But the river wasn't changed in a few dayseven a few months. It took years of work (reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water. Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is(clean) than ever.
Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you leave a habitis driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?

Answer 1

【答案】wa；actually；the；or；to reduce；cleaner；hat/which；amazing；change；atient
【解析】本文是一篇议论文，你正面临着一个看起来不可能解决的情况吗？努力坚持，多一点耐心，就会有意想不到的结果。
(1) 考查时态。根据第一句“In 1969,the pollution was terrible”可知本段叙述的是过去发生的事情。the Cuyahoga River Cleveland在过去被污染地如此地严重，过去没有人能够想象倒这条河被清理干净。故填was。
(2)考查副词。本句中使用副词actually做状语修饰谓语动词caught fire，故填actually。
(3) 考查冠词。本句横线后面的most是最高级的形式，所以使用the most outstanding的形式，故填the。
(4)考查连词。但是这条河流的改变不是几天或者几个月的事情。本句中的or“或者”表示选择的意思，故填or。
(5) 考查非谓语动词。It takes sb some time to do sth.固定短语，“做某事花了某人......时间”；句中的不定式to reduce he industrial pollution and clean the water是句子真正的主语。前面的it是形式主语。故填to reduce。
(6)考查形容词。句意：最后人们的努力得到了回报，现在这条河比以前更干净了。横线后面有than，说明横线上应该使用比较级的形式，故填cleaner。
(7)考查定语从句。 本句是一个定语从句，先行词是a habit，定语从句中使用关系动词that/which指代先行词在句做主语，故填that/which。
(8)考查形容词。现在分词转换的形容词常常修饰事物，过去分词转换的形容词常常修饰人或者与人有关的事物。横线后面是名词story，说明应该使用现在分词转换的形容词，故填amazing。
(9)考查名词。本句中谓语部分是系动词are，说明主语应该是一个复数形式的名词，所以使用changes。
(10)考查形容词。横线前面有系动词be，说明本句是一个祈使句be patient耐心一点。因为很多变化都是逐渐发生的，需要很多努力，我们要耐心一点，故填patient。
