分析 文章主要介绍了我在纽约生活所遇到的情况.
大学毕业后,我一直无法在我居住的小城找到一份固定的工作,所以我去了纽约,觉得那里有更好的机会找到一份好工作.但实际情况却是,为了支付日常开支,我最初只能在当地的一家咖啡馆当服务员.不过我决定:只要有好的职位,我会立即辞职.
一段时间后,纽约生活的高成本让本已因工作疲惫不堪的我更加精疲力竭.另一方面,我想要的体面工作一直没有什么进展.由于我在大学学的是文学,这让我很难在大公司找到一份合适的工作.母亲说过,如果我想有一个好的职业发展,就必须在城里找到一份工作.她的话一直深植在我脑海.
很快,我在这个城市已经待了六个多月,但我仍然喜欢不上这座城市,而且我也无法让自己适应纽约这座城市的生活,更不用说找到一份令自己感到快乐的工作.九个月后,我最终决定回到我来的小城,而直到我回来,我才意识到原来安静的小城生活才是最适合我的.
解答 25.答案为where"So I decided to leave home for New York,(25)---I might have a better chance to find a good job."空格前有逗号,逗号前后都是完整句子,这说明其中一个应该是从句,结合该句句意,后一句应该是修饰前一句中New York的定语从句,由于New York是地点,所以空格上所填关系词是where.
26.答案为To earn 空格所在部分表示"为了支付日常开支"是一个目的状语,而不定时可以表示目的,所以空格上填 To earn
27.答案为as soon as/as long as 空格所在句子表达意思为"只要有好的职位,我会立即辞职"故空格上填"as soon as/as long as"用以引导条件状语从句.
28.答案为exhausted 空格所填应该修饰后面shoulders,这里要表明作者"感到疲倦的"所以应天过去分词形式 exhausted
29.答案为if. 母亲所说话要表达意思"如果我想有一个好的职业发展,就必须在城里找到一份工作"所以横线上填if
30.答案为what 该空格考查主语从句,表达"母亲说的话"故关系词应用what.
31.答案为adapting 考查固定搭配 have difficulty doing sth.所以adapt应该用adapting
32.答案为did 该空考查倒装句,因为Not until 表否定且位于句首所在所在句子应使用部分倒装,所以空格处天助动词did.
