一、用方框中所给词的适当形式填空
receive wave final cancer take off
1. They arrived at the end of last week.
2. Bill his hand to us and then drove away.
3. The film tells the story of Wei and a girl who fight against (和……斗争) together.
4. As the old saying goes, “It is better to give than .”
5. He his coat and then sat down.

1. finally 2. waved 3. cancer 4. to receive 5. took off

【分析】
解题思路：先明确方框内单词的含义，再结合每个句子的语境、语法要求（词性、时态、固定搭配等）选择对应单词并变形：1. 需副词修饰动词；2. 需一般过去式动词；3. 需名词作介词宾语；4. 需符合固定句型结构；5. 需一般过去式动词短语。
【解析】
1. 空处修饰动词arrived，需用副词，final的副词形式为finally，故填finally。
2. 由and后drove（过去式）可知，此处用一般过去时，wave的过去式为waved，wave one’s hand是“挥手”，符合语境，故填waved。
3. fight against后接名词，cancer是名词“癌症”，无需变形，故填cancer。
4. 固定句型“it is better to do sth. than to do sth.”（做某事比做某事更好），此处需用to receive，对应give的结构，故填to receive。
5. 由and后sat（过去式）可知，此处用一般过去时，take off的过去式为took off，意为“脱掉”，符合语境，故填took off。
【答案】
1. finally 2. waved 3. cancer 4. to receive 5. took off
【知识点】
副词用法、动词过去式、名词用法、固定句型、动词短语
