文章大意:本文主要講的是收音機(jī)在今天的用途。
答案:
1.has changed 由時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)since從句可知,此處用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。
2.to used to“過(guò)去常常,慣于”。
3.or 現(xiàn)在打開(kāi)收音機(jī),你要么聽(tīng)音樂(lè)、聽(tīng)脫口秀節(jié)目或者新聞。either...or...“或者……或者……”。
4.Fortunately 用副詞修飾整個(gè)句子。
5.listening enjoy后接代詞、名詞或動(dòng)名詞。所以此處用listening。
6.who/that 一些脫口秀主持人對(duì)持異見(jiàn)的人非常粗魯。先行詞是those,指人,從句部分缺少主語(yǔ),所以填關(guān)系代詞who或者that。
7.while 好像人們只在開(kāi)車的時(shí)候聽(tīng)音樂(lè)。while “當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”符合語(yǔ)境。下一句話也有提示“...while he is...”。
8.at 考查固定搭配。at home“在家里”。
9.playing 很多商店讓收音機(jī)一直開(kāi)著。have...doing...是指讓某人一直做某事或者讓某事一直在進(jìn)行,強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的持續(xù)性、連續(xù)性或者動(dòng)作的反復(fù)性。
10.communication 介詞of后接名詞。communication“交流”。
