Answer 1

【答案】

【1】wanted

【2】loss

【3】harder

【4】The

【5】himself

【6】having regained

【7】things

【8】when

【9】in

【10】truly

【解析】

【1】wanted考察时态。结合上下文，文中谈论的事情都是过去发生的事情，因此使用一般过去时。文意是他们穿过河流后想要确认是不是所有的人都在这里。

【2】loss考查词性转换。空格前有the，故应填名词形式loss。文意是他们非常沮丧并为丢了第十个伙伴儿哭泣。

【3】harder考察形容词比较级。与刚才的哭泣相比较，这会哭的更厉害了。

【4】The考察冠词。这里指前面提到的那个聪明的人，属于特指。文意是这个聪明的人看到他们是十个人，就告诉他们在数一下。

【5】himself考察反身代词。根据句意每个人都数了九个人，但却忘记了自己。

【6】having regained 考察动名词。结合前面的介词for后面应使用动词ing形式，表示再次找到了第十个人。

【7】things考察名词复数形式。结合前面的four可知此处应用名词的复数形式。

【8】when考察状语从句。结合语境，表示“当...时候”，引导状语从句。文意是所有的人都在悲哀当他们忘了自己的时候。

【9】in考察介词。根据上下文，快乐存在于发现现有的东西，in表示“在于”。

【10】truly考察副词。Truly修饰后面的形容词，副词作状语。根据文意一切都是真正高兴地事情。
