34、。4frighten考查词性转换。最新研究表明,即使像务农和野营这样的活动也会惊吓到动物,进而导致它们夜间变得更加活跃。情态动词can后应接动词原形,故应用名词fright的动词形式frighten。5What考查主语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导主语从句且从句中缺少主语,故用what,意为“的事物”。6carefully考查词性转换。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词。7It考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知,去掉“_7_ was”和“that”之后,句子表意完整,故该句为强调句型“It was被强调部分that其他成分”。8were published考查动词的时态和语态。
35、根据语境可知,谓语动词publish和句子的主语Results是被动关系,且根据时间状语“two months ago”可知,描述的是发生在过去的事情,故用一般过去时的被动语态。9unusual考查词形转换。先前没人对此进行过如此详细的研究,所以这些新的发现显得不同寻常,故用usual的反义词unusual。10surprised考查词性转换。此处表示主语Marlee Tucker的状态,故用形容词surprised。.书面表达(2020吉林省梅河口市高三上学期联考)4月23日是世界读书日。假定你是李华,你的美国朋友John来信询问你校读书日的相关活动,请给他写一封回信。内容包括:1主题:诵读
