三、用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空，
每词仅用一次
run after recommend recent
pay the price history

3. I've been very busy because of the final exams.
4. He for being lazy and failed his maths test.
5. I love reading novels because they teach me about the past in an interesting way.

1. recommendations 2. run after 3. recently 4. paid the price 5. historical

【分析】
需根据每个句子的语法结构（如some后接名词、had to后接动词原形、时态要求、修饰名词用形容词等），结合方框内词语的词性，对词语进行适当变形，确保每词仅用一次。具体思路：1. 第1题some后需名词，将动词recommend变为名词复数；2. 第2题had to后接动词原形，直接用短语run after；3. 第3题需副词作时间状语，将形容词recent变为副词；4. 第4题句子为一般过去时，短语pay the price用过去式；5. 第5题修饰名词novels，将名词history变为形容词。
【解析】
1. 句意：我们英语老师给了我们一些这个月要读的书的好建议。some后接可数名词复数，动词recommend的名词形式是recommendation，复数为recommendations，故填recommendations。
2. 句意：小男孩不得不追他的球，因为它滚到了街上。had to后接动词原形，run after是动词短语原形，故填run after。
3. 句意：因为期末考试，我最近一直很忙。此处需副词作时间状语，形容词recent的副词形式是recently，故填recently。
4. 句意：他因为懒惰付出了代价，数学考试不及格。根据failed可知句子为一般过去时，pay的过去式是paid，故填paid the price。
5. 句意：我喜欢读历史小说，因为它们以有趣的方式教我关于过去的知识。此处需形容词修饰名词novels，名词history的形容词形式是historical，故填historical。
【答案】
1. recommendations 2. run after 3. recently 4. paid the price 5. historical
【知识点】
动词变名词、词性转换、短语时态运用
