(1)句意:在一个村庄里有一个叫做泰斯拉的老人。man是单数,前面需要不定冠词,old是以元音音素开始的,因此使用an,故答案是an。
(2)句意:泰斯拉的朋友想知道他的朋友是否回来。根据句首的long long ago可知句子为一般过去时,故答案是wondered。
(3)句意:但是泰斯拉总是说“不管发生了什么,都是 好事,”朋友想知道他的儿子是否会回来,泰斯拉却说不管发生了什么都是好事,所以使用but表示转折,故答案是but。 (4)句意:他感谢了村民们,然然后礼貌地说:“不管发生了什么,发生的都是好事。”polite修饰动词said,因此使用副词politely,故答案是politely。
(5)句意:然而,之后,太势力的儿子摔断了腿。摔断的不可能是两条腿,应该是一条腿,因此使用单数形式,故答案是leg。
(6)句意:村民在一次来看忘了他,他再一次感谢了他们。they做thank的宾语,应使用宾格人称代词,故答案是them。
(7)句意:一些村名听到后感到很吃惊。听到是吃惊的原因,应使用动词不定式做状语,故答案是to hear。
(8)句意:几天之后,军队来到村里,强迫年轻人参军。根据the army可知是强迫参军,force sb. to do sth.固定搭配,to已经给出,因此使用动词原形,故答案是join。 (9)句意:当他们发现他的儿子有一条断腿的时候,他们就把他留下了。break修饰leg,因此使用过去分词,故答案是broken。
(10)句意:村民再次来祝她好运。good修饰luck,没有任何比较,所以使用原级,故答案是good。
