文章大意:本文講述了美國(guó)人的時(shí)間觀。
答案:
1.wisely 用副詞修飾動(dòng)詞use。
2.are trained 美國(guó)人被培訓(xùn)養(yǎng)成了使用自己的時(shí)間做建設(shè)性的事情的習(xí)慣。所以用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。
3.so/therefore 前后句之間為因果關(guān)系,所以填so/therefore。
4.who 此處為定語(yǔ)從句引導(dǎo)詞,空后的從句缺少主語(yǔ),所以填關(guān)系代詞;先行詞是人,所以填who。非限制性定語(yǔ)從句不用that。
5.to/toward(s) attitude“態(tài)度”后接介詞to或者toward(s)。
6.to regard be likely to do... “可能做……”。
7.not 非歐洲人把時(shí)間看得很隨意而不是很有價(jià)值的東西。
8.companies 空后的are可知,此處用復(fù)數(shù)。
9.least 在人們花最少時(shí)間準(zhǔn)備飯菜和吃飯的國(guó)家里,麥當(dāng)勞、肯德基和其他一些快餐公司都很成功。little的最高級(jí)為least。
10.bringing bring與句子主語(yǔ)they之間構(gòu)成邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,所以用其ing形式作狀語(yǔ)。
