Question

【题目】用括号中所给动词的正确形式填空，使短文完整。 Dr Watson was a good friend of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. One morning they (eat) breakfast when suddenly Holmes said, “I have to go to a place (call) Coland. A horse has disappeared from there, and the police can't find it. Will you come with me?”
“Do you think that the horse (steal) the other day?” Watson asked.
“I don't know,' Holmes replied. “ I need to go to Coland (find) out.”
“Why is this horse so important, Holmes?” Watson asked.
“Because I (run) in a big race. If it wins, a lot of people will win a great deal of money. There are also people who (not want) it to win.”
An hour later, they were on the train to Coland.

Answer 1

【答案】were eating；called；was stolen；to find；will run/is going to run/is running；don't want
【解析】文章大意: 本文讲述了福尔摩斯想去Coland找一匹马。因为他要参加一个大型比赛，如果这匹马赢了，很多人将要赢得大量的钱。一小时后，他和朋友沃特森坐火车去了Coland。
（1）句意：一天早上他们正在吃早饭。根据 when suddenly Holmes said,可知此处表示在过去某一时，正在做某事，应用过去进行时，所以答案是 were eating。
（2）句意：“我不得不去一个叫做Coland的地方。”修饰名词place，call与place之间是被动关系，故用过去分词，所以答案是called。
（3）句意：Watson问：“你认为那匹马是在不久前的一天被偷的吗？”结合句意，表示马被偷，使用被动语态be+过去分词，根据the other day可知此处用一般过去时，动词用过去式，所以答案是was stolen。
（4）句意：“我需要去Coland查一查。”此处表示去Coland的目的，故用动词不定式，所以答案是to find。
（5）句意：“因为我将要参加一个大型的比赛。”根据If it wins, a lot of people will win a great deal of money.可知将要参加比赛，因此用一般将来时，所以答案是will run/is going to run/is running。
（6）句意：也有很多人不想要让它赢。who引导的定语从句修饰先行词people，因为people是复数形式，故此处的谓语动词用原形，一般现在时中实意动词的否定借助助动词don't，后接动词原形，所以答案是don't want。
