Thomas was the first person to 【1】 I spoke after arriving in Washington D. C. I got off the bus, and walked out and there he was, 【2】 (sit) by a fountain in the sun. As I got much 【3】 (close), I could see he was 【4】 pain and noticed the walking frame next to him. I sat down and we started talking. I asked Thomas what 【5】 was like here being homeless. He 【6】 (response), “It’s been ten years now. When I was in the army, there was no way I could have pictured being here.” Thomas had served in Vietnam for four years, but he didn’t want to speak much about that. After a short while, I told him what I did and that I’d love to give him a haircut. 【7】 (instant) he said, “What, right here? Why not! I am not moving, though. I can’t move very well at all anymore.”
He wasn’t kidding. I put my gown (长袍) around him right there where he was lying and started cutting. I loved every minute of this. The sun 【8】 (keep) shining as Thomas told me about his early life growing up in West Virginia. With the mirror 【9】 (hand) to him in the end, he stared at his clear 【10】 (reflect) for a really long time, then looked up at me and said, “I want to know why you did that for me.” I told him the truth—I love hearing his story. Fulfillment is different for everyone, but for me, connecting with others is what makes me tick.

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍作者在华盛顿听取一个残疾人讲述自己故事。
【1】考查限制性定语从句的关系词。根据句子成分分析,可知空中为定语从句的引导词,在从句中做spoke to的宾语,指代的是the person,故填whom。
【2】考查非谓语动词。句意:我下了车,走了出去,他就在那,坐在阳光下的喷泉旁。根据句子分析,sit在句子中做的是伴随状语,和他的逻辑主语he是主动关系,应用现在分词做状语,故填sitting。
【3】考查形容词比较级。句意:当我走近时,我看到他很痛苦,并注意到他旁边的行走架。
根据句意分析,为走得更近,并且much一般修饰形容词的比较级,故填closer。
【4】考查固定搭配。句意:当我走近时,我看到他很痛苦,并注意到他旁边的行走架。in pain为固定词组,意为在痛苦中,故填in。
【5】考查代词。句意:我问托马斯在这里无家可归是什么感觉。空中缺少的是主语,指代的是后面的动名词being homeless,it一般可以做形式主语,代替真正的主语不定式或者动名词,故填it。
【6】考查时态。分析句子可知,空中缺少的是谓语,全篇都在叙述过去的事情,用的时态都是一般过去时,故填responded。
【7】考查副词。空中用来修饰谓语动词说,做状语,应该用instant的副词形式,故填Instantly。
【8】考查时态。分析句子可知,空中缺少的是谓语,全文用的时态都是一般过去时,故填kept。
【9】考查with的复合结构。空中为with+名词+分词做状语,名词和分词之间构成的是被动关系,应用过去分词,故填handed。
【10】考查名词。分析句子可知,空中缺少的是stared at的宾语,应用reflect的名词形式,故填reflection。
定语从句中关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:
(1) 一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等。
(2) 二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why。
(3) 三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
根据小题1的句子成分分析,可知空中为定语从句的引导词,在从句中做spoke to的宾语,指代的是the person,故填whom。
