【解析】
试题分析:文章讲述六个人被困在矿底下,救援人员对他们的施救过程。
【1】lives;句意:如果他们没有能够被带到地面,很快就会失去生命。因为是their所以名词life用复数。
【2】proving;然而,救援工作证明是很难的。Prove表示“证明是”的时候,是连系动词,不能用被动,和be动词连用应该用proving。
【3】to collapse;如果使用爆炸,震动会导致矿场的顶部倒塌。这里使用了cause sb to do sth.
【4】a;他们打算用一个特殊的胶囊将矿工从下面带上来。用不定冠词a,泛指“一个特殊的胶囊”。
【5】If;如果在泥土下面没有一层厚厚的岩石层,他们就会在几小时之内完成这个工作。这里用if引导条件状语从句。
【6】was lowered;同时,一个麦克风被放低进入煤矿里面。这里需要动词lower“放低”,因为是被动关系,用was lowered。
【7】and; 虽然他们的水和食物快用完了。Food和drink是并列关系。用and.
【8】cheerful; 这些人很兴奋,相信很快就能出去了.这里需要形容词.填cheerful.
【9】smoothly; 他们被告知救援工作进展很顺利。修饰副词:progressing应该用副词.
【10】through; 如果他们知道很难钻通坚硬的岩石,他们就会灰心了.这里用介词“through”,表示“穿过”。
