Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 large easy

【2】teachers

【3】 countries scientists

【4】Many students are busy with schoolwork.

【5】Different abilities are needed to work together

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文，通過各個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)于音樂教育的缺失以及不重視的現(xiàn)象，說明了音樂對(duì)于人類身心健康發(fā)展的重要作用。

【1】（A）處big“大的”，形容詞，其同義詞為large“大的”，形容詞；（E）處simple“簡(jiǎn)單的”，形容詞，其同義詞為easy“容易的”，形容詞。故答案為large，easy。

【2】根據(jù)第二段“Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1, 000 teachers”可知，此處的them指代的是上文提到的1000多名被解雇的教師。故答案為teachers。

【3】根據(jù)“such as China and Britain”可知，中國(guó)和英國(guó)都是國(guó)家，因此（C）處指的是“country”國(guó)家，可數(shù)名詞，且此處應(yīng)為其復(fù)數(shù)形式，故此處應(yīng)為countries；根據(jù)“Music has a special connection with science as well…and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano”可知，愛因斯坦等都是科學(xué)家，因此（G）處指的是“scientist”科學(xué)家，可數(shù)名詞，句中many后所接可數(shù)名詞應(yīng)為其復(fù)數(shù)形式，故此處為scientists。故答案為countries，scientists。

【4】根據(jù)語意可知，本句時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)且主語為復(fù)數(shù)，故動(dòng)詞應(yīng)為其原形。student學(xué)生，可數(shù)名詞，此處用其復(fù)數(shù)形式；be busy with sth忙于做某事；schoolwork作業(yè)，不可數(shù)名詞。故答案為Many students are busy with schoolwork.

【5】被動(dòng)語態(tài)結(jié)構(gòu)：主語+be動(dòng)詞+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞+其它。將主動(dòng)語態(tài)改為被動(dòng)語態(tài)，需將原句中的主語和謂語顛倒位置，即主語應(yīng)為“Different abilities”。根據(jù)語境可知，本句為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)且主語為復(fù)數(shù)，故應(yīng)為are needed to work together。故答案為Different abilities are needed to work together.
