Answer 1

【答案】

【1】built

【2】the

【3】ability

【4】using

【5】slowly

【6】to cool

【7】at

【8】goes

【9】natural

【10】how

【解析】试题分析：土坯房比现在的房子好在冬暖夏凉。现代的建筑师都很羡慕这样的房子不用空调就能很好地调节室内的温度，不过关键是这房子的墙的厚度。

【1】built 动词build和定语The adobe dwellings是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用其过去分词built做定语。

【2】the 形容词最高级most modern前加the。

【3】ability 代词their后接名词，所以用able的名词形式ability.

【4】using 介词without后接动名词use去掉字母e再加-ing。

【5】slowly 用slow的副词形式slowly修饰动词give out.

【6】to cool 形容词加enough后接不定式。

【7】at at the same time是固定词组。

【8】goes 根据上下文，此处用一般现在时态。这种循环日复一日。

【9】natural 形容词做定语修饰名词architects。

【10】how 根据句意，应用how修饰形容词thick，连接宾语从句。
