【1】
考查定语从句关系词。此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是28 years old,指时间,在从句中做时间状语,应用关系副词when。故填when。
【2】
考查过去分词。本句已有谓语动词entered且无连词,此处用非谓语形式,名词短语a gall bladder infection和动词cause是逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词表被动,做a gall bladder infection的后置定语。故填caused。
【3】
考查名词的数。circle(圈)是可数名词,由数词two修饰,此处用复数可数名词。故填circles。
【4】
考查连词。本句意为“他跳了起来,跑完了比赛,但由于离开跑道而被取消了参赛资格。”,前后两句表转折,应用连词but。故填but。
【5】
考查现在分词。本句已有谓语动词earned且无连词,此处用非谓语形式,主语he和动词leave是逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词(doing)表主动,作状语。故填leaving。
【6】
考查时态。事情发生在过去,本句时态为一般过去时,前面谓语动词worked用一般过去时,and表并列,此空也用一般过去时。故填won。
【7】
考查形容词最高级。本句意为“他的策略奏效了,他以20米的优势获胜,这是该项目历史上最大的胜利优势。”,此处表“最大的”应用形容词最高级largest。故填largest。
【8】
考查冠词/代词。本句意为“1972年,Keno参加了障碍赛跑,尽管他在这个项目上没有什么经验。”,项目指的是前面的“障碍赛跑”,即可表特指,用定冠词the;也可表近指,用指示代词this。故填the/this。
【9】
考查动词不定式。固定搭配be able to do sth.,意为“有能力做某事”,应用动词不定式(to do)。故填to defeat。
【10】
考查副词。副词修饰动词established,应用副词形式。故填eventually。
