答案及解析:

动词accompany和名词company不要混淆。$ ]) m x! x( R* e5 {! F% `1 ?
company是名词,除了“公司”的意思之外,还有“陪伴,伙伴”的意思。比如:Keep somebody company(陪伴某人),have no company(没有伙伴)。accompany作为动词“陪伴”的意思,如:accompany somebody on a trip。
( R! `- x0 b- o4 c 2.has-had
/ O( Q& g6 o& v0 o 这里讲的是1881年的地震,应该用过去时态。$ \; `6 Q" e, L2 A; S
3.were-are
# L% g7 f$ j# I5 `4 E 虽然主句是过去时态,但是because从句中讲的是没有时间限制的一般道理,不因为时间的改变而改变,所以应该用现在时态。& F: }# ~. E( [. y7 T& j/ ?
4.earthquake-earthquakes
% q; g: c0 o8 g0 T' H! k 这里说的是1819和1845年的两次地震,所以对应的名词应该是复数形式。
# W8 I* }. P/ \5 O9 ? ?2 O7 F2 c 5.^sea-the
) b5 Z8 R4 `; [6 P) u sea 前通常要带定冠词,这属于习惯用法。另外,表示具体的海洋,江河等名词前通常也有定冠词。* p, G4 @4 T2 A1 w/ F( K( u
6.in-from
! R$ r/ p) x2 w result in 和result from的区别是:前者介词in后面跟结果,后者介词from后面跟原因。从上下文来看,是说地震引起海浪,所以应该用from。
( J- d0 M$ y0 y 7.adjacent^-to
0 z4 l, C9 _' o$ S6 j; z 形容词adjacent可以直接放在名词前做定语,例如:an adjacent city(一个临近的城市)。但是如果做后置定语就要和介词to搭配,例如: a city adjacent to Shanghai。
8 z6 \6 ^) I: \: j' K% }3 Q4 ?) M+ e 8.considerate-considerable# h, E4 y+ M; g2 \- x
considerate意思为 “体贴的,周到的”,considerable意思是“相当大的,相当多的”。(这个词在57期也刚改过的,现在完全记住了吧^_^)

, L9 c7 R2 K. C6 s% i' `) c 前文说12到15米高的海啸给Ormara和Pasi两个地方带来了很大的损失,而Combay海湾的海啸有15米高,却没有灾难记录。从前后句的逻辑关系来看,二者是对比转折,所以应该用but。; @# N& s- G) @4 a
10.whcih-where
, {$ M! Y5 m" Z0 y# B 先行词是Mumbai,在非限制性关系分句中做地点状语,所以应该用关系副词where引导 |
