Answer 1

【答案】

1.an

2.two

3.reading

4.next

5.why

6.One

7.while

8.but

9.I

10.to

【解析】

1.an　考查冠词。class此处为可数名词单数形式，其前须用冠词。再根据此处表泛指，而English是以元音音素开头，故填an。

2.2】two　考查数词。根据本句中“which one was better”以及下文“After … both”中both的提示可推断此处表示“两个短篇故事”，故填two。

3.reading　考查动名词。after 是介词，括号中所给词是动词，故只能填动名词reading。

4.4】next　考查形容词。根据该空修饰名词months，应填形容词，再由语境可知，此处表示“在接下来的几个月”，故填next。

5.5】why　考查名词性从句引导词。根据上文“discuss which one was better”可推断，教授是给我们讲解为什么其中一个故事要比另一个故事好，故填why。

6.6】One　考查不定代词。由语境可知，故事有两个，再根据习惯搭配“one...the other...”可推断填One。

7.7】while　考查并列连词，while表示前后对比的意思。

8.8】but　考查连词。根据“humorous”和“too shallow”在逻辑上的转折关系可推断，此处填连词but连接两个形容词。

9.9】I　考查人称代词。根据该空在句中作主语可判断应填名词或代词。结合语境可知该空应指作者本人，故填I。

10.0】to　考查介词。lead to为固定搭配，意为“导致”。
