試題分析：《奧德賽》中的主人公奧狄修斯曾經(jīng)拒絕了舒適的生活，選擇去幫助另一個希臘的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者并且加入了戰(zhàn)爭中。戰(zhàn)爭總是乏味卻又拖延得無法結(jié)束，奧狄修斯便提出可以使用一個詭計來結(jié)束戰(zhàn)爭，他的目的實現(xiàn)了，可是戰(zhàn)爭對人們帶來的傷害才剛剛開始。

【1】written考查被動語態(tài)。作品是被作者寫的，與作者之間是被動關(guān)系，在此句中做定語限定literary，填written。

【2】his考查人稱代詞。由句意可推斷此處是把他的妻子帶回去，由前句主語he和后面wife可知此處應(yīng)該用his，填his。

【3】dragged考查時態(tài)。前句rejected和后句was都說明此處應(yīng)該用過去時態(tài)，填dragged。

【4】changeable考查固定搭配。so+形容詞+that構(gòu)成如此……以至于的短語，change應(yīng)該用其形容詞，填changeable。

【5】who考查關(guān)系代詞。在賓語從句中缺少賓語，人稱代詞who代指人，填who。

【6】when考查狀語從句。根據(jù)句意，當他們在開會的時候他提出了一個建議，句中不缺主語謂語和其它成分，使用when構(gòu)成時間狀語從句，填when。

【7】an考查不定冠詞用法。opportunity作為時機是不可數(shù)名詞，而作為機會是可數(shù)名詞。文中take opportunity是抓住機會，opportunity是可數(shù)名詞，填an。

【8】were discouraged考查方式狀語從句。as if引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句，后接過去時態(tài)。根據(jù)句意他們假裝離開，好像是被戰(zhàn)爭消滅了勇氣，是被動語態(tài)，填were discouraged。

【9】for考查介詞。for在這里表目的，此句意為他們祈求上帝保佑他們有好運氣，填for。

【10】announcing考查定語從句。此句本來是由which引導(dǎo)的定語從句，用來修飾warning bell。當去掉關(guān)系代詞which句中又是主動，應(yīng)該在動詞后加ing，填announcing。
