答案解析:
1.答案:No matter what was said//Whatever was said
详解:
考查让步状语从句:no matter what/when/where/who/which/how结构可以引导让步状语结构,意思是“无论什么,无论何时,无论何处,无论谁,无论哪一个,无论如何”,分别等同于whatever/whenever/wherever/whoever/whichever/howver,句中“无论别人怎么说”,意即“无论别人说什么”,用no matter what或whatever引导。
考查被动语态:从句中what/whatever作主语,与“说”直接属于被动关系,所以用被动语态。
2.答案:is absored/involved in working on a puzzle
详解:
考查词组:“专心于”的表达是be absorbed in或be involved in,后面需接名词性成分。
考查work on的使用。Work on意为“从事,忙于”,根据语法需要变为working on。
