28、。3.going考查动词的时态。句意 : 我想知道他是否明白正在发生什么。根据上文中的“he wasdying of cancer ”及下文中的“ Belker slipped peacefully away”可知, 当时 Belker 生命垂危 ,死亡这一过程并没有完成而是正在进行; 结合空格前的“ was”及语境可知, 此处应为过去进行时 ,表示当时正在发生。故填 going 。4.or 考查连词。根据句意可知,Shane似乎没有任何困难或困惑地接受了这一事实。句中“difficulty”和“ confusion”是并列关系; 根据上文中的“ without ”可知, 该句为否定句 , 在

29、否定句中 ,or表并列。故填 or 。5.Belkers 考查名词所有格。根据语法知识可知,Belker和“ death ”之间是所属关系 , 故此处应用名词所有格 Belke r s, 表示 Belker的死。6.lives考查名词的复数。根据下文中的“human lives ”可知 , 空格处应与其对应, 表示动物的生命要比人类的生命短暂。故此处应用复数名词lives 。7.greatly考查副词。根据句意可知 , 从 Shane 嘴里说出的话让作者大吃一惊, 此处应用副词修饰谓语动词“ surprised ”。故填greatly。8.more考查形容词的比较级。根据句意可知, 作者从未听

30、过比这更令人宽慰的解释。此处用形容词比较级的否定式来表示最高级含义, 意为“没有比更”。故填more。9.being考查非谓语动词。根据句中的并列连词“and”可知, 此处应与“ and”前的“ lovingeverybody ”一致 , 故用“ being nice”, 表示并列。故填being 。10.how考查宾语从句。根据语境及句式可知, 上文中的“ People are born so that they canlearn how to live a good life”与本句中的“ dogs already know 10.to dothat.”相呼应 , “to do that”指代上文中的“ to live a good life”, 故此处应用how 构成“疑问副词 +不定式”结构, 表示如何过上好生活。故填how。.Last month,I went to the mountain villagemy grandparents live.It hasbeen five yearsI last went there.Great changes havebeentake
