分析 文章讲述了一个名叫Sarah的大学生,因为脑部受伤失去了说话的能力.但在医生和护士的精心医治和照顾下,她恢复了说话的能力,同时也恢复了记忆.
解答 答案:81.communicate;考查句意推断.前面说她因为脑部受伤不能说话,后面说她通过眨眼睛对问题作出反馈,可以推断出句意表达的是她通过眨眼睛和人们交流;communicate位于不定式符号后,要用动词原形.
82.but;考查连词.从后面They feared that the family would get their hopes up他们担心Sarah的家人绝望,可以推断出他们虽然集中会诊,但没有告诉她的家人,要用表示转折关系的连词but来构成.
83.disappointed;考查句意理解.前面说They feared that the family would get their hopes up他们担心Sarah的家人绝望,可以知道如果Sarah不能恢复说话的能力,他们也许会失望;disappoint表示人的感受,要用ed构成的形容词disappointed来表示.
84.surprise;考查句意推断.从后面but she just couldn't wait that long可以知道她迫不及待地想要给她的父母一个惊喜;surprise sb给某人惊喜.
85.words;考查句意理解.句意表达的是她记下来说的话是:"妈妈,你好.";要用名词复数words指说出的话.
86.again;考查句意理解.文章一开始说她不能说话,他们因为再也不能听到她的声音了;again再一次,又一次.
87.test;考查句意理解.前面说At the same time,they discovered that Sarah also got her memory back她开始恢复记忆,可以知道当人们问起她过去的事情时,她通过了测试;要用名词test测试.
