【解析】
本文是记叙文。Bethany在2003年一次冲浪中遭遇鲨鱼袭击,左臂被咬断。出院后,她继续练习冲浪并参加比赛,她还热衷于做公益帮助残疾人,她的自传《灵魂冲浪者》很受欢迎。
【1】
考查反身代词。句中主语She和宾语是同一个人,宾语用反身代词。根据she,故填herself。
【2】
考查过去分词。句意:突然,一只虎鲨袭击了她,她的左臂就在肩膀下方被咬断了。此处指“使胳膊被咬断”,“使某事被做”用have sth. done的用法,故填bitten。
【3】
考查动词时态。句中时间状语By the time和完成时连用,动作发生早于was transported,用过去完成时,故填had lost。
【4】
考查连词。此处指她在医院里待了一个星期恢复,直到最后出院。或理解为在出院前在医院待了一星期。表时间,故填before/until。
【5】
考查形容词比较级。句意:在被鲨鱼袭击后的几周内,她带着特制的更长更厚的冲浪板重返冲浪。与longer并列,此处是和以前的冲浪板相比,用比较级。故填thicker。
【6】
考查名词。此处作动词use的宾语,由形容词standard修饰,用名词。故填equipment。
【7】
考查冠词。此处特指On 31 October 2003 Bethany被鲨鱼袭击咬伤事件,表特指用定冠词。故填the。
【8】
考查定语从句。句意:2004年晚些时候,她写了自传《灵魂冲浪者》,这本书很快就成了畅销书。句中包含非限制性定语从句,先行词Soul Surfer在非限制性定语从句中作主语,that不能引导非限制性定语从句,用关系代词which引导,故填which。
【9】
考查时态和语态。根据时间In 2011,可知用一般过去时,主语a film和动词release是被动关系,此处作谓语用被动语态。故填was released。
【10】
考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词works,此处用非谓语。主语Hamilton和动词spend是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故填spending。
当分词作状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词作状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词作状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。如第10小题句中已有谓语动词works,此处用非谓语。主语Hamilton和动词spend是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故填spending。
