解析
1.去掉on.考查介词.last Friday前不用介词,所以去掉on.
2.death﹣﹣﹣deaths.考查名词复数.根据修饰词4,可知用名词复数deaths,表示"死亡四人".
3.last﹣﹣﹣ lasted.考查动词的过去式.和谓语动词 began 并列,表示过去的动作用过去式 lasted.
4.while﹣﹣﹣when.考查连词.状语从句we heard a loud noise表示瞬间的动作,所以用when.
5.late﹣﹣﹣later.考查单词辨析.表示一段时间以后用later.late表示"迟到".
6.shocking﹣﹣﹣shock.考查固定短语.much to my shock是固定短语,表示"让我非常震惊的是".
7.were﹣﹣﹣ was.考查主谓一致关系.根据主语one of my boys 可知谓语动词用单数 was.
8.them﹣﹣﹣ him.考查代词一致.代指one of my boys 用him.
9.burying﹣﹣﹣buried.考查非谓语动词.做定语,修饰those,二者之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词buried.
10.homeless前加the.考查冠词.表示"无家可归的人"用the homeless.
