Answer 1

【答案】

【1】spent

【2】top

【3】by

【4】expensive/bad

【5】Though/Although

【解析】

文章大意：短文是一封信，主要叙述了作者在纽约的所见所为。

【1】句意：那之前，我们在纽约花费了十天时间。 根据句意，空处的词应为动词，结合宾语ten days，空处的词应为“花费spend”， 句子时态是一般过去式，所以动词应用它的过去式spent，故答案为spent。

【2】句意：我们爬到了顶部。

空处的词在冠词the之后，应为名词；结合句意，应为“顶部、顶端”，故答案为top。

【3】句意：我们乘小船沿河去看自由女神像。

根据句意空处的词和boat表示句中动作的方式，应为介词by乘坐，故答案为by。

【4】句意：油画不贵/错，因此我买了一副。根据后句的意思可知，空处的词应为“贵/不好”，英文为expensive/bad，故答案为expensive/bad。

【5】句意：虽然结局很伤心，但是我很喜欢。

根据前后句意思可知，两句具有转折的意思，所以前句用“虽然though/although”引导，故答案为Though/Although。
