单句语法填空
1.Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt that they were in (safe).
safety 解析:句意:维苏威火山几个世纪以来都没有爆发过,所以庞培的人们感到他们是安全的。in safety意为“安全”,是固定短语。
2.The Theater District is a popular tourist (attract) in New York City.
attraction 解析:句意:剧院区是纽约一个很受欢迎的旅游胜地。设空处作is的表语,其前有不定冠词a及popular tourist修饰,应用名词单数。
3.At first people there found the Chinese and their work very strange. My father often saw people running after trains out of (curious).
curiosity 解析:句意:起初,那里的人们发现中国人和他们的工作很奇怪。我父亲经常看到人们出于好奇而追赶火车。介词of后应使用名词,此处是短语out of curiosity“出于好奇”。
4.The boy gave his classmate a (describe) of what he had seen on his way to school.
description 解析:空格前有不定冠词,空格后有介词of,故此处填名词。
5.People who are farsighted can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at an arm’s (long).
length 解析:此处表示除非放在一臂远的距离外。因此此处是跟在所有格arm’s后,名词的所有格修饰名词,所以此处应填名词length。
