题目内容
9.This afternoon,I spoke with Governor Malloy and FBI Director Mueller.I offered Governor Malloy my condolences(吊唁,慰问) on behalf of the nation,and made it clear that he will have every single resource that he needs (33)to investigate(investigate) this heinous(令人发指的)crime,care for the victims,comfort their families.(34)having endured (endure) too many of these tragedies in the past few years.And each time I learn the news I react not as a President,but as anybody else would-as a parent.And that was especially true today.I know there's not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.
The majority of those (35)who died today were children-beautiful little kids between the ages of 5and 10years old.They had their entire lives ahead of them-birthdays,graduations,weddings,kids of their own.Among the (36)fallen (fall) were also teachers-men and women who devoted their lives to (37)helping (help) our children fulfill their dreams.
So our hearts are broken today-for the parents and grandparents,sisters and brothers of these little children,and for the families of the adults who (38)were lost (lose).Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well,for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight,they know that their children's innocence has been torn away from them too early,and there are no words that will ease their pain.
As a country,we have been through this too many times.(39)whether it's an elementary school in Newtown,or a shopping mall in Oregon,or a temple in Wisconsin,or a movie theater in Aurora,or a street corner in Chicago-these neighborhoods are our neighborhoods,and these children are our children.And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies (40)like this,regardless of the politics.
分析 本文是奥巴马就美国康涅狄格州小学枪案的讲话,主要讲述奥巴马总统代表全国人民向州长Malloy致唁,并明确表示他可以动用一切所需资源来调查这起凶杀的案件,来抚恤逝者,慰问家人.对类似这样的惨案感到心碎,感到极度的悲痛.号召人民要团结一致,拿出美国人的精神,采取有意义的措施,避免更多类似惨案出现,面对苦难,大家要互相帮助.
解答 33.to investigate 考查目的状语.根据语境"he will have every single resource that he needs"可知,他可以动用一切所需资源来调查这起凶杀的案件,"that he needs 作‘resource'的后置定语",后面的不定式"to investigate the heinous crime…",故填to investigate.
34.having endured 考查现在分词的完成式.分析句子结构可知,主句为"And each time I learn the news I react not as a President",主句的主语为"I",与动词"endure"存在逻辑上的主动关系,且有明显的动作先后关系,即"忍受这些惨案发生"先于"意识到"发生,因此用现在分词的完成式作状语,故填having endured.
35.who 考查关系代词. 分析句子"The majority of those (35)who died today were children-beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old"结构可知," died today"为定语从句,先行词为those,从句中缺少主语且先行词是人称代词,因此只能用关系代词who,故填who.
36.fallen 考查过去分词. 固定短语"the+形容词/过去分词 逝者,阵亡的人"表一类人;根据句意可知,逝者中有教师,和和致力于帮助孩子们实现梦想的女人们,故填fallen.
37.helping 考查动名词.根据固定结构"devote one's life to doing 致力于作某事"可知,介词"to"之后应用 动名词helping.
38.were lost 考查过去时的被动语态.根据语境可知,这里表示为了那些丧生的大人们,我们的心痛同样献给幸存者的家长们.短语"be lost 丧失,损失",动作发生在过去应用一般过去时,故填were lost.
39.whether 考查连词.根据句子后面的"or"及句意可知,这里用了结构"whether…or 无论,不论…",不论是牛顿的小学,或是俄勒冈的商场,或是威斯康辛的寺庙,他们都是我们的街区,故填whether.
40.like 考查介词."like 像,类似…",根据句意可知,我们要团结一致,采取有意义的措施,避免类似更多惨案的发生,故填like.
