题目解答
答案
A. interesting; interesting; 8-year-old
解析
本题主要考查形容词“interesting”和“interested”的用法区别以及复合形容词的构成。
1. 区分“interesting”和“interested”
- “interesting”意为“有趣的”,通常用来修饰事物,表示事物具有能引起人兴趣的特征。
- “interested”意为“感兴趣的”,通常用来修饰人,表示人对某事或某物产生兴趣。
2. 分析第一个空
在“Is there anything ____ in today's newspaper?”中,需要一个形容词来修饰“anything”(报纸上的内容,属于事物),所以应该用“interesting”,表示“有趣的事情”。
3. 分析第二个空
在“It's ____ to read that...”中,“It”是形式主语,真正的主语是“to read that...”,这里描述的是“读这件事”是有趣的,是事物的特征,所以要用“interesting”。
4. 分析第三个空
“8 - year - old”是复合形容词,用来修饰名词“kids”,表示“八岁的”,其中“year”要用单数形式;而“8 years old”不能作定语修饰名词,只能作表语,如“He is 8 years old.”;“8 - year - olds”这种表达是错误的。所以这里应该用“8 - year - old”。
