Answer 1

【答案】

【1】suddenly

【2】covered

【3】seeing

【4】them

【5】farther/further

【6】discovery

【7】on

【8】which

【9】but

【10】exists

【解析】

【1】suddenly 考查副词。忽然他们惊讶于他们所看到的。这里用副词做状语，故用suddenly。

【2】covered 考查过去分词。句意：三个很高的全身黑长毛的动物正在过马路。这里用过去分词，相当于定语从句省略形式。

【3】seeing考查动名词。句意：一看到这些动物，这些工程师立刻停下来去追它们。介词On后接动名词，故用seeing。

【4】them 句意：然而，当他们看到这些动物快速有力的跑进森林时，他们不敢再跟进了。这里用代词宾格them指代Three tall animals。

【5】farther/further 句意：然而，当他们看到这些动物快速有力的跑进森林时，他们不敢再跟进了。这里用来修饰比较级，故farther/further 。

【6】discovery句意：这些男士没有拍照片，但是科学家对这个发现很兴奋。这里用discover的名词形式discovery。

【7】on 考查固定结构 rely on 依赖，依靠，信任。句意：因为这些工程师都是受过良好教育的人，科学家觉得他们可以信任这些工程师所描述的。故这里用 on 。

【8】which考查定语从句关系词。句意：科学家返回森林，收集了一些头发，测量了脚印，大约20英寸。这里考查定语从句，用关系词which指代先行词footprints。

【9】but考查连词。句意：现在中国的科学家门已经组成了一个专家组来交流信息并做森林的研究，但是同时一些人拒绝相信这种半人半猴的存在。前后两分句之间是明显的转折，故用but。

【10】exists考查动词 根据句意同时一些人拒绝相信这种半人半猴的存在。这里believe后接的宾语从句主语是this half-man, half-monkey需要单数的谓语动词，故用 exists。
