5、一致。分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the danger,that在定语从句中作主语,所以后面的谓语动词用单数形式。3.suffering考查非谓语动词。 in a warmer world是非谓语动词短语作后置定语修饰Polar bears,Polar bears是suffer的逻辑主语,两者之间是主动关系,所以用动词-ing形式。4.has reduced考查动词时态。since 1978提示是现在完成时,主语the polar ice和reduce之间是主谓关系,且表示主动,所以是has reduced。5.survival考查名词。用名词作介词for的宾语,所以用名
6、词形式survival。6.on考查介词。walk是不及物动词,需要加一个介词。分析句子结构可知,platform是介词的逻辑宾语,因此用介词on。7.it考查代词。it指the polar ice,意思是:没有极地冰,北极熊就不能存在。8.warmer考查形容词比较级。根据下文中的speed up和less time可知,此处表示“在一个比较暖和的世界里”,因此用warm的比较级。9.Normally考查副词。这里用副词修饰全句。句意:正常情况下,它们在春天的3个月里,变胖增加脂肪以备后用。10.when考查连词。此处为when引导的非限制性定语从句。句意:脂肪在北极熊不能积极主动去打猎的时

18、 for months for the concert. They were excited that when they heard Gareth Jones was coming to present the prizes.Over 100 young performers a mixture of jazz, classical folk music.

19、 pop tune and in the hall stood up and danced the music. It was a atmosphere and a wonderful evening.剖析:动词perform与本句的主语Last weekends concert构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词performed,在句中与organized一起作后置定语。本句中的名词success意为“成功的事”,前面用a修饰,表示泛指。a great success意为“一次巨大的成功”。根据常识及下文中的They可知,一场音乐会应该由很多学生一起表演,所以使用可数名词复数形式。本句中when
20、引导的是时间状语从句,主句是They were excited,句中的that是多余的。本文讲述的是上周发生的事情,所以使用过去式played。连词or表示选择关系或用于否定句中表示并列。本句是肯定句所以使用and连接。本句的主语是one of the highlights,是单数名词作主语,所以谓语动词使用单数形式。代词anyone通常用在疑问句和否定句中,或表示个体,而everyone用在肯定句中,表示整体。本句指“所有人都站起来”,因此用everyone。短语to the music伴随着音乐。本句表示所有人都站起来随着音乐跳舞。本句中使用形容词magical作定语,修饰名词atmosp
