题目解答
答案
解析
本题主要考查对所给动词词义的理解以及在不同语境中的正确运用，同时需要根据句子的时态、语态和语法结构对动词形式进行适当变化。
- “He trapped Sam in a corner of the room and ____ him fiercely for thirty seconds.”
- 解题思路：根据“fiercely（猛烈地）”和“for thirty seconds（持续三十秒）”可知，这里描述的是一种激烈的攻击动作。在所给动词中，“pummel”意为“猛击；痛打”，符合语境。又因为句子整体时态是一般过去时（“trapped”表明），所以“pummel”要变为过去式“pummeled”。
- “After hours of climbing, he had to ____ the final steep cliff of the rock hill.”
- 解题思路：句子描述的是在长时间攀爬后，对于最后陡峭悬崖的动作。“scramble”有“攀爬；艰难行进”的意思，“had to”后面接动词原形，所以填“scramble”。
- “The courtyard was ____ with fallen tree leaves.”
- 解题思路：这里表示庭院被落叶覆盖的状态。“strew”意为“撒满；散布”，“be strewn with”是固定的被动结构，表示“被……覆盖”，所以填“strewn”。
- “The audience were shocked at his strength when he ____ the thick iron bar into two halves.”
- 解题思路：根据“the thick iron bar into two halves（把粗铁棒折成两半）”可知，需要一个表示“折断”意思的动词。“snap”有“折断；突然折断”的含义，句子时态是一般过去时，所以填“snapped”。
- “The strong wind blew the little boat ____ across the sunlit surface of the bay.”
- 解题思路：这里需要一个动词来描述小船在水面上的状态。“skim”意为“掠过；滑行”，现在分词“skimming”作伴随状语，描述小船在强风吹拂下在水面上滑行的状态，所以填“skimming”。
- “The worst winter storms of the century ____ the eastern coast of China.”
- 解题思路：句子描述的是世纪以来最严重的冬季风暴对中国东海岸的影响。“lash”有“猛烈打击；猛击”的意思，句子时态是一般过去时，所以填“lashed”。
- “This country has been ____ by wars for centuries, leaving many people homeless.”
- 解题思路：根据“by wars（被战争）”可知，这里要用被动语态。“afflict”意为“使痛苦；折磨”，“has been afflicted”是现在完成时的被动语态，所以填“afflicted”。
- “They finally ____ out the bad performance out of politeness.”
- 解题思路：“sit out”是一个固定短语，意为“耐着性子看完；一直坐到……结束”，句子时态是一般过去时，所以填“sat”。
- “There was such a large crowd in the square that our car had to ____ its way out.”
- 解题思路：根据“such a large crowd（这么多人）”可知，汽车在人群中很难移动，需要缓慢前行。“inch”有“缓慢移动；一点一点地前进”的意思，“had to”后面接动词原形，所以填“inch”。
- “The little girl walked along the dark lane and sang loudly, but her voice soon ____ away.”
- 解题思路：根据“but（但是）”表示的转折以及“soon（很快）”可知，小女孩的声音逐渐消失了。“trail away”是一个固定短语，意为“逐渐减弱；逐渐消失”，句子时态是一般过去时，所以填“trailed”。
