答案与解析
英国举行最高级别国葬为执政70年的伊丽莎白女王二世送行,女王国葬仪式在维斯明斯特大教堂举行。
1.to honor 考查非谓语动词。此处指“总统、总理、国王和王子都来纪念她70年的执政生涯”表目的,应用不定式作状语, 故填to honor。
2.since 考查介词。根据语境“自1965年丘吉尔的国葬之后这是英国的第一次国葬”可知,此处表“自从”,故填since。
3. rang 考查动词的时态。该处指过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时, 故填rang。
4. sailors 考查词形转换。 此处作主语,结合语境可知是142人运送,空前是数词142,故填sailor的复数sailors。
5.the 考查冠词。 此处指女王的国葬仪式,表特指,应用定冠词the。
6.where 考查定语从句。该处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Windsor Castle,指地点,从句中缺少地点状语,故用关系副词where引导定语从句。
7.observed 考查非谓语动词。空处所在句已有谓语,故空处作非谓语,observe与silence是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语,填observed。observe在本句中为熟词生义,意为“遵守”,observe two minutes of silence “默哀两分钟”。
8.more 考查比较级。此处指全球还有数百万人观看了电视直播,故用many的比较级more。
9.dates 考查动词的时态。此处是
