题目内容
9.It is a general rule that all types of activity result in boredom when they are performed on (61)a routine basis.Actually,we can see this principle at work in people of all (62)ages(age).For example,on Christmas morning,children are excited (63)about playing with their new toys.But their interest soon dies down and by January (64)it is those same toys that can (65)be found(find) put away in the basement.The world is full of half-filled stamp albums and unfinished models,each (66)standing(stand) as a monument to someone's passing interest.Adolescents enter high school with great (67)excitement(excite) but are soon looking forward to graduation.And then,how many adults,(68)who now complain about the long drives to work,eagerly drove for hours at a time when they first got their driver's license?Before people retire,they usually plan to do a lot of great things,which they never had time to do while working.But soon after retirement,all of the hobbies become as boring as the jobs they (69)left/have left(leave).And,like the children in January,they go searching for new toys.Therefore,it is high time that you (70)added/should add(add) variety to your daily life.分析 本文为议论文.通常情况下,当所有的活动以常规的方式进行的时候就会变得无聊,最初的期待和信心也许会在很短的时间里消退.这个规律对于各个年龄阶段的人都是一样的.文章通过几个事例正名了这一观点.
解答 61.a 62.ages 63.about 64.it 65.be found 66.standing 67.excitement 68.who 69.left/have left 70.added/should add
详解:
61.答案:a.考查冠词.on a routine basis,类似的表达还有on a regular basis,on a daily basis等.
62.答案:ages.考查名词单复数.前面有代词all修饰,应使用age的复数ages.
63.答案:about.考查介词.be excited about对某事感到激动.
64.答案:it.考查代词.It is…that…是强调句型.
65.答案:be found.考查动词的被动语态.这里是指还是那些玩具,但是到了一月就被发现都收到地下室去了.跟在情态动词can后面,使用be found.
66.答案:standing.考查非谓语动词.这是一个独立主格结构,前面句子已经有了动词is,且each前无连词,故使用非谓语动词;此处stand与each是主动的关系,使用现在分词standing.
67.答案:excitement.考查词性转换.本处应该是介词with的宾语,故使用名词excitement.
68.答案:who.考查定语从句关系代词.空前有逗号,是非限制性定语从句,且先行词adults是人,故使用who,不能使用that.
69.答案:left/have left.left考查动词时态.句意:只要一退休,所有那些爱好就跟他们刚刚离开的工作一样无聊了.使用一般过去时态或现在完成时态.
70.答案:added/should add.考查动词虚拟语气.It is high time that sb did sth.到了某人该做某事的时间了.此结构比It is high time that sb should do sth.更为常用.
点评 作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.
