解答 16.designing;考查非谓语动词,空格前是介词about,所以空格处用动名词作介词的宾语,故用 designing.
17.unfortunately;考查副词,这里用副词作状语,结合语境分析句意应为"不幸的是他在二十多岁的时候患了一场疾病",所以用否定形式 unfortunately.
18.from;考查介词,suffer from是固定短语,意为"患…病,受…之苦",故用from.
19.which;考查关系代词,分析句子结构,这是一个非限制性定语从句,which指代he suffered from a disease that was impossible to be cured这件事.
20.and;考查连词,分析句意应为"他积极地面对不幸,并最终打破障碍",可知这里表示一种并列关系,故用
and.
21.absorbed;考查固定搭配,be absorbed in是固定短语,意为"专心致力于,全神贯注于".
22.in;考查定语从句,先行词为A Brief History of Time 这本书,句意应为"在A Brief History of Time 这本书里,他提出了…",所以关系代词which前面加in.
23.that;考查同位语从句,分析句子结构,这是一个同位语从句,故用that引导.
24.an;考查冠词,end作为"结尾,结局"讲是可数名词,这里用an泛指"一个".
25.Contributions;考查名词,分析句子结构,这里用名词作动词made的宾语,make contributions to是固定短语,意为"为…作贡献".
