题目解答
答案
首先明确备选词汇的词义：evidence“证据”；power“力量，权力”；trust“信任”；pollute“污染”；unlikely“不可能的”；unusual“不寻常的”； economic“经济的”；sale“销售(量)”；relate“相关”；widespread“广泛的”。
其次分析各小题的句意以及句子结构：1.句意：她将在七点钟之前到达是不可能的。考查词组It’s likely that...“……是不太可能的”。故填unlikely。
2.句意：吸烟与肺癌和许多其他的疾病有关。根据句子结构分析可知，空格处与be动词连用，其后有介词to，考查词组be related to“与……有关”。故填related。
3.句意：报道称近六个月，新房销售量上涨了百分之二十。考查名词。sales of“……的销售量”。根据其后are可知这里用复数形式，故填sales。
4.句意：警察正在收集证据，帮助他们证明谁杀了这个银行职员。考查名词，evidence“证据”符合句意，且不可数。故填evidence。
5.句意：许多的湖泊和河流已经被工业废料所污染。根据句意可知，pollute“污染”符合。根据句子结构分析，此处为现在完成时态。故填polluted。
6.句意：每年的这个时候，天气异常地温暖。根据句子结构分析可知，空格处修饰warm，表示程度，故用副词形式。unusual为形容词，其副词形式unusually“特别地，异常地”。故填unusually。
7.句意：有报道称，法国北部洪水泛滥。根据句子结构分析，空格处需要形容词词性，修饰flooding。widespread“广泛的”符合。故填widespread。
8.句意：你必须相信你自己的感觉，自己拿主意。根据句子结构分析，空格处位于should后，应用动词原形。trust为动词“信任”。故填trust。
解析
本题考查词汇的灵活运用能力，需根据句意选择恰当的单词，并注意词性转换和固定搭配。解题核心在于：
- 理解句意，明确空格处所需词性（如形容词、动词、名词等）；
- 匹配备选单词，结合固定短语或习惯用法确定答案；
- 注意语法结构，如被动语态、名词单复数等。
-
It’s ___ that she’ll arrive before seven.
句意为“她将在七点前到达是不可能的”。此处需用否定词，且句型为“It’s likely/unlikely that...”（表示可能性）。unlikely（不可能的）符合语境。 -
Smoking is ___ to lung cancer and many other diseases.
空格后接介词短语“to...”，需用动词的分词形式。relate的过去分词形式为related，构成固定短语“be related to”（与...相关）。 -
The report says ___ of new homes are up 20% over the last six months.
句意为“新房销售量上涨了20%”。sale作“销售量”讲时，通常用复数形式sales，且后接“of”结构。 -
The police are gathering ___ to help them prove who killed the bank clerk.
空格处需填不可数名词，表示“证据”。evidence（证据）符合句意。 -
Many lakes and rivers have been ___ by industrial waste.
句子为被动语态，需用动词的过去分词。pollute的过去分词为polluted（被污染）。 -
The weather is ___ warm for this time of year.
空格修饰形容词warm，需用副词。unusual的副词形式为unusually（异常地）。 -
There are reports of ___ flooding in northern France.
空格修饰名词flooding，需用形容词。widespread（广泛的）符合语境。 -
You must ___ your own feelings and decide for yourself.
空格位于情态动词must后，需用动词原形。trust（信任）符合句意。
