分析 本文介绍了泰坦尼克号男主人公莱昂纳多•迪卡普里奥的名字的由来,学历,以及他的演艺事业;文中还重点讲到:迪卡普里奥还是一位备受关注的环保主义者,他于2010年的11月份,在俄罗斯老虎峰会上为野生动物保护协会捐赠了 100 万美元;俄罗斯总统普京曾称他是一个"真正的男人";2016年,迪卡普里奥获得了奥斯卡最佳男演员奖,在颁奖典礼上,他提到了全球气候变暖是整个人类所面临的最迫切的问题;他认为人们应该联合起来,停止分裂,要支持全世界各国的领导人治理污染,保护环境.
解答 答案:
33.attending 考查固定结构 当主句与while引导的从句中的主语一致,并且该从句中的谓语含有系动词be时,可以省略掉从句中的主语及be,使用"while doing"这一固定结构;本句的意思是:在上大学的时候,他的父母相识了;此处省略的是his parents were;故填attending
34.when 考查从属连词 本句的意思是:他之所以被起名为"莱昂纳多",是因为他母亲怀着他在一个博物馆看一幅来昂那多•达•芬奇的画时,他第一次踢了母亲的肚子;此处在句中引导的是时间状语从句;故填when
35.earning 考查现在分词 此处在句中作结果状语,由于动词earn与其逻辑主语He构成主谓关系;故用现在分词earning
36.when 考查关系副词 根据句意"1992年迪卡普里奥在荧屏上有了很大的突破,正是在那时,罗伯特•德尼罗从400名年轻演员中选中了迪卡普里奥来主演《男孩的生活》"以及空缺处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;此处用来指代前面的一整句话,在从句中作时间状语; 故用关系副词when
37.to describe 考查固定搭配 固定搭配"cause sb.to do"意为:使(导致)某人做某事;这里指的是:迪卡普里奥在连续两次遭遇飞机延误事件后仍然到达了捐赠现场,使得普京总统都把他称之为是一个"真正的男人";故填to describe
38.winning 考查动名词 此处用在名词的所有格DiCaprio's之后,应使用动名词形式;故填winning
39.facing/to face考查动名词或动词不定式短语作主语的用法 本句的意思是:所有物种面临着的是最紧迫的威胁;其中,it在本句中作形式主语,真正的主语是"(39)(face) our entire species";所以此处应使用动名词或动词不定式短语作主语;故填facing/to face
40.whose 考查关系代词 根据句意"为那些呼声被贪婪的政治淹没的人发声"可知,本句是定语从句;先行词为people,从句中的"voice"指的正是"那些人的"呼声,因此关系代词在该从句中作"voice"的定语,故填whose
