Answer 1

【答案】

【1】that

【2】for

【3】stopping

【4】severely

【5】why

【6】so/and

【7】chose

【8】both

【9】a

【10】succeeded

【解析】

【1】that 考查同位語從句。這里含有一個同位語從句，且引導詞在從句中不作任何成分，也沒有實際意義，故用that。句意：她喜歡開快車，并且吹噓她在35年的駕駛中，沒有一次因駕駛錯誤被處罰過。

【2】for 句意：在她35年的駕駛中，從來沒有因為駕駛錯誤受到處罰。這里根據(jù)句意表示“因為”，故用介詞for。

【3】stopping 考查動名詞。介詞之后用動詞的-ing形式。句意：警察看到她通過紅燈沒有停下來。故用stopping。

【4】severely 句意：法官嚴肅地看著她，說她年齡太大不能再開車了。這里用副詞修飾動詞look，故用severely。

【5】why 這里構(gòu)造定語從句，關(guān)系詞作狀語表示原因，故用why。句意：她沒在紅燈停下來的原因非常有可能是她的眼睛因為年齡變的弱了。

【6】so/and 句意：（因而）她只是沒看見。根據(jù)句意及上下句之間的關(guān)系，可知這里用連詞so/and。

【7】chose 句意：沒說一句話，她選擇了一根只有很小的針眼的針，一次穿上了線。這里根據(jù)上下文可知是一般過去時，故用chose。

【8】both 考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)both...and。句意：她把線從針里拿出來，把針和線都遞給法官。根據(jù)固定搭配，可知這里用both。

【9】a 句意：我猜你的車開的很好，那你的眼睛肯定沒問題了。這里可數(shù)名詞car泛指，故前面加冠詞a。

【10】succeeded考查時態(tài)。句意：法官嘗試了幾次之后，仍然不能成功。這里用過去完成時，故用過去分詞succeeded。
