Question

【题目】I was traveling in a small place in New York. That place had no taxi for a short 【1】 (distant). One had to take a rickshaw(人力车).

I called out for an old man in the waiting line. Before I got on the rickshaw, I 【2】 (automatic) asked how much he would charge to take me across to the Mall. I 【3】 (tell) “10 dollars”. Then I started bargaining. He just gave a hard smile and said, “Whatever you feel like, please give me. It is not necessary【4】(bargain) on this small amount.”

I was a bit ashamed at myself and kept quiet while he continued, “【5】(like) those taxis, my vehicle does not run on petrol or diesel(柴油) or even gas; 【6】 runs on my sweat. So please give it to me 【7】 a smile, for the money has to feed so many 【8】(hunger) mouths at home.”

When we reached the Mall, I gave him the money and the smile 【9】 requested and added a gentle pat on his back. He smiled back as if to give me a receipt and I would preserve his smile for 【10】 long time.

【解析】试题分析：本文属于记叙文，讲述了在纽约乘坐人力三轮车时，车夫的一番话让我感觉他们生活的艰难与不易。

【1】distance 考查名词。本题横线前面是形容词short，说明横线上应该使用名词，所以使用形容词distant的名词形式distance。

【2】automatically 考查副词。在英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常做定语或表语。本句中使用副词automatically在句中做状语修饰谓语动词。

【3】was told 考查时态语态。本句中主语I与动词tell构成被动关系，且根据第一段内容可知本文叙述过去发生的事情，所以本句使用一般过去时的被动语态was told。

【4】to bargain 考查不定式用法。本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to bargain on this small amount。

【5】Unlike 考查介词。本句中介词unlike和...不一样；句意：和那些出租车不一样，我的这种车不用汽油，用的我的汗水。

【6】it 考查代词。在英语中it通常指代上文出现的同一事物，本句中it指代前句中的my vehicle。

【7】with 考查介词。本句中介词with表示“带着”，表示伴随。请面对微笑把钱给我， 因为这钱要养活很多张饥饿的嘴。

【8】hungry 考查形容词。在英语中形容词通常做定语修饰名词，或做表语和系动词构成系表结构。本句中使用形容词hungry做定语修饰名词mouths。

【9】as 考查连词。本句中连词as意为“像...一样”。引导方式状语细节，在后面省略了we were。句意：当我们到达购物中心的时候，像被要求的那样我给了他钱和微笑，并温柔地拍了拍他的后背。

【10】a 考查固定短语。短语for a long time很长一段时间，该短语在句中作时间状语。
