Ⅴ.1.diseases 考查名词的数。句意:霍乱曾经是世界上最可怕的疾病之一……。分析句子结构可知,本题考查“one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”结构,故填diseases。
2.a 考查冠词。句意:霍乱作为当时一种致命的疾病,威胁着普通人(的生命)。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,设空处应用不定冠词表泛指,表示一种致命的疾病,且deadly以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。
3.frightened 考查词性转换。句意:每次霍乱暴发,都会有大批惊恐的人病死。分析句子结构可知,设空处作定语修饰名词people,故用形容词frightened,意为“惊恐的,害怕的”。
4.to solve 考查动词不定式。句意:约翰·斯诺下定决心要解决这个问题。be determined to do...意为“下定决心做……”,故填to solve。
5.possibly 考查词性转换。句意:有两种理论可能解释了人们是如何被感染的。分析句子结构可知,设空处作状语修饰动词explained,故应填副词possibly,意为“可能地”。
6.subscribed 考查动词的时态。句意:约翰·斯诺赞同霍乱是由食物或水中的细菌感染引起的这一理论。分析句子结构可知,设空处充当主句的谓语,由语境可知用一般过去时,故填subscribed。subscribe to意为“同意,赞成”。
7.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:他在地图上标出了那些地方,这给了他一条关于疾病起因的有价值的线索。分析句子结构可知, 7 gave him...the disease是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的主句,故用关系代词which。
8.because 考查连词。句意:一些家庭没有死亡病例,因为这些人喝免费的啤酒。由句意可知此处应填because,引导原因状语从句。
9.to blame 考查固定搭配。句意:似乎水泵是罪魁祸首。be to blame意为“应负责任;应受责备”,故填to blame。
易错分析
在该题中学生会因为空前的was而认为是被动语态,从而错填成blamed。因此,在学习中要牢记短语“be to blame”,用不定式的主动形式表示被动意义,表示“应受责备”。
10.was defeated 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:最终“霍乱王”被打败了。分析句子结构可知,设空处作谓语,因为叙述过去发生的事,故用一般过去时。由句意可知,这种疾病是被打败,故用被动语态。故填was defeated。
