31、be考查不定式做宾语的用法。bethoughttobe.意为“被认为是”。2.Having spent考查动词-ing形式做状语的用法。设空处做状语,又因为he与spend之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且spend所表示的动作发生在主句谓语动作之前,故填Havingspent。3.became考查一般过去时。由后面的in1928可知,设空处是对过去事实的描述,应用一般过去时,故填became。4.written考查过去分词做定语的用法。books后跟定语,又因为write与books之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且write所表示的动作已完成,故填written。5.songs考查名词复数。由后面的are可知,应填名词复数形式songs。6.on/upon考查介词。bebasedon/upon意为“以为基础”。7.him考查代词。设空处做helped的宾语,故填him。8.successful考查形容词做表语的用法。设空处做表语,意为“成功的”,故填successful。9.that/which考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词company,且在从句中做主语,故填that或which。10.the考查固定短语。attheageof.意为“在岁时”。
