28、甘地年轻时求学英国，回国之后带领印度人民为独立而战，受到印度人民的热爱，最终却被反对者射杀。1an句意：甘地，一位印度民族英雄，被誉为印度国父。根据句意可知，此处表泛指，同时名词hero前有以元音音素开头的形容词修饰，故填不定冠词an。2married句意：遵循当地风俗，他十三岁时就结婚了。动词get后接动词的过去分词形式，表状态。故填过去分词married。3studied句意：1888年，他乘船去了英国并在那里学了三年法律，后来成了一名律师。根据In 1888可知，事情发生在过去，故用动词study的过去式。4was sent句意：一回到印度，他就被派到南非去处理一个法律案件。根据句意可知
29、，动词send与主语之间为被动关系，故填was sent。5racial句意：在南非，他惊讶地发现种族歧视问题很严重。修饰名词用形容词形式，故填名词race的形容词形式racial。6for句意：他在那里成立了一个组织并创办了一份杂志，为平等的权利而斗争。fight for为固定搭配，意为“为了而斗争”。7when句意：甘地在1915年回到印度，当时印度被英国统治。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句修饰先行词1915，并在定语从句中作时间状语，故填when。8independence句意：他带领印度人民为结束英国统治、获得国家独立而斗争。并列连词and连接两个相同的成分，其前是名词，故设空处也用名词形式。根据句意可知应填independence，意为“独立”。9However句意：在这场政治运动中，包括甘地在内的很多印度人都被关进了监狱。然而，斗争远远没有结束。根据句意可知，此句与上句之间为转折关系，且设空处后有逗号，故填However。10Unfortunately句意：不幸的是，甘地被一个反对他观点的印度人射杀，于1948年1月30日去世。评注性状语用副词形式，根据句意可知应填形容词fortunate的副词形式Unfortunately。
