Answer 1

【答案】

【1】which

【2】actually

【3】be replied

【4】changes

【5】the

【6】was

【7】suggested

【8】in

【9】respectful

【10】politeness

【解析】

【1】which 此处考查非限制性定语从句。前面的先行词指物，定语从句缺少主语，故填which。

【2】actually 副词修饰动词，actual是形容词，故填actually。

【3】be replied 此处考查含情态动词的被动语态，故填be replied。

【4】changes 此处指很多巨大的变化，名词用复数形式，故填changes。

【5】the 特指电话这类东西，故填the。

【6】was 此处用一般过去时态，silence是不可数名词，故填was。

【7】suggested 根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故填suggested。

【8】in 固定搭配：in everyday face-to-face communications在每天面对面的交流上，故填in。

【9】respectful be动词后面用形容词作表语，故填respectful。

【10】politeness 根据句意可知：句子缺少主语，所以应该用名词，polite是形容词，故填politeness。
