5. (1.0分)
When the son reached the hospital, his father was still ____ (live).
第1空
题目解答
答案
根据题意,“was still ____”需要一个形容词。将“live”转换为“alive”更符合语法规则和语义要求。“living”虽可表“活着的”,但不如“alive”自然。完整句子为:
When the son reached the hospital, his father was still alive.
答案:alive
解析
本题考查词汇的词性转换。解题的关键在于根据句子结构和语境,判断出需要填入一个合适的形容词来描述“father”的状态。
- 首先,分析句子结构,“his father was still ____”中“was”是系动词,后面需要接表语,通常形容词可以作表语。
- 然后,考虑所给单词“live”,它有多种词性和含义。“live”作动词时表示“居住;生活”;作形容词时,读音为 /laɪv/ ,意为“活的;现场直播的”,一般用来修饰物,如“a live animal”(一只活的动物)。
- 而“alive”是形容词,读音为 /əˈlaɪv/ ,意为“活着的;有活力的”,常用来描述人或动物的状态,在句中可作表语、后置定语等。在本句中,描述“father”的状态,用“alive”更合适。
- 另外,“living”也可作形容词,意为“活着的;现存的”,但它更强调“健在的、现存的”这一概念,在描述人“活着”这种状态时,不如“alive”自然。所以综合考虑,应填入“alive”。
