Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Built

【1】will be

【1】replacing

【1】so

【1】which

【1】piling

【1】was removed

【1】With

【1】than

【1】popularity

【解析】

【1】冰屋是被建，故要用过去分词形式。

【2】前面有表示未来的时间状语In two weeks’ time，故要用将来时。

【3】look forward to中to是介词，后面要用名词或动名词作其宾语，故用replace的动名词形式。

【4】so…that…如此……以至于……。

【5】句意：它（指1991年建的冰屋）如此成功以至于他设计了目前的这个，它占地大约有200平方米。分析句子可知，是非限制性定语从句，先行词是the present one，指物，用which。

【6】spend sometime (in) doing sth.在做某事上花多少时间，in省略，pile用动名词形式。

【7】句意：当雪融化之后，基座被移走。基座是被移走，所以用被动语态。

【8】With在这里表示“具有，带有”。

【9】more…than…在这里表示“与其说……不如说……”，指冰屋与其说是放松的酒店休息，还不如说是一场生存考验。

【10】这里是作主语，所以要用名词形式。
