Answer 1

【答案】

【1】was eating

【2】painting

【3】to brush

【4】be done

【5】will give

【6】rested/was resting

【解析】本文讲述了汤姆在粉刷墙，本吃着苹果过来，他想要去游泳。汤姆告诉他一千人中或两千人中没有一个男孩能把这面墙刷好，这让本感兴趣，于是他请求汤姆让他试试，最后，汤姆在树下休息，本在阳光下工作。

【1】was eating

句意：他正在吃苹果，发出像河船一样的声音。and前后并列，后面的making是现在分词，故此处用进行时，根据前面的谓语came可知此处用过去进行时，主语he是第三人称单数，故谓语用第三人称单数，故为was eating .

【2】painting

句意：汤姆继续粉刷那面墙，没有注意本。go on doing sth继续做某事，故为painting。

【3】to brush

句意：我每天都有一个机会把一面墙刷成白色吗？have a chance to do sth有机会做某事，故为to brush。

【4】be done

句意：这面墙必须被认真地做。此处表示被动，位于情态动词must后，故用动词原形，故为be done。

【5】will give

句意：我将会给你我的苹果。此处表示将要，故用一般将来时，故为will give。

【6】rested/was resting

句意：汤姆在一棵树下休息。根据as引导的时间状语从句，表示同时发生，故此处用一般过去时，或过去进行时，故为rested或was resting。
