题目内容
20.I was born in a town called Blackburn,in the north-west of England,and lived there till I left home (61)at the age of eighteen.My parents had moved to England from India during (62)the 1970s.As a child,I went to my local school and,of course (63)spoke(speak) English (64)with a local accent.But home was very different:we lived a kind of"little India",with a huge extended family of uncles and aunts.I remember (65)feeling(feel) part of this big thing called"family",and an even (66)bigger(big) thing called"India".I suppose my family (67)really(real) influenced me while I(68)was growing(grow) up.They used to talk about India as"home"-even if at that time I had never been there!
To me,it doesn't seem at all strange to grow up as part of two cultures.I am always thinking that growing up with two cultures is a gift,not a (69)disadvantage(advantage).Now as a mother,I want my child to get in touch with her Indian roots too,so we are planning to visit there later this year.All her Indian (70)cousins(cousin) are looking forward to meeting her!
分析 本文是一篇记叙文."我"出生在英国西北部的一个小镇,在十八岁时离开那里去求学;"我"的父母早在20世纪70年代从印度迁到英国."我"认为伴随着两个不同文化成长是礼物而不是缺点.
解答 61.at 62.the 63.spoke 64.with 65.feeling 66.bigger 67.really 68.was growing 69. disadvantage 70.cousins
61.at 本题考查固定搭配."在某人…岁时"用 at the age of …,故正确答案为 at.
62.the 本题考查冠词.年代的前面需要加定冠词 the 表示特指,此处特指在二十世纪七十年代.故正确答案为 the.
63.spoke 本题考查动词时态.and 连接两个并列成分,此处连接两个谓语动词,and 前面用的 went,为一般过去时,并且此处讲的是"我"小时候的事情,所以要用一般过去时.故正确答案为 spoke.
64.with 考查介词 根据句意,带有当地口音,应该使用介词with
65.feeling 本题考查固定搭配.remember doing sth 意为"记得做过…(做过了)",remember to do sth 意为"记得要做…(还没有做)".此处意为"我记得感受到了这个叫做‘家庭'的大事的一部分".故正确答案为 feeling.
66.bigger 本题考查形容词的比较级.even 可用来修饰比较级,而且 India 显然要比 family 更大,所以此处应为比较级,表示递进.故正确答案为 bigger.
67.really 本题考查副词.形容词不能修饰动词,所以此处需要用 real 的副词 really 来修饰谓语动词 influenced.故正确答案为 really.
68.was growing 考查时态 根据句意:当我成长的时候,通篇说的是过去的事情,此处强调一直处于某种状态,故答案为was growing
69.disadvantage 本题考查语义辨析.结合上文 growing up with two cultures is a gift 可知,作者认为生长在两种文化之间是件好事,所以此处应该是"而不是缺点".故正确答案为 disadvantage.
70.cousins 本题考查名词.cousin 为可数名词,而且横线处之前有"all",之后有are,所以要用 cousin 的复数.故正确答案为 cousins.
