試題分析：文章講述六個(gè)人被困在礦底下，救援人員對(duì)他們的施救過(guò)程。
小題1:句意：如果他們沒(méi)有能夠被帶到地面，很快就會(huì)失去生命。因?yàn)槭莟heir所以名詞life用復(fù)數(shù)。
小題2:然而，救援工作證明是很難的。Prove表示“證明是”的時(shí)候，是連系動(dòng)詞，不能用被動(dòng)，和be動(dòng)詞連用應(yīng)該用proving。
小題3:如果使用爆炸，震動(dòng)會(huì)導(dǎo)致礦場(chǎng)的頂部倒塌。這里使用了cause sb to do sth.
小題4:他們打算用一個(gè)特殊的膠囊將礦工從下面帶上來(lái)。用不定冠詞a，泛指“一個(gè)特殊的膠囊”。
小題5:如果在泥土下面沒(méi)有一層厚厚的巖石層，他們就會(huì)在幾小時(shí)之內(nèi)完成這個(gè)工作。這里用if引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。
小題6:同時(shí)，一個(gè)麥克風(fēng)被放低進(jìn)入煤礦里面。這里需要?jiǎng)釉~lower“放低”，因?yàn)槭潜粍?dòng)關(guān)系，用is lowered。
小題7:雖然他們的水和食物快用完了。Food和drink是并列關(guān)系。用and.
小題8:這些人很興奮，相信很快就能出去了.這里需要形容詞.填cheerful.
小題9:他們被告知救援工作進(jìn)展很順利。修飾副詞：progressing應(yīng)該用副詞.
小題10:如果他們知道很難鉆通堅(jiān)硬的巖石，他們就會(huì)灰心了.這里用介詞“through”，表示“穿過(guò)”。
