Answer 1

【答案】

【1】because

【2】making

【3】more

【4】full

【5】While

【6】seriously

【7】who

【8】or

【9】as

【10】of

【解析】

【1】because 考查連詞的使用。根據(jù)前后兩句分析可知，后者是前者的因，兩者之間構成因果關系，同時因為后面連接的是句子，故填because。

【2】making 考查短語的使用。“come to doing”是固定用法，故填making。

【3】more 考查比較級的用法。根據(jù)文中than，可知這里應該用比較級的形式，故填more。

【4】full 考查短語。“be full of”意為“充滿”，是固定用法，故填full。

【5】While 考查連詞。“while”在這里意為“然而”，表示轉(zhuǎn)折的關系，符合語境，故填While。

【6】seriously 考查副詞。修飾動詞用副詞，故填seriously。

【7】who 考查主語從句。先行詞是“foreigners”，引導詞在從句中作主語，故填who。

【8】or 考查連詞的使用。根據(jù)空格前后句子可知，兩者間構成并列關系，同時因為這里是否定句型，所以應該用or，故填or。

【9】as 考查固定句型。so...as...是固定用法，意為“如此……正如”，故填as。

【10】of 考查固定結構。“accuse sb of doing”是固定結構，意為“指責某人做某事”。故填of。
