Answer 1

【答案】

【1】is broadcast

【2】higher

【3】where

【4】truths

【5】incorrect

【6】a

【7】importance

【8】ignored

【9】themselves

【10】It

【解析】

【1】is broadcast(ed）考查被動語態(tài)。由于Big Brother和broadcast之間是被動冠詞，所以應該用被動語態(tài)，故填is broadcast(ed）。

【2】higher考查比較級。根據后面的than可知此處需要用比較級，故用形容詞high的比較級higher，故填higher。

【3】where考查關系副詞。此處冠詞副詞where引導定語從句，故填where。

【4】truths考查名詞。根據結構判斷此處缺少名詞，所以應該用名詞truth表示“事實”，且應該用其復數形式，故填truths。

【5】incorrect考查形容詞。根據句意可知此處的解釋是相當不正確的，故填incorrect。

【6】a考查冠詞。Have a much stringer desire表示“有一個更強的欲望”，故填a。

【7】importance考查名詞。此處缺少名詞，sense of importance表示“重要感”，故填importance。

【8】ignored考查動詞。此處前面省略了we are，表示“被動含義”，所以應該用ignore的過去分詞ignored，故填ignored。

【9】themselves考查反身代詞。動詞反身代詞代指他們自己。故填themselves。

【10】It考查代詞。此處It做形式主語引導主語從句，故填It。
