【参考答案】
1.had taken 2.strangely 3.To be 4.the 5.beauty 6.protecting 7.importance 8.desirable 9.for 10.Although/Though
【答案解析】
1.had taken 考查动词时态和语气。根据及物动词wish可以看出wish跟的宾语从句要求用虚拟语气,这一点与hope不同。再根据时间状语的谓语动词left是一般过去时确定是表示与过去事实相反的未曾实现的愿望,所以谓语动词用过去完成时。故填had left。wish后的宾语从句的虚拟语气分三种情况:表示与现在事实相反的愿望,从句谓语用一般过去时或过去进行时;表示与过去相反的愿望,从句谓语用过去完成时或would / could+have +过去分词;
表示将来没有把握或不太可能实现的愿望,用would (could)+动词原形。句意是: 我说:“我离开家时候要是带把伞就好了。”
2.strangely 考查副词。此处是修饰动词look,应该是方式状语,所以用副词作状语修饰动词。故填strangely。句意是:我的朋友怪异地看着我。
3.To be 考查非谓语动词之动词不定式。根据上下文的意思确定此处是一个评注性状语,也是一个插入语。短语to be fair的意思是“公平地说”,故填To be。
4.the 考查冠词。根据名词foreign可以看出此处的only是形容词,意思是“唯一的”,表达此义作为定语的形容
