解析:
【分析】
这是一篇给出提示词的英语语法填空题,解题时首先要通读全文,把握文章整体叙事语境和核心时态,再逐空分析:先判断空格所需的词性,结合固定搭配、名词单复数规则、比较级用法、谓语/非谓语区分、被动语态逻辑、代词指代等规则,对提示词做正确变形,每一步都要结合上下文逻辑验证变形是否符合语义和语法要求。
【解析】
1. 第1空:piece是可数名词,此处表示墙的涂层脱落成许多小块,没有单数限定词修饰,要变为复数形式pieces。
2. 第2空:主语This指代前文墙皮局部脱落这件事,描述客观存在的状态,用一般现在时,谓语动词要变为第三人称单数creates。
3. 第3空:程度副词even常用来修饰形容词/副词的比较级,因此多音节形容词beautiful要变为比较级more beautiful。
4. 第4空:固定搭配keep doing sth.表示“一直做某事”,因此动词imagine要变为动名词形式imagining。
5. 第5空:此处用不定式作目的状语,表达“我回来的目的是用相机探索这个场景”,因此填to explore。
6. 第6空:空格用于修饰动词Working,修饰动词需要用副词,形容词free要变为副词形式freely。
7. 第7空:that引导定语从句修饰先行词stories,stories和paint是被动关系,且描述过去发生的事,因此用一般过去时的被动语态were painted。
8. 第8空:空格修饰事物white walls,修饰事物要用-ing结尾的形容词,amaze变为amazing,意为“令人惊叹的”。
9. 第9空:描述过去六月份拍摄照片的动作,用一般过去时,take的过去式是took。
10. 第10空:宾语和主语I指代同一个人,需要用反身代词,构成固定结构find oneself doing sth.,因此I变为myself。
【答案】
1. pieces 2. creates 3. more beautiful 4. imagining 5. to explore 6. freely 7. were painted 8. amazing 9. took 10. myself
【知识点】
词形变换,动词时态语态,非谓语动词
