答案:
1.Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adapt oneself to life/ living in different cultures(适应不同文化中的的生活).
(本题考查对常用搭配adapt oneself to的掌握。adapt to意为“适应”,在主语不明确的情况下,adapt后通常用反身代词oneself泛指所有人。To在这里是介词,后须接名词life in different cultures或动名词living in different cultures)
2. Since my childhood I have found that nothing is more attractive to me than reading/to me, nothing is more attractive than reading (没有什么比读书对我考试&大更有吸引力).
(本题考查对比较结构及固定搭配的掌握。Attractive意思是“有吸引力的”比较级形式为more attractive, 对…有吸引力用be attractive to sb来表示)
3.The victim nothing is would have had a chance to survive/would have a chance of survival (本来会有机会活下来)if he had been taken to hospital in time.
(本题考查对虚拟语气的掌握。表示与过去事实相反的虚拟句中,从句谓语要用“had+过去分词”形式,主句谓语要用“would have+过去分词”形式。有机会活下来可以用have a chance to survive /have a chance of survival来表示)
4. Some psychologists claim that people might feel lonely when they are far from home/when they are traveling (出门在外时可能会感到孤独).
(本题考查对might表“推测”用法的掌握。Lonely强调主观上感到考试&大孤独和寂寞,常用句中作表语或定语)
5. The nation’s population continues to rise at a speed/rate of 12 million per year/at an annual speed /rate of 12 million (以每年1200万人的速度).
(本题考查对短语at a speed/rate of的掌握。Million在表示确切数目时其后不能加S)
