根据“used to ”可知原句是一般过去时态，疑问句用助动词 did，放在主语his uncle的前面，“use to ”的后
面接动词原形“be like ”，表示“过去是怎样的”。句首首字母w大写。故填What did；be like。

require strength；“有点帮助”用be of some help。故答案为(1). require strength; (2). be of some help。
5．这附近过去有一家购物中心。（use）
__________ a shopping center near here.
【答案】There used to be
【详解】
该句表示“某处有某物”，应用There be句型；“过去常常做某事”为used to do sth.；所以“过去有”表
达为There used to be，故填There used to be。
