Answer 1

【小题3】plays
【小题4】arrived

【小题6】would be

解析试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了一对好朋友在一家超市工作生活的情况，随着老板获得自己的第一次比赛胜利，他们认为自己的生活也变得好起来了。
【小题1】结合语境可知此处指的是他们喜欢在一起工作。Enjoy后常接动名词做宾语，动名词在此表示抽象动作，故填动名词working，工作。
【小题2】make后接不带to的不定式做宾语补足语，根据填原形动词cry，哭。
【小题3】联系本句时间状语three times a week 一周三次，可知本句描述的是经常性的动作，故用一般现在时态。主语he是单数第三人称，故谓语动词用单数，填plays，玩耍，打球。
【小题4】根据本句时间状语one day一天，可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时态。故填过去式动词arrived，到达。
【小题5】前夕上下文，可知此处指的是这两个女孩很震惊。结合语境可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作，故用一般过去时态。主语是动作对象，故用被动语态。The girls 是复数形式，故填were shocked，被震惊。
【小题6】结合语境可知此处指的是，他们认为在这个超市工作，生活将要变得好多了。结合语境可知本句描述的是站在过去角度看将来发生的动作，故用过去将来时态。故填would be，将要。
考点：短文中动词的运用能力
点评：由于本题已经给出所需单词，故完成比较简单。解答此类题型的方法一般就是根据上下文及时间状语，主语的人称与数，判断出动词的时态和数的变化，然后进行适当的词形变换，完成阅读注意动词，名词等一般要有词形变化，注意主谓语数的一致问题。而介词则没有词形变化。在叙事性短文中，谓语动词多为一般过去时态及现在完成时态，说明性短文中谓语动词多为一般现在时态。
