Answer 1

【答案】

【1】sailors

【2】Although/Though

【3】known

【4】simply

【5】unusual

【6】was carried

【7】Realizing

【8】it

【9】where

【10】alive

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍渔夫有时会捕到一些看似“怪物”的东西，其实是陌生的鱼。渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害。

【1】sailors 根据Fishermen and可知此空用名词的复数形式表示并列，故填sailors。

【2】Although/Though 句意：尽管人们经常嘲笑海员们讲的故事，众所周知许多人们有时看到的这些“怪物”只不过是陌生的鱼。让步状语从句，故填Although/Though。注意大写开头。

【3】known 固定句式：it is known that---众所周知，故填known。

【4】simply 句意：众所周知许多人们有时看到的这些“怪物”只不过是陌生的鱼。副词修饰形容词，故填simply。

【5】unusual 句意：偶尔，非同一般的生物被冲到海岸。形容词修饰名词，故填unusual。

【6】was carried 句意：一条小渔船被一条咬住钩的强壮的大鱼拖到了几英里以外的海面上。根据句意可知用一般过去时态的被动语态，故填was carried。

【7】Realizing 句意：由于意识到这是条不同寻常的鱼,渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害，此处是现在分词做原因状语，故填Realizing。注意大写开头。

【8】it 句意：渔夫们想尽办法不给它造成任何伤害。用it替代fish，故填it。

【9】where 此处a museum是先行词，在后面的定语从句中作地点状语，故填where。

【10】alive 句意：目前为止很少人见过这种生物活着的样子。此处用形容词alive活着的，做主语补足语。故填alive。
