Answer 1

【答案】

【小题1】are protected

【小题2】rapidly

【小题3】strangers

【小题4】cleaned

【小题5】Having

【解析】

试题分析：

【小题1】考查动词的被动形式。Be.+V-ed表示被……。在此的意思是“很多人在旅游旺季出门旅游，但是不能保证他们的屋子是安全的”。因为前面的主语是their houses and homes，所以谓语用are，故用are protected。

【小题2】考查副词。副词修饰形容词或者动词。在此的意思是“在冬季和夏季旅游季节期间，犯罪率上升迅速”。这里rapidly修饰动词短语goes up，故填rapidly。

【小题3】考查词语的转换，形容词变名词。在此的意思是“时常让陌生人感觉有屋子里有人”。因此strange变为strangers，故用strangers。

【小题4】考查动词的被动形式。Be.+V-ed表示被……，动词的被动形式。在此的意思是“在冬季时把你的台阶或车道上的雪清理干净”。因此动词用-ed形式，故用cleaned。

【小题5】考查非谓语动词(主要指不定式或动名词)作主语。在此的意思是“一大摞的报纸和其他邮件堆在你的门前会让别人意识到你不在家”。动名词作主语表示一般或抽象的多次性动作。根据句意判断选择动名词形式having。
