33、on and strong willpower.第一处:考查动词的时态。根据本句的时间状语“in the past two years”可知,此处应用现在完成时。故加has。第二处:考查副词。根据句子所使用的一般过去时可知,此处是指两年前。ago立足现在,表示从现在起的2年前;before立足过去,表示从过去某一时刻起的2年前。此处应用ago。第三处:考查副词。easy是形容词,意为“容易的”; easily是副词,意为“容易地”。此处应用副词修饰动词词组“got tired”,意为“很容易劳累”。故用easily。第四处:考查定语从句。根据句型结构分析可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,不能用t
34、hat引导,所以用which指代前面的整句话;或者在that前加and,构成and连接的两个并列句。故用which/and that。第五处:考查连词。unless意为“除非”,相当于if.not;if意为“如果”。根据句意可知,后来他意识到如果他继续那样,他将什么也不会获得。故用if。第六处:考查非谓语动词。end up doing sth.意为“以做某事而告终”,此处应用动名词。故用achieving。第七处:考查固定搭配。make up ones mind to do sth.是固定短语,意为“下定决心做某事”,mind的单复数由ones决定,因为这里是his,所以用单数。故用mind。
35、第八处:考查冠词。球类名词前不加冠词。play basketball意为“打篮球”。故去掉the。第九处:考查连词。or意为“或者”,表示选择;and意为“和”,表示并列。此处“more vegetables”和“less meat”是并列的。故用and。第十处:考查代词。根据语境可知,此处指代上文中的“problems”,所以用them。As we drew closer,I could _see a whale being attacked_ by a pack of about six other killers.随着我们的逼近,我能看见一条鲸鱼正被其他6条虎鲸袭击。“see a wha
