When the massive buildings 21) _ ,most people died instantly . Only a few injured people were brought out from the debris.
题目解答
答案
填入"collapsed"。
When the massive buildings__,可知,从句缺谓语动词,表述建筑物情况/状态,根据"most people died instantly . Only a few injured people were brought out from the debris."大多数人当场死亡。只有几个受伤的人从废墟中被救了出来。可知空缺处表示"倒塌/坍塌"的意思,时态是过去时
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查动词的选择,需要根据上下文语境和逻辑关系,选择恰当的动词形式。
解题核心:通过分析句子结构和语境,明确空缺处需要表达“建筑物倒塌”的含义,并注意时态的匹配(过去时)。
关键点:
- 空缺处需填入谓语动词,使句子完整。
- 根据后文“most people died instantly”和“brought out from the debris”,推断建筑物发生了严重坍塌。
- 时态需与上下文一致(如“died”“were brought”均为过去时)。
-
分析句子结构
句子主干为“When the massive buildings __, most people died instantly”,空缺处需填入谓语动词,描述建筑物的状态变化。 -
推断语境逻辑
后文提到“大多数人当场死亡”和“少数人从废墟中被救出”,说明建筑物发生了坍塌或倒塌,导致灾难性后果。 -
选择恰当动词
- “collapsed”(坍塌)最符合语境,强调建筑物因结构破坏而突然倒塌。
- 其他选项如“fell”(倒下)或“crumbled”(崩塌)虽可能,但“collapsed”更贴切建筑物整体坍塌的语境。
-
验证时态
上下文动词为“died”(过去时)和“were brought”(被动语态过去时),因此空缺处需用过去时形式“collapsed”。
