题目解答

本题为语法填空题，主要考查语法知识的综合运用能力，包括定语从句、形容词最高级、被动语态、名词与动词的转换、状语从句、动词时态、非谓语动词、固定搭配等。解题时需结合上下文语境，分析句子结构，确定空格处所需词性及形式。

1. whose

定语从句关系代词。先行词为artist，空格后paintings是artist的所属物，需用关系代词whose引导定语从句。

2. finest

形容词最高级。根据语境“展示最好的作品”，且空格后为名词work，需用形容词最高级修饰，故填finest。

3. be chosen

被动语态。主语he是动作choose的承受者，且空前有情态动词would，故用被动语态形式be chosen。

4. curiosity

名词形式。介词with后需接名词作宾语，故将形容词curious转换为名词形式curiosity。

5. When/As

状语从句引导词。表示“当……时”，用When或As引导时间状语从句。

6. pointed

动词时态。与主句中的smiled时态一致，用一般过去时，且point与主语villagers为主动关系，故填pointed。

7. to find

动词不定式。set out后接动词不定式作目的状语，故填to find。

8. gently

副词修饰动词。修饰动词moved需用副词形式，故填gently。

9. surrounding

现在分词作定语。soft clouds与动词surround为主动关系，用现在分词形式作定语。

10. on

固定搭配。短语“on earth”意为“世界上”，为固定用法。
