Answer

1.running

2.slipped

3.difficulty

4.was rising

5.successfully

6.A

7.who

8.where

9.She

10.to

【解析】

1.1】考查现在分词做定语。had created 是句子的谓语动词，所以run应该用非谓语动词，根据句意river 和run之间是主动关系，故用现在分词做定语，此处填running 。

2.2】从句部分是一般过去时态，所以主句部分也用一般过去时态，故此出填slipped。

3.3】根据句意：Nancy 严重受伤，只能极其困难地走路。great 修饰名词，difficult 是形容词，故填名词difficulty。

4.4】根据句意可知：水在上升。因为讲的是过去的事情，故用过去进行时态was rising。

5.5】副词修饰动词，succeed 是动词，所以用它的副词形式successfully。

6.6】根据句意可知：一架直升飞机将一名医生放下。故此处填A。一架直升飞机。

7.7】a doctor做先行词，所以后面应是who引导的非限制性定语从句。故填who。

8.8】the school gym 做先行词，表示地点，根据句意可知此处因该是where引导的非限制性定语从句，故填where。

9.9】句意是：她是Nancy 丢失的19头牛之一。此处用拟人的写法故填She 。

10.10】固定搭配owe…to..把---归功于---，故此处填to。

考点：考查语法填空。
