Answer 1

【答案】

【1】sometimes, best-known

【2】out, since

【3】the pizza

【4】Pizza(s) remain(s) (is/are still) one of the world's most popular fast foods

【5】are cooked

【解析】

本文介绍了比萨的发展史。

【1】

from time to time表示“有时”，同义词是sometimes“有时”。most famous表示“最出名的”，同义词是best-known“最有名的”。故答案为sometimes, best-known。

【2】

根据the pizza was taken及of the oven，可知，此空表示“比萨从烤箱里拿出来”，固定搭配：take out of“取出”，所以C空格处填out。根据句意，E空格所在句子表示“从那以后，世界上几乎每个比萨店都供应这种披萨”，句子用的是现在完成时的结构，固定搭配ever since表示“从那时起”，所以E空格处填since。故答案为out,since。

【3】

根据The queen had never eaten pizza before and said it was one of the best things she'd ever eaten“女王从未吃过比萨，并说它是她曾经吃过的最好吃的东西之一”，可知，it指代前文提到的pizza，所以空格处填the pizza。故答案为the pizza。

【4】

pizza表示“比萨”；remain表示“仍然”，动词；或still表示 “仍然”，副词；one+of+the+形容词最高级+复数名词，表示“最……之一”；popular表示“流行的”，fast food表示“快餐”，所以空格处填Pizza(s) remain(s) (is/are still) one of the world's most popular fast foods。故答案为Pizza(s) remain(s) (is/are still) one of the world's most popular fast foods。

【5】

根据句子结构，此题是要把主动句改为被动句，在被动句中：主动句的主语it作宾语，主动句的宾语these pizzas作主语，主动句的动词cooks改为被动语态is/are cooked的结构。被动句中these pizzas是复数形式，所以空格处填are cooked。故答案为are cooked。
