【分析】
本题为用方框内单词/词组的正确形式补全对话,解题思路如下:①通读对话,理解上下文语境,明确每个空缺处的句子成分、所需词义及词性;②结合方框提供的词汇,依据语法规则(时态、词性变化、固定搭配等)调整词汇的正确形式;③将调整后的词汇代入空缺处,验证是否符合对话逻辑与语法要求。
【解析】
1. 句意为“他被认为是他那个时代最伟大的科学家之一”,固定搭配be recognized as表示“被认为是”,主语he为第三人称单数,时态为一般现在时,故填is recognized as。
2. 句意为“他的故事鼓舞了全世界的人”,此处为现在完成时,结构为“has+过去分词”,inspire的过去分词为inspired,故填inspired。
3. 句意为“他的成就是什么”,此处需名词,achieve的名词形式为achievement,常用复数形式achievements,故填achievements。
4. 句意为“他向广大观众解释难懂的科学思想”,此处需形容词修饰名词ideas,science的形容词形式为scientific,故填scientific。
5. 句意为“他出版过关于他的想法的书吗”,助动词did后接动词原形,故填publish。
6. 句意为“他在21岁生日后不久得了重病”,此处需副词修饰整个句子,short的副词形式为shortly,意为“不久”,故填shortly。
7. 句意为“疾病会慢慢夺走他控制肌肉的能力”,muscle为可数名词,此处用复数形式表示泛指,故填muscles。
8. 句意为“但他没有放弃”,固定搭配give up表示“放弃”,助动词didn't后接动词原形,故填give up。
【答案】
1. is recognized as
2. inspired
3. achievements
4. scientific
5. publish
6. shortly
7. muscles
8. give up
