完形补文

1. 本句应为一般过去时,因此应用 arise的一般过去式 arose。

2.名词所有格可以做定语,此处指的是“人类的独创性”,所以要用man的所有格形式。

3.food也可以做名词,意为洪水。但是此处应是指洪水泛滥的情况,所以可用其ing的名词形式,意为泛滥。

4.译文:水激发了中国人民建造了一条一千米的运河。跟据具体情况分析,本句应为一般过去时,所以 Inspire要在词尾加-d。

5. in use为介词十动词短语的形式,前面应用副词修饰,所以填入 practical的副词形式 practically。

6. 因没有冠词或其他修饰语出现,此处应填入 solution的复数形式。

7. be known as意为以……而闻名,为固定结构。

8.此处应填入形容词形式与 unpredictable词性一致。 danger为名词,其形容词为dangerous。

9.译文::……而且不适当的排水系统也毁坏了很多的土地。此处应填入 adequate的反义词,在其前面加前缀in-后变为 inadequate,意为不适当的、不恰当的,符合题意。

10.形容词性物主代词后应为名词形式,因此应填入 present的名词形式 presence。
