After(6)opening(open) it,he found two small table mats(垫子) and a sum of money totaling 25,000.He asked her about the contents."When we were to be married,"she said,"my grandma told me the secret of happy(7)marriage(marry) was never to argue,and I should just keep quiet and make a mat(8)if/whenI got angry with you."
The man was so(9)moved(move) that he had to fight back his tears.She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving!"Honey,"he said,"that explains the mats,but what about the money?Where did it come from?"
"Oh,"she said,"that's the money I made from selling (10)them."
分析 本文主要讲述的是一对夫妇已经结婚60多年了,他们分享一切,谈论一切,彼此之间没有秘密,除了那个女人在抽屉里有一个盒子,她告诉她丈夫不要打开它或问她关于这个盒子的事情.最后女人病得很重,医生说她不会康复了.此时,她同意丈夫把盒子打开.原来盒子里装的是女人卖小茶几垫攒的钱.
解答 1.about 考查介词的用法.根据They shared everything,talked (1)everything可知他们分享和谈论每一件事.talk about是固定搭配,意为:谈论.故该处填about.
2.that/which 考查定语从句.______she told her husband never to open or ask her about为定语从句,修饰先行词a box;定语从句中缺少open和about的宾语,指物,用关系代词that/which.故该处填that/which.
3.the 考查定冠词.本句中的女士特指上文中提到的妻子,因此,用定冠词the.故该处填the.
4.brought 考查动词时态.and连接并列谓语,前后时态保持一致.took为过去式,因此,本空应填bring的过去式brought.故该处填brought.
5.knew/should know 考查固定句式.It's time that sb.did/should do sth.是某人该做某事的时候了.故该处填knew/should know.
6.opening 考查非谓语动词作状语.主语he与open之间为主动关系,应用现在分词做状语.因此,本空填opening.
7.marriage 考查名词.a+形容词+名词.因此,本空填marry的名词形式marriage.故该处填marriage.
8.if/when 考查连词.当我生气的时候,我应当保持安静,并做一个垫子;如果我生气的话,我应当保持安静,并做一个垫子.两种说法都成立,因此,本空填when或if都可以.故该处填if/when.
9.moved 考查形容词.句意:男士是如此的感动以至于不得不抑制住泪水.moved的意思是:"感动的".故该处填moved.
10.them 考查代词.指代the mats小茶几垫,其是复数形式,所以应用代词them.故该处填them.

Did you grow up in one culture,your parents came from another,and you are now living in a totally different country?If so,then you are a third-cu lture kid!
The term"third-culture kid"(or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr.Ruth.She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India.Caught between two cultures,they form their very own.(36)BAbout 90 percent of them have a university degree,while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree.They usually benefit from their intercultural experience,which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.
(37)AIn fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon.A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected.Instead,they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures.Max,for example,experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid.(38)GWhile this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world,it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.
For a third-culture kid,it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their"home"country.After living in Australia and South Korea for many years,Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager.But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born.
(39)FShe did not share the same values as her friends'even years after going back home.
While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns,the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before.The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of"home".(40)C As a part of the growing"culture",TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.
A.Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy. B.In general,they often reach excellent academic results. C.This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity. D.However,their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle. E.Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences. F.Unlike other teens of her age,she didn't know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends. G.Additionally,making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid. |
