5.(2017·上海模拟改编)The cause he had devoted himself to ________(prove) a perfect success.
答案:proved 句意:他全身心投入的事业被证明是非常成功的。该句中he had devoted himself to是定语从句,修饰主语the cause,要填的词在句中作谓语。prove作“证明是”讲时,是系动词,不能用于被动结构,所以答案为prove。
6.—What do you know about the traffic accident ________(occur) yesterday?
—It was the drunken driver who was ________(blame) for it.
答案:occurring; to blame occur“发生”,是不及物动词,由于第一空是在句中作定语,所以要用occurring;“某人应该受到责备”常用sb. be to blame来表示,所以第二空要用to blame。
