题目内容
9.Mrs.Jones was very fond of singing.She had a very good voice,(33)but some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil.Mrs.Jones was very conscious of this weakness,and took every opportunity she could find(34)to practise (practise) these high notes.As she lived in a small house,(35)where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family,she usually went for long walks along the country roads (36)whenever/if/when she had time,and practised her high notes there.Each time she heard a car or a person coming along the road,she stopped and waited (37)until/till she could no longer be heard before she started practising again,because she was a shy person,and because she was sensitive about those high notes.One afternoon,however,a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did not hear it until (38)it was only a few yards away from her.She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time.As the car passed her,she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over the driver's face.He put his brakes on violently,and as soon as the car stopped,(39)jumped (jump) out and began to examine all his tires carefully.
Mrs.Jones dared not tell him (40)what the noise heard had really been,so he went back into his car,and drove off,as puzzled as he had been when he stopped.
分析 本文讲述了琼斯太太有一副好嗓子,但是她的一些高音听起来像是一扇忘记上油的门,不好听.她意识到了这个缺点,所以总是到很远的地方去练声,而且遇到车或人经过时她总是停下来.有一次一辆车停在她的身后而她没有觉察,她正在唱一些最高和最难的音符,司机听到后连忙下车检查车胎.
解答 33.but 考查连词.上句"琼斯太太有一副好嗓子"和下句"她的一些高音听起来像是一扇有人忘记上油的门"之间为转折关系,故填并列连词but.
34.to practise 考查非谓语. she could find为定语从句修饰先行词opportunity,此处不定式作目的状语,故填to practise.
35.where 考查定语从句.先行词house在从句中作地点状语,故填where.
36.whenever/if/when 考查状语从句.根据上句"她通常沿着乡间小路走很远的路(去练声)",可知下句为:无论什么时候/如果他有时间,或当他有时间的时候,故填whenever/if/when.
37.until/till 考查连词.根据上句"她停下来等着",可知下句意为"直到人们再也听不见她的声音为止",故填until/till.
38.it 考查代词.此处it为人称代词指代距离,句意为:离她只有几步远的地方,故填it.
39.jumped 考查并列谓语.根据前面的 stopped和后面的and began,可知此处与stopped和began一起作并列谓语,故填jumped.
40.what 考查宾语从句.分析句子结构可知,此处what引导宾语从句并作been的表语,故填what.
