Answer 1

【答案】

【1】it

【2】to please

【3】a

【4】pushed

【5】where

【6】choice

【7】on

【8】him

【9】at

【10】was informed

【解析】

【1】it 考查形式主语。在英语中只有it可以充当形式主语。本句中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.句意：她还记得给父亲买一个合适的生日礼物是多么的困难。

【2】to please 考查不定式用法。当前面的形容词是表示主语性格特征的形容词的时候，后面需要使用不定式的主动形式表示被动含义。句意：她多么希望父亲和母亲一样容易取悦，妈妈总是对松的香水很高兴。

【3】a 考查冠词。当名词experience表示“经历”的时候，这是一个可数名词，当experience表示“经验”的时候，这是一个不可数名词。句意：而且，在一年中这个时候去购物也不是一个令人愉快的经历。本句中名词experience表示“经历”，前面使用不定冠词a进行修饰，表示泛指。

【4】pushed 考查时态。本句中连用了并列连词or，说明前后都要使用同样的时态，所以使用pushed和stepped是并列的谓语动词。句意：人们踩到你的脚或者用他们的肘部推着你，挤到前面去买到便宜货。

【5】where 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是a counter，后面句子结构很完整，所以使用关系副词where引导。句意：Jane在一个展览很多吸引力的柜台面前停了下来。

【6】choice 考查名词。形容词性物主代词后面通常要接名词，本句中her的后面要接名词choice在句中做主语。句意：Jane从过去的经历知道选择领带很难让她的父亲高兴。

【7】on 考查固定搭配。短语on sale降价出售；句意：她发现一些质量很好的烟斗正在降价出售。

【8】him 考查代词。根据文章第二句She remembered how difficult ______ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.可知她正在为父亲购买圣诞礼物，使用本句中使用him充当动词please的宾语。句意：她知道这是一个一定能让父亲高兴的礼物。

【9】at 考查介词短语。短语at table在吃饭，at the table在桌边（不一定吃饭）。句意：她的父母亲已经坐在桌边吃晚饭了。

【10】was informed 考查时态语态。句意：Jane被通知“你爸爸决定戒烟了。”根据句意可知使用被动语态，且本文叙述的是过去发生的事情。
