Answer 1

【答案】

【1】looking

【2】went

【3】the

【4】if/whether

【5】angrily

【解析】这是一篇故事。一位年轻的军官需要兑换零钱，他碰巧看见一位老兵，这位年轻人举止不够礼貌，老士兵拒绝给他帮助。

【1】考查现在分词作状语。动作look的逻辑主语为句子的主语he，且为主动关系，因此用现在分词形式。

不管是现在分词还是过去分词作状语，如果单独作状语，其逻辑主语必须和主句的主语一致。分词作状语通常可以转换成一个相应的状语从句，如果状语从句中的谓语动词为被动结构，就用过去分词；如果状语从句中的谓语动词为主动结构，就用现在分词。有时为了强调，分词前可带连词when, while, if, though, as if, unless等一起作状语，以便使句子的意思更清楚、更连贯。例如：

Working hard (If you work hard), you will succeed. 如果你努力,你会成功的.

Defeated (= Though he was defeated), he remained a popular boxer. 虽然他被击败了，但他仍然是一个受人喜爱的拳击手。

【2】考查谓语动词一般过去时态。本句用并列连词so引出，此空格缺少谓语动词，根据上下文，用一般过去时态，用went。

【3】考查冠词用法。此处the表示特指，指代上文的那个年轻军官。

【4】考查连词用法。句意：老兵边掏口袋，边说，“稍等，我看看是否能帮到您。”这里表示“是否”，故填if/whether。

【5】考查副词用法。此处空格处单词作状语，修饰动词said，应用副词形式angrily。
