Answer 1

【答案】

【1】a

【2】meaning

【3】whom

【4】for

【5】hardest

【6】it

【7】so

【8】 where

【9】decided

【10】saying

【解析】

【1】a 考查冠词。gift作 “礼物”讲时是可数名词，此处表示泛指，故用不定冠词。

【2】meaning考查词形转换。此处指“我”认为那是圣诞节的真正含义，meaning表示“含义，意义”。

【3】whom 考查定语从句。由whom引导的定语从句，whom代替前面的名词friend,在介词with后 面做宾语。

【4】for 考查固定表达。turn to sb. for help表示 “向......求助”

【5】hardest 考查形容词最高级。这确实是她人生中最困难的时刻。

【6】it 考查代词。用it代替前面提到的 “help her”这件事。

【7】so 考查连词。后面的句子表示目的，故用so,表示“为了，以便”。

【8】 where 考查定语从句。关系副词where引导定语从句，并在从句中作地点状语，该从句修饰先行词district.

【9】decided 考查时态。结合文章时态及本句中的时间状语，应用一般过去时。

【10】saying 考查非谓语动词。空前后没有连接词，且her friend与say之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作状语。

考点 ：语法填空。
