解答 1.It;考查代词.句中that从句是真实的主语,it充当形式主语.
2.Because;考查连词.句意表达的是因果关系,要用Because来引导原因状语从句.
3.a;考查冠词.句中belief表达信念,是可数名词;句意表达的是泛指,要用不定冠词来限定.
4.delivered;考查过去分词作后置定语.句中deliver与dinner之间构成动宾关系,要用表示被动的过去分词作后置定语.
5.which/that;考查连词.句中provide care and adoption services是修饰organizations的一个定语从句,先行词是物,且从句中缺少主语,要用指物的关系代词which或that来连接.
6.homeless;考查形容词.句中and连接两个并列的形容词ill-treated和homeless作animals的定语,要用形容词形式.
7.for;考查动词搭配.pay for为…支付费用.
8.as;考查连词.句中as…as…构成原级比较.
9.have discovered;考查完成时态.句中有时间状语by now到目前为止,是现在完成时态的时间状语.
10.their;考查代词.句意指代的pets的主人,要用表示复数的their来指代.
