Answer 1

【答案】sailors；Although/Though；known；simply；unusual；was carried；Realizing；it；where；alive
【解析】本文介绍渔夫有时会捕到一些看似“怪物”的东西，其实是陌生的鱼。渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害。

⑴根据Fishermen and可知此空用名词的复数形式表示并列，所以答案是sailors。

⑵ 句意：尽管人们经常嘲笑海员们讲的故事，众所周知许多人们有时看到的这些“怪物”只不过是陌生的鱼。让步状语从句，所以答案是Although/Though。

⑶固定句式：it is known that---众所周知，所以答案是known。

⑷ 句意：众所周知许多人们有时看到的这些“怪物”只不过是陌生的鱼。副词修饰形容词，所以答案是simply。

⑸ 句意：偶尔，非同一般的生物被冲到海岸。形容词修饰名词，所以答案是unusual。

⑹句意：一条小渔船被一条咬住钩的强壮的大鱼拖到了几英里以外的海面上。根据句意可知用一般过去时态的被动语态，所以答案是was carried。

⑺ 句意：由于意识到这是条不同寻常的鱼,渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害，此处是现在分词做原因状语，所以答案是Realizing。

⑻ 句意：渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害。用it替代fish，所以答案是it。

⑼ 此处a museum是先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，所以答案是where。

⑽ 句意：目前为止很少人见过这种生物活着的样子。此处用形容词alive活着的，做主语补足语。所以答案是alive。
