k【答案】bigger;thatwhich;takes;speeches;strictly;at;todiscover;waspublished;breaki
g;it【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,搞笑诺贝尔奖听起来似乎很搞笑但是这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。(1)考查形容词。句意:或者想知道为什么老年人的耳朵比以前大根据句意和tha
可
f知这里要用形容词的比较级故填bigger。(2)考查定语从句。分析可知空格处引导限定性定语从句先行词为achieveme
ts指物。空格处在句中做主语所以要用that或者which引导这个定语从句故填thatwhich。(3)考查主谓一致和时态。分析可知take在句中做谓语。这里介绍的是一般事实要用一般现在时。主语theceremo
y为单数谓语动词也要用单数故填takes。(4)考查名词。speech为可数名词根据后面的are判断这里要用其复数形式故填speeches。(5)考查副词。空格处修饰动词police要用副词故填strictly。(6)考查介词。句意:乍一看这项久享盛名的研究似乎很荒谬但这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。atfirstsight固定短语,
