15、以及空后的名词look判断应该用形容词最高级形式。2.disappointment。考查名词。形容词性物主代词后应该跟名词。3.equally。考查副词。修饰形容词great应该用副词。4.praised。考查过去分词。分析句子可知,the movies和动词praise之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态,故此处填praise的过去分词形式。5.that。考查连接词。that在此处引导表语从句。6.to see。考查非谓语动词。(be) disappointed to do sth.对做某事感到失望。7.things。考查名词复数。thing是可数名词,因为前面没有修饰语,所以用复数形式。8.are。考查时态和主谓一致。由语境可知此处应用一般现在时;在there be句型中,be的数应跟其后的名词保持一致,即在本句中be的数应和a thousand Hamlets保持一致,所以谓语动词用复数形式。9.in。考查介词。keep sth. in mind意为“将某事记在心中”,为固定短语。10.a。考查冠词。此处在讲我们要根据一部电影本身来判断它,而不要和它的同名小说进行比较,此处表泛指,故用不定冠词a。第9页（共9页）学科网（北京）股份有限公司
