Answer 1

【答案】

【1】an

【2】terrifying

【3】caused

【4】when

【5】possibility

【6】Hopefully

【7】had lost

【8】In

【9】hitting

【10】which

【解析】本篇文章是一篇采访。通过记者和在Typhoon Goni台风中幸存者的对话，讲述了台风的起因、过程及其所造成的灾害。

【1】an

考查冠词。由题中可知是一场可怕的大灾难。因为是首次出现，表数量。故用不定冠词an.

【2】terrifying

考查形容词。台风导致了许多其它的可怕的灾难。terrifying 令人害怕的，可怕的。

【3】caused

考查非谓语。由台风造成的山崩。由by the typhoon可知由台风引起的，要用被动。

landslides 　　　　caused by the typhoon 　　　 　　 　　 killed

主句的主语　　　过去分词作定语修饰主语主句的主语　　　　主句的谓语

at least 12 people　　 by the time rescuers arrived,

主句的宾语　　　　　　时间状语从句

【4】when

考查连词。从本句的结构看主句和从句缺少一个连词。从句意来看是当他们在睡觉时突然有一大块山体从山上下来。when用作时间连词，意为“在那时，;就在这时……突然地”。这时主句中可以用 “was/were doing sth./ 或was/were abouttodosth.when……”结构。

【5】possibility

考查名词。for any后应该是一个名词，从句意看救援人员一直在寻找有幸存者的可能性，现在仍在寻找幸存者。。所以填possibility。

【6】Hopefully

考查副词。从句意来判断是希望会是好消息。修饰整个句子。

【7】had lost

考查动词的时态。过去听别人说（told），而人们是在（told）就有三人死于北方的某个地方，是过去的过去。要用过去完成时。所以用had lost.

【8】In

考查固定搭配。in all总计，总共。符合题意。 注意一定要大写第一个字母。

【9】hitting

考查非谓语。hit表示自然灾害的侵袭，遭遇……。且台风与hit侵袭是主动关系，所以现在分词hitting作定语修饰台风。

【10】which

考查非限制性定语从句。which用来指代前面的整个句子，which所引导的这类特殊的非限定性定语从句是对主句所叙述的情况进行某种意义的补充说明， which常可译为“这一点， 这件事”，在定语从句中作主语。在非限制性定语从句中指代物或整个句子的只能是which.
