One of my favorite comedian is George Burns. George began to work in theaters in 1906. In 1923 he started a comedy team with a woman named Gracie, that later became his wife. They were both became big stars, first on the stage and then on radio and TV. However, when Gracie had to stop his work in 1958 because of illness, George nearly disappeared from view.

Then in 1975, George won a Academy Award for his excellent performance in a film called “The Sunshine Boys”. Not had seen his previous work, millions of young men still became his fans. Everyone had great affection to this little man with a cigar. George stayed very actively when he was in his 90s. He even promised to give a special concert on his 100th birthday. However, in 1994, he fall in the bathtub and hurt himself. After that, his health never recovered. In 1996, the news he passed away made millions of Americans sad.

Answer 1

【答案】comedian-comedians

that-who

去掉were

his-her

a-an

had-having

to-for

actively-active

fall-fell

news后加that

【解析】小题1考查名词单复数。表示“…之一”用One of +名 词 复数形式， 故comedian-comedians。

小题2考查关系代词。a woman做先行词，在定语从句中做主语，定语从句中逗号后不能用that，故that-who。

小题3考查动词时态语态。本句的谓语动词是“become”没有被动，故去掉were。

小题4考查代词。根据a woman named Gracie, that later became his wife. 判断Gracie 是个女的。故his-her。

小题5考查冠词。Academy Award奥斯卡奖项，是以元音开头的单词，表示一个要用冠词an，故a-an。

小题6考查非谓语动词。逗号前两个句子之间没有连词，可以判断出用非谓语形式，前后主语一致，主语年轻人和动词看见是主动关系，故had-having。

小题7考查介词。 have affection for是固定短语，表示喜欢，故to-for。

小题8考查形容词。系动词后用形容词，stay是系动词，故actively-active。

小题9考查动词时态。 本段讲述的是过去的事情，用一般过去时。故fall-fell。

小题10考查名词性从句。消息后面从句在解释它的内容，是同位语从句，that起连接作用，不能省略 故news后加that。
