Answer 1

【答案】

【1】faster

【2】to be going

【3】problems

【4】who

【5】replaced

【6】decreases

【7】carefully

【8】and

【9】will change

【10】of

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。我们生活在一个技术和社会进步的新时代。在过去的一百年里，技术的发展速度比过去几千年都要快。以这样的发展速度，很容易落后。因此要努力提高自己，更新自己的技能，才能在变化的社会中保持领先。

【1】考查比较级。根据后文than it had in the previous thousands of years可知应用形容词比较级faster，表示“更快的”。故填faster。

【2】考查非谓语动词。根据短语seem to do sth.表示“似乎，好像”，且根据后文now可知表示表示与谓语动作百同时发生且正在进行的动作应用to be doing。故填to be going。

【3】考查名词的数。problem为可数名词，由some修饰应用复数形式。故填problems。

【4】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句修饰先行词person，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，应用关系代词who。故填who。

【5】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知replace在句中作非谓语动词，此处为“find+宾语+宾补”结构，replace与himself构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填replaced。

【6】考查主谓一致。句意：如果我们停止努力提高自己，我们会发现我们的技能水平并没有停留在原来的水平上，而是在下降。此处描述客观事实用一般现在时，且主语为skill level，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填decreases。

【7】考查副词。修饰动词evaluate应用副词carefully，表示“仔细地”。故填carefully。

【8】考查连词。句意：仔细评估我们生活中的事物和技能，用更好的东西代替那些过时的东西，这也是一个好主意。根据句意可知上下文为承接关系，应用连词and。故填and。

【9】考查动词时态。根据后文时间状语over the next few years可知应用一般将来时。故填will change。

【10】考查介词。根据短语ahead of表示“在……之前”。故填of。

1. 能用于＂动词+宾语+宾语补足语＂结构的动词有see, hear, watch, notice, have, make, think等。

2.“find+宾语+宾补”这一结构中通常不使用动词原形来充当宾语补足语，即没有“find+宾语+动词原形”这样的结构。

如第五小题，分析句子结构可知replace在句中作非谓语动词，此处为“find+宾语+宾补”结构，replace与himself构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填replaced。
