Fill in the blank with the correct form of the word.
The child somehow has had that (quick) ______ at figures since he ever began to talk.
题目解答
答案
根据句子结构，这里需要将“quick”转化为合适的词性。原句是“The child somehow has had that (quick) at figures since he ever began to talk.”，这里“that”后面需要一个名词来搭配“at figures”。将“quick”变为“quickness”即可，表示“敏捷性”或“迅速”。完整句子为：
“The child somehow has had that quickness at figures since he ever began to talk.”
答案：quickness
解析
本题考查知识点为形容词与名词的词性转换。解题思路如下：
- 首先分析句子结构，在句子 “The child somehow has had that (quick) at figures since he ever began to talk.” 中，“that” 是指示代词，通常后面需要接名词来构成一个完整的表达。
- 而题目所给的 “quick” 是形容词，意为 “快的；迅速的”，不符合此处的语法要求。
- 我们需要把形容词 “quick” 转换为名词形式。“quick” 的名词形式是 “quickness”，它表示 “敏捷性；迅速”。
- 将 “quickness” 代入原句，句子 “The child somehow has had that quickness at figures since he ever began to talk.” 表达的意思是 “这个孩子不知怎么地，从他开始说话起就对数字有那样的敏捷性”，语义通顺合理。
