分析 本文通过讲述Claire与机器人Tony 的故事,旨在说明那家机器人公司在Claire家里测试机器人Tony的原因是:他们不能让女人爱上机器,想重新组建机器人.
解答 答案:
61.However 考查句意理解以及副词 本句的意思是:一家机器人公司想在克莱尔家里测试一个叫托尼的机器人,然而,克莱尔起初不同意;根据句意可知,此处表达的是转折关系,由于此处之后有逗号,故用However.
62.felt 考查时态 根据上下文都使用了一般过去时可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,故用felt.
63.more 考查固定搭配 more…than意为:"与其说是…不如说是…";本句的意思是:因为他看起来更像人而不是机器;故用more.
64.expression 考查名词 此处用在though引导的让步状语从句中作主语,指的是:机器人托尼的面部表情;故用名词expression.
65.permitted 考查过去分词 此处在句中作原因状语,由于动词permit与其逻辑主语Tony构成的是被动关系,故用permitted.
66.Unluckily 考查句意理解以及副词 此处用来修饰的是后面的整个句子,表达的意思是:不幸的是;故用Unluckily.
67.who 考查关系代词 本句为非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词Gladys Claffern指人,在该从句中作主语;故用who.
68.to be discovered 考查固定句型结构 It is/was+adj.+to do (做某事是…的);本句的意思是:被她发现是太可怕的,所以此处应使用动词不定式的被动语态;故用to be discovered.
69.an 考查固定短语 have an affair意为:有外遇;故用an.
70.in 考查固定短语 fall in love with意为:爱上,堕入情网;故用in.
