7、小题 5】 baked考查非谓语动词。此处修饰名词， bake和 potatoes之间是被动关系，应该用过去分词，填 baked。 【小题 6】 an 考查冠词。空后面的名词 official是可数名词，前面必须有限定词，elected是以元音音素开头的单词，故填不定冠词 an。 【小题 7】 as考查连词。此处是 “as+形容词 +as”表示的同级比较句型，所以填 as。句意：他们将和拿着热土豆一样痛苦，困难。 【小题 8】 higher考查形容词。根据下文可知作者指提高人们的纳税，所以是和现有的税率相比，应用比较级形式，填 higher。 【小题 9】 if考查连词。从前后两句话的内容可以
