Question

Born in Italy, Galileo Galilei, was a Tuscan astronomer, philosopher, and physicist. He is closely associated with the 36     (science) revolution. For his great achievements, he has been referred to as the “father of modern astronomy”, as the “father of modern physics”, and as “father of science”. The work of Galileo 37         (consider) to be a significant break from that of Aristotle. In addition, his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church is taken as 38     major early example of the conflict of authority and freedom of thought, particularly with science, 39      Western society. He was a man 40      experimented—never did he take anything for granted. Instead, he despised（蔑視） the prejudices and book learning of the Aristotelians and drew his 41      (conclude) fearlessly. He had been the first 42     (turn) a telescope to the sky, and he had seen there evidence enough to overthrow（推翻） Aristotle and Ptolemy together. Although Galileo found 43       difficult for him to make people 44      (convince) of his theories, he still stuck to his views. His observations showed the theory that the earth moves around the sun was right. It was only many years later 45     the world recognized his greatness.

Answer 1

小題1:scientific
小題2:is considered
小題3:a
小題4:in
小題5:who
小題6:conclusion
小題7:to turn
小題8:it
小題9:convince
小題10:that

小題1:scientific 后面有名詞revolution，說(shuō)明這里應(yīng)該用形容詞的形式，故scientific正確。
小題2:is considered 本句為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。伽利略的工作被認(rèn)為是天文學(xué)的重大突破。
小題3:a         指作為一個(gè)例子，用不定冠詞a表示泛指。
小題4:in         in Western society在西方社會(huì)里。
小題5:who        定語(yǔ)從句的關(guān)系代詞，指代先行詞a man在句中做主語(yǔ)。
小題6:conclusion     draw a conclusion得出結(jié)論.conclusion結(jié)論。
小題7:to turn         當(dāng)名詞為序數(shù)詞或者被序數(shù)詞修飾時(shí)，用不定式做定語(yǔ)對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾。
小題8:it     it做為形式賓語(yǔ)，后面的不定式是真正的賓語(yǔ)。
小題9:convinced      convinced信任的；make people convinced是人們相信，convinced在句中做補(bǔ)語(yǔ)。
小題10:that     本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：it was/is 被強(qiáng)調(diào)成分 that/who其它成分。本題強(qiáng)調(diào)的是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)only many years later。
