Answer 1

【答案】

【1】tiny

【2】size

【3】carefully

【4】stored

【5】other

【6】large

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要描寫的是一隊香港的建筑師預測未來家會是怎么樣的。隨著人口的增多，空間會變得越來越小，所以城市家庭的住宿空間也會越來越小。

【1】句意：香港的一組建筑師說城市的房子將會很小。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“will be”可知，應該填的是形容詞作表語，由后文“as populations continue to grow and space becomes more expensive”可知，應該是小的，tiny意為“極小的”，故填tiny。

【2】句意：他們設計的“太空公寓”面積只有30平方米。

根據(jù)所給空前面的句子“are only 30 square metres”以及固定搭配in size意為“大小”，故填size。

【3】句意：但一切都經(jīng)過精心策劃，以充分利用有限的空間。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“planned”可知，應該填的是副詞修飾動詞，由后面的句子“to make good use of the limited space”可知，應該是精心策劃，carefully意為“精心地”，故填carefully。

【4】句意：如果不需要，沙發(fā)床和桌子都可以折疊起來，放在墻上的一個小空間里。

根據(jù)所給空前面的“can be folded away （折疊）and”可知，應該填的是動詞的過去分詞，由后面的句子“into a small space in the wall”可知，應該是放置，store意為“放置”，過去分詞是stored，故填stored。

【5】句意：其他房間雖小但實用。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“rooms”和句子“The bathroom contains ……the block of flats”可知，應該是其他的，other意為“其他的”，故填other。

【6】句意：所有的房間都有很高的天花板，以提供盡可能多的存儲空間，而公寓有大窗戶，讓陽光充足。

根據(jù)所給空后面的“windows”可知，應該填的是形容詞作定語，由后面的句子“let in plenty of sunlight”可知，應該是大的，large意為“大的”，故填large。
