very excited. (anticipate)
题目解答
答案
根据题意,括号中“anticipate”需转化为名词形式。其名词为“anticipation”,表示“期待”。将“anticipation”填入句中,构成“The anticipation of...”结构,表“对……的期待”。完整句子为:
The anticipation of hosting the city's biggest sporting event of the year made them feel very excited.
答案:anticipation
解析
本题考查动词转化为名词的能力,以及固定搭配的掌握。题目中需要填入的词需作主语,而括号提示词anticipate是动词,需转化为对应的名词形式。关键点在于识别句子结构中的"the + 名词 + of..."固定结构,并正确使用名词形式。

空格位于"The ___ of..."结构中,此处需要一个名词作主语。原句表达的是"对即将举办大型赛事的期待",因此需要anticipate的名词形式。 -
词性转换
anticipate的名词形式是anticipation,意为"期待、期望"。直接替换到句中即可构成正确搭配:the anticipation of hosting... -
验证逻辑
填入后句子完整通顺,anticipation与of hosting构成完整意义,表达"对举办赛事的期待",符合题意。
