1:The first people to live in __________ Hawaii were the Polynesians, who sailed there in large canoes from other Pacific Islands about 2,000 years age.
A:now where is B:what is now C:it is now D:now this is (我觉得是A 但答案是B)
答案就是B. 因为在介词in 后面加得的只能是名词。有一句话“where there is will there is a way" (有志者事竟成). 以这句话为例,where引导的只能是状语从句而不可能是名词性从句。所以A是错的。
2:Ballads (were early) types of (poetry) and may have been among (a) first kinds of (music).(我选的是a , 答案是music.)
这是固定搭配:所有的序数词和最高级的前面一般来说都必须是the 而不是a. 不排除有特别的情况但是这种情况绝对不会超过5%。此外上文说的a为单数和kinds冲突也是很有道理的。
3:The (taller) of all animals, a (full-grown) giraffe (may be) eighteen feet or (more high).(我选的是more high,答案是taller)
A一定是错的。因为the + 最高级 + of/in/among all + 总体性名词是固定搭配。所以taller一定是错的。最后一个选项是陷阱。因为这句话的断句应该是eighteen feet or more + high. 这是一个常见句型:数量词+形容词。比如3 meters wide=三米宽。句中的部分应该翻译为:18英尺或者更高。
