Answer 1

【答案】

【1】for

【2】properly

【3】impression

【4】and

【5】to throw

【6】like

【小题7】Besides

【8】burnt/burned

【9】which

【10】Whatever

【解析】

试题分析：要去上大学了，作者的母亲交给她怎么熨衣服，这让作者在今后的生活中受益匪浅。

【1】for考查上下文以及搭配。reasons for sth.是固定表达，意思是做某事的原因。故填for。

【2】properly考查词形变化。本空需要副词修饰动作“熨衣服”。故填properly。

【3】impression 考查词形变化。根据前面的a和形容词可知本空需要填名词；另外make a good impression是固定表达，意思是留下好印象。故填impression。

【4】and考查固定句式。祈使句+and/or+一般将来时的句子，前面的表原因，后面的表结果。两句之间是递进关系。故填and。

【5】to throw考查非谓语动词。use sth. to do sth.使用某物做某事，句意：熨衣服并不使用我们用来扔棒球的肌肉。故填to throw。

【6】like考查介词。根据句意，熨衣服就像在一条每隔10英寸就有停车标志的街上开车。be like像。故填like。

【小题7】Besides 考查承上启下的副词。本段作者在介绍为什么熨衣服不容易，前后是并列的关系，所以填Besides(另外，还有)。

【8】burnt/burned考查非谓语动词。get+动词的过去分词结构既可以表状态，也可以表被动。句意：如果你碰到了不该碰的地方，你会被烫伤的。故填burnt/burned。

【9】which考查连词。本句含有一个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的整个句子，在从句中做主语。句意：这么多年我学会了很有技巧的熨衣服，这件事让我很自豪。故填which。

【10】Whatever考查连词。在我的生活中无论我遭遇了什么失败，熨好的衣服告诉我我还是有擅长的事情的。故填Whatever。
