___________________________________________________________________________?
【答案】Why do you place a piece of cloth over the mouth of the water pot
【详解】句意:为了把泥挡在外面,我在水壶口上放了一块布。根据划线部分“To keep the mud out”可知,这是动词不定式短语作目的状语,表示动作的目的。对“目的”进行提问,应用特殊疑问词Why引导。原句变疑问句时,主语I需变为第二人称you;谓语动词place是实义动词原形,时态为一般现在时,故需借助助动词do。句首单词首字母需大写。故填Why do you place a piece of cloth over the mouth of the water pot。

14. liters, we, need, of, cook the soup, water, do, to, how many (连词成句)

【详解】根据所给标点符号和单词可知,本句是特殊疑问句。how many是特殊疑问词,位于句首,后接可数名词复数liters,需搭配介词of连接不可数名词water;do是助动词,放在主语we之前;need是谓语,后接不定式结构“to cook the soup”作目的状语。故填How many liters of water do we need to cook the soup“我们做这汤需要多少升水”。
15. The boy is so young that he can’t go to school. (改为简单句)
_________________________________________________________
【答案】The boy is too young to go to school.
【详解】句意:这个男孩年纪太小了,还不能去上学。so+形容词+that从句,表示“如此……以至于……”,此处可以转换成“too+形容词+to do”的形式,表示“太……而不能……”。故填The boy is too young to go to school.
16.I go to school. I learn new things. (用动词不定式合并成句子)
_______________________________________________________.

__________________________________________________________
【答案】Firefighting robots make it safer to save lives.
【详解】根据汉语可知,句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时;firefighting robots“灭火机器人”,作主语;make it+形容词+to do sth“使做某事变得……”,固定搭配,it作形式宾语;safer“更安全的”,形容词比较级;save lives“拯救生命”,动词短语。故填Firefighting robots make it safer to save lives.
18.重启可以解决这个问题。(solve)
____________________________________
【答案】To restart it can solve the problem.
【详解】该句陈述事实,可以用一般现在时表达。To restart it“重启(某个设备)”,此处用it指代某个设备,不定式短语作主语;can情态动词;solve“解决”,谓语;the problem“这个问题”,宾语。故填To restart it can solve the problem.
19.我想向经理投诉我上周买的电脑。
___________________________________________
【答案】I want to complain to the manager about the computer I bought last week.
【详解】“我想”表达为“I want to”,表示意愿;“complain to sb. about sth.”是固定搭配,表示“向某人投诉某事”;the manager“经理”;“我上周买的电脑”是一个定语从句,修饰“电脑”,译为“the computer I bought last week”。故填I want to complain to the manager about the computer I bought last week.
20.成年人需要为学龄前儿童提供一个安全且有趣的学习环境。(grown-up, provide, preschooler)
_______________________________________________________
【答案】Grown-ups need to provide a safe and interesting learning environment for preschoolers.
【详解】根据汉语意思可知,本句为一般现在时的肯定句,表示客观需要和普遍情况。Grown-ups“成年人”,复数名词作主语;need“需要”,作谓语动词;to provide为动词不定式,作need的宾语,provide…for…表示“为……提供……”;a safe and interesting learning environment表示“一个安全且有趣的学习环境”,safe和interesting为并列形容词修饰environment;for为介词;preschoolers“学龄前儿童”,复数名词作宾语。句意完整,语法正确。故填Grown-ups need to provide a safe and interesting learning environment for preschoolers.

【1题详解】
句意:每个大城市都有数千家餐馆。
thousands of成千上万的;thousand千;thousand of错误表达。根据“There are several...restaurants in every big city.”可知,此处修饰名词restaurants,且空前有several,应填thousand,表示数千家餐馆。故选B。
【2题详解】
句意:它们经常供应相似的食物,价格也相近——那么它们如何吸引顾客呢?
at在;on在……上面;in在……里面。“at similar prices”是固定搭配,表示“以相似的价格”,at可用来表示价格、速度等具体数值。故选A。
【3题详解】
句意:大多数餐厅都努力提供美味的食物和优质的服务,希望顾客能一次又一次地光顾。
came back回来,动词过去式;to come back回来,动词不定式;will come back将回来,一般将来时。根据“they hope customers...again and again”可知,hope后接宾语从句,从句用将来时表示“希望顾客会一次又一次回来”。故选C。
【4题详解】
句意:厨师们利用火山的热量来烹饪食物。
cook烹饪,动词原形;to cook烹饪,动词不定式;cooking烹饪,动名词。“use sth to do sth”是固定用法,表示“用某物做某事”,所以这里用to cook,表示“厨师用火山的热量来烹饪食物”。故选B。

to到;about关于;with和。“complain about sth”固定搭配,表示“抱怨某事”。故选B。
【8题详解】
句意:所以,飞机内部设餐厅肯定是个糟糕的主意。
However然而;Actually实际上;So所以。根据“There isn’t enough space. They don’t sit comfortably...surely a restaurant inside a plane is a bad idea.”可知,前文说“空间不足,坐得不舒服”,后面说“飞机里的餐厅肯定是个坏主意”,这是因果关系,所以用So。故选C。
【9题详解】
句意:在佛罗里达州迈阿密的另一家餐厅,里面只有床。
another另一(事物或人);the other(两者中的)另一个;other其他的。根据“And in...restaurant in Miami,”another表示“另一个(不确定的)”,这里指“在迈阿密的另一家餐厅”,不是特指某一个,所以用another。故选A。
【10题详解】
句意:他们选择他们的鱼,然后试着去抓住它!
