题目内容
1.The Italian dinners we had every Sunday when I was a boy were feasts fit for a king.There were loaves of Italian bread ready to be eaten.(16)Theywere great with butter and even(17)better(good) when you dipped them in the sauce(调味汁).My grandma,(18)whom/who we called"Nanny",would always bake them a day ahead so they would be ready.I remember watching her hand make the dough(面团).I would often ask to help but only because I wanted to have (19)a bite of the dough before she placed it in the pans to bake.One day I (20)foolishly (fool) asked Nanny why she didn't just buy bread at the store(21)to save(save) time."Because they're not as good,"she said(22)withher thick Italian accent.Then she laughed,smiled,and gave me a piece of dough to eat.
Nanny was right.Today I buy my bread at the store and it isn't as good.It is factory-made and (23)lacks (lack) all the taste,warmth,and love that Nanny put into hers.Store-bought happiness is a sad substitute for homemade joy.(24)If you want lasting love,permanent peace,and endless joy,then you have to bake them (25)on your own.
分析 作者在这篇短文中回忆了小时候每个星期天奶奶都会花费大量时间给他准备一顿丰盛的意大利烤面包,蘸着黄油和调味汁吃起来非常可口.有一天作者问奶奶为什么
不在店里买现成的,那样可以节省时间,奶奶说那样的不好吃.事实证明奶奶是正确的,外面买来的缺乏所有的味道,温度以及奶奶烤面包时融在里面的爱意.
解答 16.They;考查人称代词,分析句子,空格处应指代前面的 loaves of Italian bread,所以用人称代词they.
17.better;考查形容词的比较级
18.whom/who;考查关系代词,此处是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是My grandma,指人,所以用关系代词whom/who,在从句中作called的宾语.
19.a;考查冠词,have a bite of 意为"咬一口",此处bite为可数名词,用冠词a表示数量.
20.foolishly;考查副词,此处需要修饰的是后面的动词asked,所以要用副词形式 foolishly.
21.to save;考查动词的不定式,此处用不定式表示目的.
22.with,考查介词,这里介词短语with her thick Italian accent作状语,句意为"她带着浓重的意大利口音说…".
23.lacks;考查动词的时态,这里and连接两个并列成分,前面用了动词的第三人称单数is,后面也要用第三人称单数形式,故用lacks.
24.If;考查连词,分析句意应为"如果你想要拥有永久的爱与和平以及无尽的欢乐,那么就亲自动手自己考面包吧",所以这里应当用if引导一个条件状语从句.
25.on;考查固定短语,on one's own 是固定搭配,意为"独自地,亲自".
