解答 41.on 42.it 43.angry 44.are called 45.especially 46.lighter 47.when 48.twentieth 49.that/which 50.the
41.on.考查介词. be based on 以…为基础. 许多日常美国习语是建立在颜色的基础之上的,故答案为on.
42.it.考查代词. 根据前面一句Red is a hot color可知,此处的it代替前文提到的red. 故答案为it.
43.angry.考查词形转换.根据前面一句They may say they are red hot about something unfair可知,当人们遇到不公平的事情时,会很气愤,结合句子结构可知用形容词作表语;very副词修饰形容词. 故答案为angry.
44.are called.考查时态语态.被称为"炽热". 这是一种因色彩和独特的口味而名字叫red hots的食品,故答案为are called.
45.especially.考查词形转换.especially为副词作状语,修饰全句,本句实际是省略句. 故答案为especially.
46.lighter.考查比较级.粉红色是比较浅一点的红色;所以用light的比较级形式.故答案为lighter.
47.when.考查引导词.when引导的时间状语从句;当他们健康的时候,人们就说they are in the pink.故答案为when.
48.twentieth.考查数词.20世纪是第20世纪,应用序数词.at the beginning of the twentieth century在20世纪早期.故答案为twentieth.
49.that/which.考查定语从句.本句是定语从句,引导词在从句中作主语,并且先行词是color,表示"物". 故答案为that/which.
50.the.考查冠词.the opposite of 在…的对立面.故答案为the.
