But one day, the woman talked to her son, “The merchant will leave sooner or later. After he leaves, we’ll live 【7】 (poor) again. Since he lives alone and isn’t always at home, we can go and get all his money.” But the son 【8】 (immediate) refused to do so, saying, “Oh, no, Mom! We should never do that. He helps us a lot! We should be grateful to him instead of 【9】 (rob) him.” Having heard her son’s words, the woman gave up her terrible idea.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】but

【2】to spend

【3】decision

【4】them

【5】were helped

【6】better

【7】poorly

【8】immediately

【9】robbing

【10】a

【解析】

【1】but 考查连词。根据空格前后内容可知，前面的努力工作和后面的不能舒服生活构成着祝转折关系，并且在两句子中间，故填but。

【2】to spend考查固定结构。need作动词时，是不及物动词，need to do是固定结构，故填to spend。

【3】decision考查短语。make a decision to do意为“下定决心去做某事”，是固定用法，故填decision。

【4】them考查宾语。gave是动词，动词后面接宾语，构成动宾结构。根据前面可知，他要帮助穷妈妈和她的儿子，这里应用them指代poor mother and her son， 故填them。

【5】were helped 考查被动语态。them指代穷妈妈和她的儿子，她们是被帮助，构成被动语态，这里用“be动词+动词过去分词”表被动，被帮助这件事发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填were helped。

【6】better 考查比较级。根据后面 than 可知，这里构成比较，应用比较级，故填better。

【7】poorly 考查副词。poorly用于形容动词live，起到强调突出作用，故填poorly。

【8】immediately考查副词。immediately用于形容动词refused，起到强调作用，表示立马拒绝，故填immediately。

【9】robbing考查短语。instand of doing是固定结构，故填robbing。

【10】a考查冠词的使用。merchant是可数名词单数形式，前面应用，冠词a修饰，故填a。
