Answer 1

【答案】

【1】tension

【2】merciful

【3】changeable

【4】contradictory

【5】abusing power

【6】condemned/sentenced; death

【解析】

【1】考查名词。名词tension紧张；句意：随着边界协议的签订，两国之间的紧张情况开始缓解。该词在句中做主语，被介词短语between the two countries修饰。所以要填tension。

【2】考查形容词。句意：经济学家John Robertson说经济大臣期待着国际基金组织对津巴布韦仁慈是错误的。形容词merciful构成不定式to be merciful做宾语补足语对IMF补充说明。所以要填merciful。

【3】考查形容词。形容词changeable易变的，该词与形容词fascinating构成并列关系，一起用来修饰名词短语human individuals。所以要填changeable。

【4】考查介词短语。介词短语in contradictory with与…矛盾；句意：他是一个谎言家，很明显他的行为与他在就职演讲上的承诺是矛盾的。所以要填contradictory。

【5】考查动名词。动词短语accuse…of…控告…；其中介词of的后面要接动名词或名词做宾语。本句要用abusing power做介词of的宾语。所以要填abusing power。

【6】考查语态。动词短语sentence/condemn sb to death判处某人死刑。本句主语Whoever betrays his country to the enemy中提及的人与sentence构成被动关系，要使用被动语态。所以要填condemned/sentenced death。
