题目:
1. When he arrived, he found________________________( 只有老年人和生病的人) at home.
2. All flights____ (因暴风雪而取消), we decided to take the train.
3. The writer_____________ (如此专心致志地写作) that he forgot to tap the ashes from his cigar.
1.【答案】none but the aged and the sick/only the aged and the sick
【解析】本题考查none but结构及形容词名词化用法的掌握。none but…意为“仅仅,只”。“定冠词the+形容词”可以表示一类人。类似的用法还有:the wealthy(富人),the poor(穷人),the handicapped(残疾人)等。
2.【答案】having been canceled because of the snowstorm
解析:本题考查对独立主格结构的掌握。前后分句主语不同且没有连接词,所以考虑用独立主格做状语表示原因。独立结构的构成方式为:名词/代词(与句子的主语不同)+分词/形容词/副词/不定式/介词(短语)。flights与cancel之间是被动关系,且cancel这一动作发生在主句谓语decided的动作之前,所以谓语部分应用分词的被动完成式.
3.【答案】was so absorbed in his writing
解析:本题考查对短语be absorbed in sth./doing sth.的掌握,该短语意为“全神贯注于…,专心于…”。so强调程度深,与that构成so…that…句型,表示“如此…以至于…”o
