试题分析:该文章主要讲述了美国短篇小说作家欧.亨利的故事。
【1】used 考查非谓语动词。use 在此应用过去分词形式做定语,修饰name。
【2】himself 考查反身代词。teach oneself自学,主语是he, 反身代词用himself。
【3】where考查定语从句。 从句修饰先行词Texas,先行词在从句中做状语,定语从句用where引导。
【4】missing 考查现在分词化的形容词。Missing不见了的,go 为系动词,后面跟形容词。
【5】to have stolen 考查动词非谓语。欧.亨利被认为偷了钱,sb be believed to have done sth, 某人被认为做过某事。
【6】was sent考查时态语态。欧.亨利被关进了监狱,用过去时态被动语态。
【7】the 考查冠词。在监狱中的三年,特指,用the。
【8】mostly 考查副词。此处修饰动词write用副词。
【9】as/ though 考查关系词。该句句意为,人们喜欢他的故事,是因为尽管故事简单,但却总是让读者感到意外地,在故事末尾突然发生逆转。此处为as/though引导的让步状语从句
【10】with 考查介词。with a sudden change在句中做状语。
