题目解答
答案
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规则。
第一空
“interesting”和“interested”都与“兴趣”有关,但用法不同。“interesting”常用来修饰物,表示“有趣的”;“interested”常用来修饰人,表示“感兴趣的”。在“Is there anything _____ in today's newspaper?”这个句子中,“anything”是物,需要用“interesting”来修饰,说明报纸上有有趣的事情,所以第一空应填“interesting”。
第二空
在“It's ____ to read that a group of ____ kids joined the volunteers.”这个句子中,“It”是形式主语,真正的主语是“to read that a group of _____ kids joined the volunteers”,描述的是“读这件事”是有趣的,“读这件事”是物,所以要用“interesting”来修饰,即第二空填“interesting”。
第三空
“8 - year - old”是复合形容词,用来修饰名词,其中“year”要用单数形式,“8 - year - old”表示“8岁的”,可以修饰“kids”,即“8岁的孩子”;而“8 years old”不能直接修饰名词,“8 - year - olds”这种表达是错误的。所以第三空应填“8 - year - old”。
