However, __34____there are many positive developments _
However, __34____there are many positive developments associated with the Internet, there are also certain fears and concerns.34为什么填while而不用although呢，谢谢了
我有更好的答案
Although要么放句首，要么放句子中间。同时Although本身表示尽管，出现了Although, 同句中就不必要出现but, however这种并列连词。所以前面出现一个However的情况下，不能选Although。如果前面没有However，那么这句话选双选，既可以用Although, 也可以用while。Although 好于 while.这里However和Although冲突的感觉，就像你说汉语：但是，尽管互联网带来便利，也带来了担忧。你看，However完全不必要存在。所以这道题更考察的不是Although与but不能同时出现，而侧重于但是，尽管。。。这么说不通顺。最后最重要的一点。这题出的比较为了出题而出题，如果不是考试，生活中你这么说别人也是能听懂的。
因为后面有一个also，说明没有转折意思，although后半句是有转折意思的，只是but省略
因为however已经表示转折,不可以重复,就如用though不能再用but是一个道理,这里while是“当...时”的意思,用while就好.

只要弄懂两种完成时态所表示的概念就有游刃有余地填写争取时态.1、现在完成时指过去的行为依然影响到说话时情况,即行为发生在过去,但是说的则是现在的情况.判断标准是语言情景中有暗含现在的参照时间,如：Who has opened the door?谁把门打开了?【“开门（opened）”的行为发生在过去,现在的情况是“门还
“不给提示”也就是纯空格的命题.这种题可以填的是“虚词”,具体说就是：(1)代词,如he she,it,they,we；(2)名词前面,若没有限定词,很可能是填冠词或some,any,other(s),another等限定词；(3)在句子不缺主语、宾语或表语的情况下,名词或代词前面,一定是填介词,如 with,for；
这个问题问的太空了,让人无法回答啊.语法常用词.
为什么要比较难的呢我觉得贴近高考就行了.我也是广东的,用的是语法填空突破 再问： 我之前买了这本书，但已经全部做完了 再答： 不用买很难的吧我觉得没必要了。不过楼主要是英语很好的话去网上查查应该会有的，提升版的。再问： 开学就高二了，但因为英语能力从初中开始到现在一直都是比较出众的，所以想选高考类的训练自己 再答： 亲
你在市面上应该可以买得到,因为天下文章一大抄,那愁找不到资料,不过练习是次要的,最重要的是你能明白,做多做少无所谓,过来就是方法的问题了：首先先你要端正心态,不要急躁,不管别人考多少分,你做你自己的事,这样才能静下心来学习.要成为英语高手就必须比别人走更多的路,做更多的事,所以单词和语法都要拿下.首先,对于单词,有如下
1.flying2.was enjoying3.alarmed4.the5.successfully6.catching7.none8.with9.which10.was reported
none从句子看后半句应该指那些课有用/没用,因为动词用单数的has,连词用转折的but,因此应该填否定的none,即那些课都没有用.few 后用复数动词have
“不给提示”也就是纯空格的命题.这种题可以填的是“虚词”,具体说就是：(1)代词,如he she,it,they,we；(2)名词前面,若没有限定词,很可能是填冠词或some, any, other(s), another等限定词；(3)在句子不缺主语、宾语或表语的情况下,名词或代词前面,一定是填介词,如 with,f
状语从句 状语从句主要用来修饰主句或主句的谓语.一般可分为九大类,分别表示时间、 地点、原因、目的、结果、条件、让步、比较和方式.尽管种类较多,但由于 状语从句与汉语结构和用法相似,所以理解和掌握它并不难.状语从句的关键 是要掌握引导不同状语从句的常用连接词和特殊的连接词即考点.现分别列举 如下: 1．时间状语从句 引
whether ,whatever ,as soon as ,as if,as long as ,because,then,even if,In order that ,once,since,as far as ,now that ,as well as,untill,no matter +疑问词
主要是通过对句子语法的判断,一个句子说白了就是 主+谓+宾 你要搞清楚 主有什么词组成 谓有什么 宾有什么 然后看句子里还缺什么,缺的就是你要填的那个词性的词.其次是变形,多记忆些固定的词尾后缀.不过要注意还有一些固定的特殊词尾存在另外其实在语法填空里给的词大多数都是动词...变形的时候有一个技巧：如果需要副词 给你的
We parents wrongly show our (children) that ___failure___ (fail) is something to be ashamed of,and that nothing but top__performance__ (perform) ___lives___ (li
That is,it seems possi literally to be bored to（ death ） it is not necessary boredom itself that is （deadly ） 第一空 是介词短语 作 程度状语 第二空 是形容词 作表语 注意 deadly 是形容词 与 形容词
因为such+名词+as+名词,是一个固定结构,意思是"像...一样的...,如...一样的.",所以此处填as.句意:干预组的儿童,每周需要上5天体育课,此外还需要训练身体运动技巧,如身体平衡性和协调性的锻炼.
可以试试 曲一线的 5年高考 3年模拟 真题练练效果还是不一样的编排的比较合理吧 试题调研也是不错的 有专门的填空题一辑可以帮你系统的整理语法知识 还是很不错的希望能够帮助你啊
Chosen by Hong Kong comedy actor and (director,导演),Stephen Chow,Zhang Yuqi makes her (first,第一次) attempt in Chow's movie,CJ7 or A Hope.Like Gong Li and Zhang Zi
这个要联系上下文,看哪个词才是真正的谓语.而且过去分词也可以表示被动,所以你的问题“是填被动还是过去分词呢?”,不是什么问题把整个句子贴上来吧 这事个条件状语从句.主句将来时,从句一般现在.if引导的是从句.而且,此时的married是形容词,get married就是结婚的意思,不能说 get marry.party
3.it是形式主语,指代内容是to save the donkey,翻译过来：不值得去救一头驴.anything很明显没有理由填在这.410.by doing sth通过做什么事,固定搭配,在此翻译为：通过不放弃. 再问： 但为什么是填it 再答： 因为是形式主语的语法，即因为主语太长所以要先用一个词来引导再在后面解释
1.through2.again3.What4.a5.dead6.making7whom(that)8.until9.struck10.sad发布于： 21:05:24
