[语篇解读] 本文介绍了英国诗人罗伯特·彭斯的一些情况。
9.解析:
由句中的关键词style可知应填in,表示某事完成或发生的方式。
答案:
in
10.解析:
此处修饰动词,故用副词形式。
答案:
locally
11.解析:
此处是which引导的非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语。
答案:
which
12.解析:
“hisfamewasnotaccompaniedbymoney”和上一段最后一句中的“madehimfamousinScotlandovernight”之间存在逻辑上的转折关系,因此用However。
答案:
However
13.解析:
此处it作形式宾语,necessary是宾语补足语,动词不定式短语toreturntofarming是真正的宾语。
答案:
it
14.解析:
空处表示“当……的时候”,故用When。
答案:
When
15.解析:
poorworkingconditions和date之间是主谓关系,因此用动词的ing形式。
答案:
dating
16.解析:
此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
答案:
tosupport
17.解析:
句子主语memory和动词celebrate之间是动宾关系,主语是单数形式,时间状语是Today,因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
答案:
iscelebrated
18.解析:
句中的unofficial“NationalDay”是泛指,故在unofficial前加不定冠词an。
答案:
an
Ⅲ.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
