题目内容
8.My name is Tabitha,a 36-year-old mother living with my three(66)kids(kid) in West Tennessee.I(67)lost(lose) my job a couple of weeks ago and I am still searching for work now.The town(68)whereI live is quite small and finding a job here has proven to be a major task.Since leaving my last job,I have found that it's(69)more difficult(difficult) to make myself employed again than I expected.I have become a full-time homemaker,(70)taking(take) care of my motherly duties as well as housework.Apart from caring for my children and taking care of the house,I am still busy looking for part-time and full-time(71)employment(employ) to help my family financially.I(72)frequently(frequent) visit our local career center and search online if I have very little free time.
To be frank,I admit that being unemployed is stressful.I usually find myself lying awake at night and wondering (73)howI'm going to support my family if I cannot find(74)ajob.In my inner heart,I never think about giving up.Having devoted much effort to my job-hunting,I believe it will pay off one day.Therefore,I will continue to search until I find one that allows me(75)to provide(provide) an income for my family.
分析 短文主要讲了作者失业后的处境,感觉压力很大,最终下定决心要找到适合自己的工作.
解答 66.kids,考查名词,前有数词three,可知应使用kid的复数形式kids.
67.lost,考查时态,由时间状语 a couple of weeks ago可知应使用一般过去时,因此答案为lost.
68.where,考查定语从句,先行词the town在定语从句中充当地点状语,因此使用where引导.
69.more difficult,考查形容词比较级,由than"比"可知应使用形容词的比较级more difficult.
70.taking,考查非谓语,take与其逻辑主语I构成主动的关系,因此使用现在分词形式.
71.employment,考查名词,此处位于形容词full-time后,应使用employ的名词形式employment.
72.frequently,考查副词,此处应使用副词形式修饰谓语动词visit.
73.how,考查宾语从句引导词,根据语境是"如何支撑我的家庭",因此使用how引导.
74.a,考查冠词,job是可数名词,表示泛指,应使用不定冠词a.
75.to provide,考查固定搭配,allow sb.to do sth."允许某人做某事",因此使用动词不定式.
点评 对于语法填空这类题,一是懂得分析句子结构,二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性,从语法上确定答案,当然,对于某些固定搭配也要牢记,在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语,对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定.
