问题描述:

They didn't sleep ( )all that night括号中项almost是
nearly.为什么?The villagers who _____( live)here lost their____(life) in the flood.请说明及原因.
为什么不能填nearly

They didn't sleep almost all that night.他们几乎一整晚没睡.almost表示程度,几乎,差不多,这里表示他们可能中间睡了那么一小会儿,所以说基本上没怎么睡.
The villagers who lived here lost their lives in the flood.住在这儿的村民们在洪灾中失去了生命.参考整个句子的时态是一般过去时,所以live要用lived,life当生活讲时是不可数名词,当生命讲时是可数名词,因为村民们不只一个,所以要用复数,life的复数是lives.
nearly 是由near变形而来,表示接近于……,在什么程度附近;almost由all+most变形而来,基本上全部都……,二者强调的意义不同,这里几乎整个晚上都没睡觉的意思,所以用almost最合适
