答案:
71. hang 意作“懸掛”時,時態(tài)變化“hang,hung,hung”;意作“吊死,該死”時,時態(tài)變化為“hang ,hanged ,hanged”。此處作“懸掛”講,且全篇敘述都用的是過去時,所以應該使用過去式hung。
72. “warn sb of sth ”為固定搭配,所以將from改成of。
73. 定語從句中,如先行詞后出現(xiàn)逗號,為非限制性定語從句,則關系代詞應用which。
74. “tired”不是動詞,是分詞形式的形容詞。一個句子中不可能沒有謂語動詞,所以填上一個“were”,因為“be tired”表示“勞累”。
75. “B.ut today ”暗示這句話應轉為現(xiàn)在時,所以應把過去式sent改成現(xiàn)在時send。
76. “modern lighthouse”辯認identify 的對象是它自己,所以應該使用反身代詞itself。
77. 此句意思是“l(fā)ight”像“giant firefly ”,as不表示“像”的意思,所以將其改成like。
78. 動詞變成形容詞修飾名詞時,如果與名詞是主謂關系,動詞變成-ing形式,如果與名詞是動賓關系,動詞變成過去分詞形式。“l(fā)ight”與“revolve”應是主謂關系,所以應用動名詞形式revolving來修飾名詞light。
79. How 與however后面直接接形容詞,然后再加名詞,如:How beautiful the flowers are !what 與whatever后面直接接名詞,如:What beautiful flowers!此句應用whatever,因為 其后緊跟著一個名詞“the signal”。
80. and 前后句子結構對稱,“cet6w.com it is ”與“where it isolated”對稱,不需要being。另外,此處強調(diào)的是狀態(tài),不是動作,“being”表示正在定位于何處。
