解答 81.than 考查比较级.根据句中more,要用介词than.
82.that 考查连词.it是形容主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句U.S.homes have some sort of pets,such as monkeys,snakes and even wolves,连词that不可省略.
83.of 考查固定搭配.get rid of意为"除掉,去掉",是固定搭配.
84.delivered 考查过去分词."have+sth (宾语)+过去分词(宾语补足语)"意为"让/叫/使/请别人做某事".宾语sth 后面用过去分词作宾语补足语,说明sth 与过去分词表示的动作之间是被动关系.
85.their 考查代词.their指代pets.
86.homeless 考查形容词.根据句意:为无家可归或受到虐待的动物提供关爱和收养服务.用形容词homeless.
87.for 考查介词.for意为"以(提及物)为目的(或功能)".
88.as 考查固定搭配.as…as意为"和…一样",表示同级的比较.使用时要注意第一个as为副词,第二个as为连词.其基本结构为:as+adj./adv.+as.
89.have discovered 考查动词时态.根据句中By now,要用现在完成时态,因主语researchers是复数,助动词用have.
90.a 考查冠词.topic是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指.
