Question

【题目】语法填空

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在标号为1-10的相应位置上。

A young American woman worked in a school in Shanghai． _________ she came to China，she knew little about the Chinese culture of language． One day on her way to school，she went to a bank _________ (draw) some money．To _________ surprise，the bank clerk(职员) asked her if she had had her lunch．She was surprised at such _________ question because in the American culture it would mean that the bank clerk is inviting her to lunch．Between unmarried young people it can also mean the young man’s interest in dating the girl．Since this bank clerk _________ a stranger to the American woman，she was very puzzled(困惑的)，and quickly answered that she _________ (eat) already．After this she went on to school and was even _________ surprised when one of the teachers asked her the same question．

By now she understood that it could not be an _________ (invite) but was puzzled as to why they asked it．In the following days she was asked the same question again and again and she spent many hours _________ (try) to work out why so many people kept asking her this．At last she thought that these people must be _________ (concern) about her health．She was rather thin at the time，and she thought they must be worrying that she was not eating well!

In fact the question like that has no real meaning at all — it is only a greeting．

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Before

【2】to draw

【3】her

【4】a

【5】was

【6】had eaten

【7】more

【8】invitation

【9】(in )trying

【10】concerned

【解析】

试题分析：本文通过一个小故事告诉大家语言存在文化差异。

【1】Before 句意：她来中国以前几乎不知道中国的语言文化。此处是Before引导的时间状语从句，注意大写开头。

【2】to draw 此处是动词不定式做目的状语，故填to draw。

【3】her “to one’s surprise”意思是“使某人惊讶的是”， her surprise,故该空填her.

【4】a 句意：她对这样一个问题感到惊讶。such a question这样一个问题。故填不定冠词a.

【5】was 句意：因为这个银行职员对这位美国女士来说是一个陌生人，她感到非常困惑。可知此处用一般过去时态，故填was。

【6】had eaten 句意：她很快回答说她已经吃了。表示过去的过去，因此用过去完成时态，故该空填had eaten 。

【7】more even放在比较级前面修饰比较级加强语气，more surprised。故该空填more.

【8】invitation 不定冠词放在名词前面，可知此处用名词形式，故填invitation。

【9】(in )trying 固定句式：spend time/money (in) doing sth，故该空应填(in )trying.

【10】concerned 固定词组be concerned about对---关心、挂念，故该空填concerned.

【知识拓展】

1.不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如小题1，university 这个词以辅音开头，所以前面加a，表示一所大学。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。

固定短语

2.be worried about 为---担忧；be concerned about对---牵挂；be anxious about 对---焦虑；be curious about 对---好奇；be upset about对---烦恼。

3.下面的词或词组可以放在比较级前面修饰比较级加强语气：much/even/a lot/a little/any/still/far/slightly/a great deal.比如 I felt much happier.我感觉幸福多了.
