饰主语his son,表示人的情感;surprising修饰事物,表达事物的性质。
【4】 save 考查why not句型。why not do sth.意为“为什么不……”,其中的动词用原形。
【5】 destroyed 考查过去分词。根据句意可知此处表示被动,故用destroy的过去分词形式。
【6】 who 考查定语从句。who had heard their conversation是非限制性定语从句,关系词who修饰先行词Nick’s guests。
【7】 to 考查介词。explain sth. to sb.向某人解释某物。
【8】 possibly 考查副词。修饰动词destroy要用副词形式。
【9】beginning 考查名词。beginning“开始,开端”,短语in the beginning表示“起初”。
【10】 thinking 考查现在分词。现在分词短语thinking that…作伴随状语,和主语之间是主动关系。
