解析

【分析】
这道题是语篇型单词填空题,解题时首先通读全文,理清文章的叙事主线和整体时态(本文为一般过去时,介绍19世纪化石科学家Mary Anning的生平)。之后逐个对照每个空的中文提示,先判断该空所需的词性,再结合语境的单复数、时态、固定搭配等要求确定单词的正确形式,全部填完后再通读全文验证逻辑和语法是否通顺即可。
【解析】
37. 此处需要引导让步状语从句,表达“虽然、尽管”的含义,位于句首首字母需大写,故填Though/Although。
38. 形容词性物主代词own后接名词,中文提示“方法”对应method,此处指代多种寻找化石的方法,需用复数形式,故填methods。
39. 此处位于be动词后作表语,中文提示“有活力的、存活的”对应形容词alive,no longer alive表示“不复存活”,故填alive。
40. 动词cause后接名词作宾语,中文提示“论点、争论”对应argument,此处表示多次在科学家之间引发争论,用复数形式,故填arguments。
41. 此处引导宾语从句,表达“是否”的含义,在肯定句的doubt后引导宾语从句常用whether,故填whether。
42. 全文叙述过去的人物生平,时态为一般过去时,中文提示“继续”的过去式为continued,故填continued。
43. 形容词great后接名词,中文提示“风格”对应style,故填style。
44. 此处需要形容词修饰名词fossil fish,中文提示“特殊的”对应special,故填special。
45. 定冠词the后接名词,中文提示“重要性”对应importance,故填importance。
46. 此处需要形容词修饰名词women,中文提示“英国的”对应British,故填British。
【答案】
37. Though/Although 38. methods 39. alive 40. arguments 41. whether 42. continued 43. style 44. special 45. importance 46. British
【知识点】
