Jane was walking round the department store. She remembered how difficult ___31___ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was as easy ___32___ (please) as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume.
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was not ___33___ pleasant experience:people stepped on your feet or ___34___ (push) you with their elbows(肘部), hurrying ahead to get to a bargain.
Jane paused in front of a counter ___35___ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her ___36___ (choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
Jane stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered. She found some good quality pipes ___37___ sale. She did not hesitate for long: although her father smoke da pipe only once in a while, she knew that this was a present which was bound to please ___38___.
When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already ___39___ table having supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane ___40___ (inform).
参及解析:
31. it。it在宾语从句中用作形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father。
32. to please。sb is easy to do sth是英语中的固定句型。
33. a。experience表示经历为可数名词,这里指一次愉快的经历。
34. pushed。因与stepped并列,故要用一般过去时。
35. where。where在此引导定语从句,表示地点。
36. choice。由于是用在形容词性物主代词后,所以只能用其名词形式。
37. on。on sale是固定搭配,意为“出售”。
38. him。由于给父亲买礼物,所以应该是使父亲高兴。please him的意思是“使他高兴”。
39. at。at table表示“在餐桌边”“在进餐”,是习惯搭配。
40. was informed。根据句意,此处应用一般过去时,又因Jane与inform之间为被动关系, 故填was informed。

I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting when my car ___31___ (break) down near a remote and poor village.

I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess’s courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. ___37___ villagers brought me goat’s cheese and hone. We drank together and talked ___38___ (merry) till far into the night.
When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman ___39___the trouble I had caused ___40___.
“语法填空”答案及解析:
31. broke。用过去式,因为前面用的是过去进行时,此句中的 when 意为“这时突然”,类似的又如:I was going to bed when the telephone rang. 我正要睡觉,忽然电话响了。
32. who。指人,且用作主语,故用 who。
33. as。考查honour…as…结构,其中的 as 意为“作为”。
34. settled。注意用过去分词,考查“get+宾语+过去分词”结构,getting me settled into…的意思是“安排我住进……”。
35. a。表示不确指概念,故用不定冠词。
36. where。引导定语从句,用作地点状语;定语从句修饰名词a small town。
37. other。指其他的村民(from www.nmet168.com)。
38. merrily。因为是用作状语,修饰动词,故要用副词形式。
39. for。考查 reward sb for sth 结构,其意为“因某事报答人”。
40. her。因前面提到是一位 old woman,故用 her。

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people‘s daily life. ___31___ these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop ___32___ (help) it grow”, is based on the following story. It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help ___33___rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about ___34___ day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected. One day, he came up with an idea ___35___ he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day. He was very tired ___36___ doing this for a whole day, ___37___ he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” ___38___ (high)。
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither. This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their ___39___ (nature)
course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often ___40___ (result)
in the contrary to our intention.
“语法填空”答案及解析:31. Behind /In.指在这些谚语的背后,也就是说这些谚语所蕴涵的故事。
32. to help.plucking up a crop to help it grow的意思是“拔苗助长”,其中的不定式to help it grow为目的状语。
33. his.因前面提到的是a short-tempered man,故此处用 his 表示“他的”。
34. it / this / that.用以指代 help his rice crop grow up quickly 这件事。
35. that.用以引导同位语从句。
36. after / from.用 after 可以句意上得到解释,指工作了一整天之后感到很累了;用from可以从搭配上得到解释,因为 be tired from 为固定搭配,其意为“因为……而劳累”,其中的from 表原因,又如:He was tired from walking all the way to the station. 他因一路走到车站而觉得累。She was tired from long studying.她因长时间学习而感到累了。注意:be tried of 与be tired from不同,前者表示“对…感到厌烦或厌倦”,后者表示“因…而疲倦”。
37. but.前后意思转折。
38. higher.根据句意可知。指比庄稼比“被拔”之前“长高”了。
39. natural.用于名词前作定语,故用形容词形式。natural course 指自然生长过程。
40. results.因主语为动名词,故谓语要用单数。result in 为固定搭配,意为“导致……结果”。又如:His doing things should result in success. 由他做的话,应该会成功。 Failure to obey the regulations may result in disqualification. 若不遵守规章,就会被取消资格。

36.be learned 事实上;暴力是可以学的。
37.what 引导一个宾语从句,并且在从句中作宾语,所以要用what。

答案:
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过叙述一棵老榆树大难不死的故事告诉我们这样一个道理:经历疼痛才能变得坚强,才能抵挡住更大的困难甚至是灾难。
31.around 下文告诉我们,树皮被铁链磨出了一个槽。由此可以看出,这是由牛绕着树来回踱步造成的。
32.was deepened 随着岁月的流逝,磨出来的槽逐渐被加深了。所以要用被动,另外,由于动作发生在过去,所以动词要用过去式。
33.After after+时间段,表示经过一段时间之后。
34.hanging down hang down和其逻辑主语one link是主谓关系,所以用现在分词表示主动,构成leave+宾语+现在分词。
35.the in the form of固定用法,意思是:以……的形式。
36.and 榆树受到感染,继而死去。

After reading the words, the girl burst out crying, regretting what she had done to the boy.
1. [解析] 结合语境考查非谓语动词。由下文“who was considerate and was always there to help her”可得出答案。loving是由love去掉e后加ing构成的,loving意为“充满爱的”。
[答案] loving
2. [解析] 考查时态。在间接引语中,当动作或状态现在仍然如此时,可以保持原时态。故此处应用are。
[答案] are
3. [解析] 考查词性转换。由设空特点可以看出此处需要一个名词作动词do的宾语,所以应用operate的名词形式operation。
[答案] operation
4. [解析] 考查主格结构。注意主句和“her boyfriend________”之间缺少连接词,而且boyfriend与动词include之间为动宾关系,所以用过去分词与“her boyfriend”一起构成主格结构。
[答案] included
5. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。now that意为“既然,由于”。句意为“他问她‘既然你见到了光明,你愿意嫁给我吗?’”。
[答案] that
6. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。此处是指男孩的眼睑紧闭,故用his较为妥当。
[答案] his

[答案] the
8. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。由语境判断,女孩的做法使男孩非常伤心,男孩流着泪离开了。in tears“泪流满面地”。
[答案] in
9. [解析] 结合语境考查非性定语从句。关系代词which代指前面的先行词note,在定语从句中充当主语。注意空格前面的逗号,此处which不可用that替换。
[答案] which
10.[解析] 结合语境考查名词性物主代词。由前面的“before they are yours”可知,后面也应用名词性物主代词;此处是男孩留言的内容,应用第一人称,所以用mine。
[答案] mine

A London-based translation firm is offering parents-to-be the chance to check the meaning of prospective baby names in other languages to avoid causing their offspring future __1__ (embarrass).
Celebrity couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes might have thought twice about naming __2__ daughter Suri if they __3__(know) that it means “pickpocket” in Japanese, “turn sour” in French, and “horse mackerel” in Italian, suggests Today Translations.
__4__1000 pounds ( $ 1 678 ), the company’ s linguists will carry out a “basic name translation audit” of names,__5__(check) their meaning in 100 languages, or more for an additional cost.
While open to everyone, the firm said __6__ expects the service is likely to attract celebrity clients, who are known for giving their babies unusual names.
Other names of celebrities’ babies it has checked include Kai Rooney, the name of the newborn son of English soccer player Wayne Rooney,__7__ means “probably” in Finnish, “pier” in Estonian, and “stop it” in the west African language of Yoruba.
__8__ musicians Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale may have known Zuma meant “peace” in Arabic when __9__(choose) their son’ s name, they may not have been aware it also translates as “Lord frowns in anger” in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.
However, some unusual name choices of celebrities’ babies are beyond easy translation, the company admits,__10__ as Jermajesty — the name of Michael Jackson’ s brother Jermaine’s son.
1. [解析] 考查词性转换。空格前为形容词修饰语,而且此处是cause sb.sth.的结构,因此断定此处需要填名词,embarrass的名词形式为embarrassment。
[答案] embarrassment
2. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词,因为上文提到“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes”,所以用their,意为“他们的女儿”。此处表示“名人夫妇Tom Cruise和Katie Holmes要是知道Suri这个名字在其他语言里的意义的话,他们也许会三思后再起名字了”。
[答案] their
3. [解析] 结合语境考查动词的时态。由上文“might have thought”可知,条件句中应用“had+过去分词”。
[答案] had known
4. [解析] 结合语境考查介词。此处for表示交换,此处表示公司给你提供名字方面的调查服务是要收取一定的服务费的。
[答案] For
5. [解析] 结合语境考查现在分词作伴随状语。文章中的“__5__(check)their meaning in 100 languages”作伴随状语;设空处的动词与主句的主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用check的现在分词形式。
[答案] checking
6. [解析] 结合语境考查代词的用法。空格位于宾语从句的谓语动词之前,因此此处需要能作主语的名词或代词。上文刚出现过the firm,所以此处用it来代替它。
[答案] it
7. [解析] 考查which引导的非性定语从句。此处which引导的定语从句是修饰Kai Rooney这个名字的,which在定语从句中作主语。
[答案] which
8. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。此处意为“尽管音乐家Gwen Stefani和Gavin Rossdale也许知道Zuma在阿拉伯语中的意思是和平,但是他们也许不知道……”。前后两个分句之间有逻辑上的让步关系,故此处应填While/Although/Though。
[答案] While/Although/Though
9. [解析] 结合语境考查“连词+分词”型省略句。连词后设空且给出动词提示词,这时要首先考虑动词和句子主语的关系,若是主谓关系就用现在分词,此处主语和choose之间就是主谓关系。
[答案] choosing
10.[解析] 结合语境考查such as的用法。此处such as用于列举事物。句意:然而有些名人的孩子的名字不好翻译,例如乔丹的弟弟的儿子的名字Jermajesty就不好翻译。
[答案] such

1. [解析] 结合语境考查非谓语动词。此处分词的完成式表示状态位于主句谓语动词died之前。谓语动词之后设空,且提示词为动词时,答案首选非谓语动词。
[答案] having been
2. [解析] 结合语境考查where连接的地点状语从句。此处意为“她在她住的地方去世了”。此处指她住的地方,所以用where。
[答案] where

[答案] for
4. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。从设空的特点看此处为名词前设空,所以答案首选限定词,结合上下文可知,应用her。
[答案] her
5. [解析] 结合语境考查不定式作目的状语或现在分词作伴随状语。此处意为“Babler说Dean的好伙伴Bruno Nordmanis给他打电话说……”。
[答案] to say/saying
6. [解析] 结合语境考查动词的时态。动词recover表示的动作和“had been hospitalized”所表示的动作都发生在主句谓语动词“said”所表示的动作之前,即过去的过去,所以用过去完成时。
[答案] had recovered
7. [解析] 结合语境考查不定冠词。此处用a表示泛指,staff nurse意为“医院护士”。此处意为“该养老院的一位护士”。
[答案] A
8. [解析] 结合语境考查连词。两句话之间设空,可推知答案首选连词。句意:星期日晚些时候该养老院的一位护士说只有到星期一早上管理人员来值班时才能说明情况。故答案为till或until。
[答案] till/until
9. [解析] 结合语境考查介词的用法。由“the night of April 14,1912”可知此处是指特定的某个夜晚,所以用介词on。[答案] on
10.[解析] 考查词性转换。句意:在活下来的706人中大多数为妇女和儿童,Dean是其中之一。mostly意为“大多数地,一般情况下,通常”。
[答案] mostly

[答案] for
7. [解析] 结合语境考查词性转换。空格前有连词and,因此and前后的词的词性应是一致的;由courage为名词可知,后面也应用名词,因此要用commit的名词形式commitment。
[答案] commitment
8. [解析] 结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空,所以答案应首选限定词,此处用冠词不妥,用your限定,与下文的“changing your habits”相照应。
[答案] your
9. [解析] 结合语境考查that连接的宾语从句。注意动词forget后的内容“success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life”成分完整,故此处应用that。
[答案] that

[答案] they
8.[解析] 考查词性转换。从前面的修饰语any可知,此处需要一个名词形式,apply为动词,根据语境可知,此处应用其名词形式application。

[答案] student
9. [解析] 这也是一个语境词,意思是说英雄的含义在不断变化,应填meaning与第二段的第一句照应。

32. and “Do sth., and sb./sth. will…”是一个常见句型,例如:Use your head, and you’ll find a way.
33. neither /nor /or 若上句是否定句,则后一句常用neither或nor表示“也不,也没有”。 另外,在否定句中的并列连词不用and多用or。

35. with with no hope at all= without any hope: 不怀任何希望。
36. succeeded 此处缺少谓语动词。
37. biggest 这里应该用形容词的最高级形式,在one of the + 形容词+名词的结构里,形容词应是最高级形式,例如:She is one of the most diligent students in our class.

36.(should) pull suggest (建议)后的宾语从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气,即should + V-原形,should 可省略。
37. by take sb.by the hand是习惯搭配,凡表示“拉、拖、握、揪、牵”等意思的英语动词都是这个搭配,即take/seize/pull/lead…sb. by the sleeve/hair/arm/nose/ear…。
38. ones 指代上文的scar,这里用复数指代篱笆上被钉子顶过的洞痕。
39. the 在这里是特指前面提到的疤痕scar,故应该加定冠词。
40. to succeed 鼓励某人做某事:encourage sb. to do sth. 。
