题目内容
19."Time,"says the proverb,"is money".This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets.If our time (25)is employed (employ) usefully,it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market,or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes.Let those,(26)who think nothing of wasting time,remember this.
Our life is nothing more than our time.To kill time is therefore a form of suicide.We are shocked (27)when we think of death,and we spare no pains,no trouble,and no expense to preserve life.
But we often care nothing about the loss of an hour or of a day,(28)forgetting (forget) that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live.Our life is a brief period measuring some seventy or eighty years in all.So a day or an hour(29)wasted (waste) is therefore so much life lost.
But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in watching over the sick-beds of our (30)nearest (near) relatives; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea.
Now if all these years were to be decreased from the term over which our life extends,we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal (处置) for active work.(31)Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.
The precious hours of childhood and youth,if properly used,(32)will supply (supply) us with incalculable advantages.If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away,we shall never be able to make up for the loss.
分析 本文作者通过讲述时间的重要性,旨在告诉读者一定要珍惜时间,尤其是童年和青年时期的宝贵时光,如果使用得当,必将带来不可估量的好处;文中作者讲到:时间就是金钱;浪费时间就等于自杀;由于人的一生是由分分秒秒组成的,每天浪费一个小时,那么人在短短的七、八十年中将会损失大量的时间;由于仅吃饭,睡觉,照顾生病卧床的近亲属以及在海上或陆地上的旅行就占去了近三分之一的时间,如果从我们的寿命中扣除所有的这些岁月,我们将会发现,能受我们支配的有效的工作时间大约仅二三十年而已;记住了这一点,无论谁都不会心甘情愿地浪费他生命中的任何瞬间.
解答 答案:
25.is employed 考查被动语态 根据句意(如果我们的时间得到了有效地利用,…)可知,动词employ与其主语our time 构成的是动宾关系,因此这里应使用被动语态;根据在if从句中的主句使用了一般将来时可知,从句应使用一般现在时;故用一般现在时态的被动语态is employed.
26.who 考查关系代词 根据句意(就让那些认为浪费时间没什么的人,记住这一点.)以及空缺处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;这里的先行词 those指人,在该从句中作主语;故填关系代词who.
27.when 考查连词 此处用来引导时间状语从句,本句的意思是:当我们想到死的时候,我们便会惊恐不已,然后不遗余力,不怕麻烦和花费钱财来保全我们的生命;故填when.
28.forgetting 考查现在分词 分析句意(但是我们常常会不在乎一天中损失掉的那一个小时,忘记了我们的生活就是每一天以及生活中的每个小时的总和.)可知,动词forget与其逻辑主语we构成的是主谓关系,并且在句中作伴随状语;故填现在分词forgetting.
29.wasted 考查过去分词 此处在句中作后置定语,修饰前面的名词短语 a day or an hour;意为:浪费掉的每一天或每个小时;由于动词waste与该名词短语构成的是动宾关系,故填过去分词 wasted.
30.nearest 考查固定短语 固定短语our nearest relatives意为"我们的近亲属";故填nearest.
31.Whoever 考查复合关系代词 本句的意思是:记住了这一点,无论谁都不会心甘情愿地浪费他生命中的一瞬间;故填Whoever.
32.will supply 考查时态 分析句意可知,本句应是一个由if引导的时间状语从句,完整的句子应是:If we properly used the precious hours of childhood and youth,we will supply us with incalculable advantages;由于该空缺处在句中作主句的谓语;故填will supply.
