【答案】
【1】has
【2】but
【3】after
【4】or
【5】useless
【6】that
【7】Yet
【8】unlucky
【9】so
【10】those/the
【解析】
【1】has 首先要对该句进行主谓宾的句法分析,发现主语和宾语都有,缺少一个谓语,根据句意和时态,所以填写has。
【2】but 考查语境分析及上下文关系,此句子与上文之间表示转折关系,所以用but,不能使用however,因为若使用however必须后面跟一个逗号。
【3】after 句子是想表明发生地震几个小时之后,所以填写after。
【4】or 该空前面两个词都是动词,所以填写一个连接词,但是要明确是转折,并列,还是选择关系,根据语境可以判断是选择关系。
【5】useless 根据下午的“gone...”说明,地震后的轨道系统都失去作用了,所以将use变为useless。
【6】that 本题考查定语从句的连接词,因为前面有限定成分,所以只能填写that,不能填写which。
【7】Yet 根据语境,这里想表达的是一个前后对比的关系,所以用yet。
【8】unlucky 因为这个城市发生地震了,所以是不幸的,将lucky变为反义词unlucky。
【9】so so that...以便,以至于...考查固定搭配
【10】those/the 该空缺少一个主语,所以既可以用复数形式those代词,也可以用the killed(死去的人)表示,两者都可以。
【题目】Westminster Abbey, founded in 1065, was the King’s place of residence until the 16th century. Since 1066, the Norman Conquest, it has been the “Royal church”—the place where kings and queens are crowned when they take the throne(即位).
It has also been the site of many royal weddings and funerals. King George VI, got married there in 1923; twenty four years later, his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip there; on April 29, 2011, Prince William also married Kate Middleton there. While fourteen years ago, the funeral service for Princess Diana, William’s mother, took place there.
It is also famous for its Poets’ Corner, which has been the traditional burial ground of the most famous English poets, writers and playwrights.
Today it is still a working church dedicated to regular worship and to the celebration of great events in the life of the nation. All are welcome to attend the regular services.
