三、語法填空

　　It seems recently that more and more of my friends are facing some seemingly unbeatable challenges in their lives. Some have lost their jobs __1__ some have failed marriages. All too many have health problems.

　　I don't know if it is desperation that __2__(cause) them to turn to me for advice or whether they have come to value our friendship. But it is difficult to offer words of hope when all they feel is __3__(hope). They expect answers to get them back on their feet again.

　　I have often struggled with what to say, mostly __4__ I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life. I remember how empty I felt __5__ someone cheerfully offered words like “Things will get __6__(good)!”

　　Now, being thought of __7__ a source of hope or a good example of what to do through printed words, I have even more people __8__(contact) me.

　　So what do I say? “Begin again.”

　　It sounds too simple, __9__ it is indeed the answer. All life challenges bring about __10__ ending and the chance for beginning.

　　1.______ 2.______ 3.______ 4.______ 5.______

　　6.______ 7.______ 8.______ 9.______ 10.______

　　答案：

　　1.and　兩個句子講的都是朋友遇到的問題，是并列關系，故填連詞and。

　　2.causes　if引導的從句中使用了強調句式it is... that，被強調部分是句子的主語desperation，本空是句子的謂語，故填單數第三人稱形式causes。

　　3.hopeless　在句子中作表語，主語是all，指代他們的感受，故填形容詞hopeless“無望的”。

　　4.because　空格后的句子解釋的是前面句子所說事情發(fā)生的原因，故填連詞because。

　　5.after　根據語境及邏輯關系判斷，此處說的是別人說完鼓勵的話“之后”我的感受，所以本空填連詞after。

　　6.better　本句暗含未來與目前狀況的比較，用比較級better。

　　7.as　think of...as...“認為……是……”，是固定短語，此處用的是其現在分詞的被動式作原因狀語。

　　8.contacting　people與contact是主動關系，故填現在分詞。

　　9.but　句意：這聽起來很簡單，但的確就是答案。故填表示轉折的連詞but。

　　10.an　句意：生活中的挑戰(zhàn)總會結束，并且會是重新開始的機會。泛指“結尾，結束”，ending前用不定冠詞。

　　四、短文改錯

　　答案：

　　I have a good friend name is Han Meimei. She is our monitor and one of the excellent students in our class. Although she is clever, but she works very hard. We have a lot common and have a lot to talk about. One evening she told me that something happened when her parents out. She was doing her homework she smelt something burning. She stopped look out of the window and a cloud of smoke coming out of her neighbor's house. She called 119 . Ten minutes later, the firemen came and put out fire. neighbor was very thankful for her help.

　　解析：

　　第一處：who's→whose　此處是一個定語從句，修飾friend, whose在從句中作定語修飾name。

　　第二處：刪除but　在although/though引導的狀語從句中，它們與but不能同時存在。

　　第三處：on→in　have a lot in common是固定短語，意為“有許多共同之處”。

　　第四處：was→were　時間狀語從句中的主語her parents是復數，故其系動詞改為were。

　　第五處：while→when　be doing...when...“正在做某事時，這時/突然……”。

　　第六處：stopped后加to　句意為：她停下來去看窗外。stop to do sth. 意為“停下來去做某事”。

　　第七處：find→found　and前后的并列謂語的時態(tài)應是一致的，前面是stopped，故后面也應用過去式found。

　　第八處：immediate→immediately　修飾動詞called應用副詞。

　　第九處：out后加the　此處表特指，應用定冠詞。

　　第十處：His→Her　根據上下文人稱對應關系可知應用Her。
