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）考查被动语态。由于Big Brother和broadcast之间是被动冠词，所以应该用被动语态，故填is broadcast(ed）。

【2】higher考查比较级。根据后面的than可知此处需要用比较级，故用形容词high的比较级higher，故填higher。

【3】where考查关系副词。此处冠词副词where引导定语从句，故填where。

【4】truths考查名词。根据结构判断此处缺少名词，所以应该用名词truth表示“事实”，且应该用其复数形式，故填truths。

【5】incorrect考查形容词。根据句意可知此处的解释是相当不正确的，故填incorrect。

【6】a考查冠词。Have a much stringer desire表示“有一个更强的欲望”，故填a。

【7】importance考查名词。此处缺少名词，sense of importance表示“重要感”，故填importance。

【8】ignored考查动词。此处前面省略了we are，表示“被动含义”，所以应该用ignore的过去分词ignored，故填ignored。

【9】themselves考查反身代词。动词反身代词代指他们自己。故填themselves。

【10】It考查代词。此处It做形式主语引导主语从句，故填It。
