题目内容
7.A young American woman worked in a school in Shanghai.(41)Beforeshe came to China,she knew little about the Chinese culture of language. One day on her way to school,she went to a bank (42)to draw(draw) some money.To (43)hersurprise,the bank clerk(职员) asked her if she had had her lunch.She was surprised at such (44)aquestion because in the American culture it would mean that the bank clerk is inviting her to lunch.Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man's interest in dating the girl.Since this bank clerk(45)wasa stranger to the American woman,she was very puzzled(困惑的),and quickly answered that she(46)had eaten(eat) already.After this she went on to school and was even(47)moresurprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question.By now she understood that it could not be an (48)invitation(invite) but was puzzled as to why they asked it.In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours (49)(in) trying(try) to work out why so many people kept asking her this.At last she thought that these people must be(50)concerned(concern) about her health.She was rather thin at the time,and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!
In fact the question like that has no real meaning at all-it is only a greeting.
分析 本文通过一个小故事告诉大家语言存在文化差异.
解答 41.Before.考查连词.根据句意:她来中国之前,before"在…之前".
42.to draw.考查目的状语.根据句意:她去银行取些钱.动词不定式在句中做目的状语.
43.her 考查固定短语.to one's surprise,是英语的固定短语"令某人惊讶的是",根据上下文理解此处填her.
44.a 考查冠词.question个是可数名词,根据句意:她惊讶于这样的一个问题,such a question.故填不定冠词a.
45.was.考查时态.根据上下文的时态判断本句应和上文一样用一般过去时,所以答案填was.
46.had eaten.考查时态.根据句子的动词answered可以判断出吃饭发生在answered之前,所以应该用过去完成时had eaten.
47.more考查比较级.根据句意当她被问到同一个问题的时候,她感到更加惊讶,与之前的惊讶相比较,所以用比较级more surprised了.故该空填more.
48.invitation.考查名词.根据句意:她明白了那不是邀请.invitation是名词"邀请".
49.(in )trying 考查固定短语.spend time/money (in) doing sth,花费时间或者金钱干某事,故该空应填(in )trying.
50.concerned.考查固定短语. be concerned about:关心;挂念,故该空填concerned.
