Answer 1

【答案】

【1】John prefers watching documentaries to reading science fiction.

【2】Not until he finished his experiment，did the scholar leave the laboratory and locked the door.

【3】To avoid embarrassment, Yao Ming pretended to be playing on his phone while taking the subway，which seems reasonable.

【解析】

【1】读科幻小说：read science fiction；看纪录片：watch documentaries；根据prefer+ doing+ to+ doing表示“宁愿做什么而不愿做什么”；主语是“John”，所以谓语动词用三单，故答案为John prefers watching documentaries to reading science fiction.

【2】根据句意，此句用一般过去时。做完实验：finished his experiment；实验室：left the laboratory；锁上了门：locked the door；not until谓语句首时要用倒装结构“Not until+从句+倒装的主句”。故答案为Not until he finished his experiment，did the scholar leave the laboratory and locked the door.

【3】为了避免尴尬to avoid embarrassment；搭乘地铁时：while taking the subway；假装正在玩手机：pretended to be playing on his phone；似乎合理：seem reasonable；主语是Yao Ming；此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代“playing on the phone”，在从句中做主语。故答案为To avoid embarrassment, Yao Ming pretended to be playing on his phone while taking the subway，which seems reasonable.
