答案：
1.考点：同义词
辨析：empty --- having nothing inside
blank --- devoid of writing, images, or marks:
deserted --- being left without help or support
vacant --- not occupied or used by anyone: a vacant room
If a container, bottle, or glass has nothing inside it, we say it is empty. For example: The box was empty --- all the money was gone.
If a room, building, town, or place has nothing or no one in it, we often use such words as empty, free, bare, deserted, uninhabited. For example: I think there’s a free table in the corner. / The little church was bare and cold. / We ran along the deserted beach. / The castle is now uninhabited.
If a screen, tape, or piece of paper has nothing written or recorded on it, we say it is blank: I want to record the film. Do we have any blank video cassettes? / Tom started at the blank sheet of paper in front of him.
