The ___33__ (bad) damage was reported in the towns of Logan and Clovis, which are about 80 miles apart, police said. (2007梅州二模)解析：結(jié)合前段內(nèi)容，特別是the的提示，可知要用bad的最高級worst，表示“最嚴重的”。如：[例41]…there was a lot of information about the city’s wellknown tourist 34 ___ (attract)… (2008年廣州一模)解析：盡管attract是動詞，但這是考查詞類轉(zhuǎn)換的；在句中作介詞about的賓語，用名詞，故填attraction。[例40] Your mistake caused a lot of ________ (necessary) work in the office.解析：在名詞前作定語，仍用形容詞形式；但根據(jù)句意可知，錯誤是引起不必要的麻煩事，故填unnecessary。技巧14：括號中所給詞有可能是要求詞義轉(zhuǎn)換，詞類不一定要變，主要是考查具有與詞根意義相反的派生詞，需根據(jù)句子意思及前后邏輯關(guān)系，在詞根前加un—, im—等，在詞根后加—less等。[例37] There must be something ____40___(serious) wrong with our society. (2008潮州期末)解析：要求填的詞修飾形容詞wrong，作狀語，用副詞，故填seriously。如：[例36] [例35] With the large numbers of students, the ________ (operate) of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.解析：在冠詞后，要用名詞，故填operation。技巧12：在形容詞性物主代詞后，或者在“冠詞(+形容詞)”后，用名詞形式。[例32] These people have made great ___39 (contribute) to China with their work. (2007年茂名二模)解析：在句中作及物動詞have made的賓語，要用名詞形式；表示“作貢獻”，其前面沒有不定冠詞時，習慣上用復數(shù)，故填contributions。技巧11：作主語，或在及物動詞或介詞后作賓語，用名詞形式。[例29] In a ________ (danger) part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to…解析：在冠詞與名詞之間，要用形容詞，作定語，故填dangerous。具體方法有：技巧10：作表語、定語或補語，通常用形容詞形式。[例27] Lessons 39 (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. (廣東考試說明)解析：因句中已有謂語can help，所以learn應為非謂語動詞；又因lesson與learn是被動關(guān)系，要用過去分詞短語作定語，故填learned。 (4)不論非謂語動詞在句中作何種成分，若判斷需要用分詞，與邏輯主語是主動關(guān)系用—ing形式，是被動關(guān)系用—ed形式。如：[例24] He saw the stone, 37 (say) to himself: “The night will be very dark.” (2008年東莞一模)解析：句中已有謂語saw，所給動詞與saw不是并列關(guān)系，應當是非謂語動詞；又因He與say是主動關(guān)系，故填saying作伴隨狀語。[例23] Some people say that oldest children, who are smart and strongwilled, are very likely ___33 (succeed).

(2007年佛山一模)解析：因it是形式主語，后面用不定式作真正的主語，故填to memorize。技巧9：若句中已有謂語動詞，又不是并列謂語時，所給動詞就是非謂語動詞。[例18] That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her invitation, 40 (close) my book and walked away. (2008年廣州一模)解析：雖然句中已有謂語動詞declined，但由and walked可知，所填詞與declined和walked是并列關(guān)系，所以也用一般過去式closed。技巧8：若句中沒有別的謂語動詞，或者雖然已有謂語動詞，但需填的動詞與之是并列關(guān)系時，所給動詞就是謂語動詞；若是謂語動詞，就要
