Answer 1

【答案】

 

 that

 As

 in

 worse.

 but

 calling

 were looking

 herself

 with

 beauty

【解析】

試題分析：

 that    that是定語從句的關系代詞，代替先行詞everything在句中做主語。

 As                    固定詞組和…平時一樣；as usual

  in                   名詞direction（方向）與介詞in連用，表示朝各個方向。

 worse.   Even修飾比較級worse。她感覺更加糟糕了。

 but       上下文存在著轉折關系，

 calling   分詞短語做狀語，前面的主語he與call存在著主動關系，故使用現在分詞短語做狀語，指吸引人們的注意力。

 were looking          考查時態，本文敘述的是過去某個時間所發生的事情，所以使用過去進行時的形式。

 herself 反身代詞作為find的賓語，指她發現自己第一次笑。

 with                介詞短語with a beard修飾an old gentleman。

 beauty    句意：有的時候不是世界上沒有美，缺少的是發現美的眼睛。故這里使用的是名詞beauty.

考點：考查語法糾錯能力

點評：考查考生的語法糾錯能力和在上下文語境中運用語法的能力，同時還要語境的語義的理解。
