Answer 1

【答案】discovered；by；an；kings；working；the；opened；get；who；died
【解析】短文介绍了探险家Howard Carter探险坟墓的人生经历。
①考查谓语动词的时态。句意：在他的一生中，他发现很多重要和刺激的东西。全文是一般过去式，所以discover变为过去式discovered。
②考查介词的固定搭配。句意：1891年他坐轮船去埃及。by+交通工具意为“乘坐……”，故填by。
③考查不定冠词。句意：到20世纪20年代时，他成为了一名探险家，寻找埃及国王的坟墓。名词前用冠词，根据句意用不定冠词，且元音音素开头，故填an。
④考查可数名词变复数。句意：坟墓是复数，可知很多国王，故填kings。
⑤考查谓语动词的时态。句意：当carter团队在一个靠近名叫Luxor的地方工作时，他们发现了国王 Tutankhamun的坟墓。根据句意可知是过去进行时，故填working。
⑥考查定冠词。从第⑤小题的翻译中可知坟墓是 Tutankhamun，特指，故用定冠词the。
⑦考查被动语态。句意：在坟墓被打开后不久……。被动的结构是be done，故填opened。
⑧考查不定式。begin to do sth意为”开始做某事“，故填get。句意：carter组的成员开始生病并很奇怪的死去。
⑨考查定语从句的关系词。句意：七年内，与开墓有关的21人都死于30岁。 ________ had something to do with the opening of the tomb是定语从句修饰people，被修饰的词是人，故关系词用who或that。
⑩考查一般过去时。此处的die是作谓语，全文都是一般过去时，故填died。
