【答案】
【1】awake
【2】aloud
【3】humorous
【4】musicians
【5】were watching
【解析】
【1】句意:士兵们应该吃东西以保持清醒。
根据空前“stay”,及所提供单词“wake”,可知这儿应该是表达“保持清醒”;此时stay充当系动词用,所以后接形容词,wake的形容词形式为awake,意为“清醒的”。故填awake。
【2】孩子们,请大声读。
根据句意,可知本句为祈使句;结合所提供单词loud,可知是表达“大声读”,用副词修饰动词read;loudly 是副词形式,但常与ring,knock 等动词连用,含有“喧闹”或“嘈杂”的意味;aloud意思为“出声地”或“大声地”,常用 read , call 等动词连用。本句空前为read,所以用aloud。故填aloud。
【3】句意:我们都喜欢我们的数学老师,因为他很幽默。
根据本句原因状语从句“because he is very”,可知后接形容词,结合所提供单词为名词“humor”,其形容词形式为humorous;he is very humorous他很幽默。故填humorous。
【4】句意:亚历克斯喜欢音乐。他想有一天成为世界上最著名的音乐家之一。
根据空前“one of the best-known”,可知本句是“one of the+最高级+名词复数”的表达,所提供单词为“music”,主语是he,所以这儿应该是“音乐家musician”;其复数形式为musicians。故填musicians。
【5】句意:史密斯一家昨晚这个时候正在看电视。
根据“at this time last night.” 昨天晚上这个时候,可知本句时态为过去完成时was/were doing;本句的主语是“The Smiths史密斯一家人”,是复数,所以用were doing;结合所提供单词为watch,所以用were watching。故填were watching。
【题目】阅读下列短文,根据短文内容完成表格,每空限填一词。
Now telephone, television, radio and the Internet all help people communicate with each other. As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know who wins the vote in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a TV set. When an earthquake or a flood happens in some places, news of these disasters can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites (人造卫星) that travel around the world, information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is really becoming smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between two countries took a long time. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a fight, or a war in 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided (避免). A peace agreement had already been signed (签署). Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious War of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after the peace agreement had been signed. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
With the help of modern technology, it’s much easier to get more information within a short time. Our lives are becoming faster and faster.
