Ⅰ.语法单句填空

1．(2013·新课标全国Ⅰ改编)The sunlight is white and blinding, ________(throw) hard­edged shadows on the ground.

答案：throwing　考查非谓语动词。句意：阳光明亮而刺眼，在地上投射出轮廓清晰的影子。throw这一动作和主语sunlight之间是主动关系，且强调一种自然的结果，所以应用动词－ing的主动形式。

2．(2012·四川改编)It's surprising that your brother pick ________ Russian so quickly—he hasn't lived there very long.

答案：up　句意：真令人惊讶，你哥哥这么快就学会了俄语——他在那没住多长时间。pick up拾起，捡起，学会。

3．There appeared an ________(astonish) look on her face on hearing the ________(astonish) story.

答案：astonished; astonishing　考查非谓语动词。句意：听了那个令人吃惊的故事，她的脸上露出吃惊的表情。表示情感变化的动词的过去分词常用来修饰说明人或人的表情(look，expression)、声音(voice)、微笑(smile)等，这类动词的－ing形式常用来修饰说明事物。

4．________(convince) of his honesty, we decided to depend on him ________(carry) out the secret order.

答案：Convinced; to carry　考查非谓语动词。句意：因为坚信他的诚实，所以我们决定依靠他来执行这道密令。be convinced of坚信，确信，在此处作原因状语，要用过去分词形式；carry out执行；depend on sb. to do sth.依靠某人做某事，为固定句型。
