Answer 1

【答案】

【1】that

【2】However

【3】Countries

【4】frightened

【5】suffered

【6】was felt

【7】whom

【8】a

【9】recorded

【10】in

【解析】

【1】that；考查定語從句。先行詞是something，是物，但是something這一類不定代詞做先行詞時，只能用that不能用which。故填that。

【2】However；根據前半句的have few or no earthquakes.很少發(fā)生地震以及后半句的have them regularly定期的發(fā)生地震，可知這里應該是表達轉折的語氣。故填However。

【3】Countries；根據后面的動詞have可知主語應該是復數(shù)形式，所以應該填country的復數(shù)形式。故填Countries。

【4】frightened；考查動詞的形容詞形式。frighten的形容詞有兩個形式。frightening意為令人恐懼的，多用于修飾物；frightened意為感到恐懼的，通常用于修飾人。此處用于修飾people。故填frightened。

【5】suffered；考查時態(tài)，根據前面一個動詞使用的過去時died，可知因為要主謂一致時態(tài)一致，所以這里也應該用過去時。故填suffered。

【6】was felt；考查被動語態(tài)。句意：其中一個最強烈的地震在葡萄牙都被感覺到了。這一句的主語是one of the strongest earthquakes,和feel形成主賓關系，因為是人感覺到地震。故填was felt。

【7】whom；考查定語從句。先行詞是people，從句中缺主語，所以可以填who，但是of是介詞，介詞后面只能接賓語，所以只能用who的賓格whom。故填whom。

【8】a；固定搭配：a number of people大量的人。 故填a。

【9】recorded；根據第三段的one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded可知這里也應該用動詞record的形容詞形式。故填recorded。

【10】in；考查定語從句。從句是一個完整的句子，因此這里是一個關系副詞，先行詞是earthquake,可以看做一個抽象的地點，所以用where等同于in which。故填in。
