分析 本文论述了钱对于我们生活来说是非常重要的东西,从正反两方面阐述钱的重要性.
解答 61.comfortably 考查词性转换.此处需要一个副词来修饰动词"live",故"comfortable"副词形式为"comfortably".
62.given 考查非谓语.此处"service"和后面"given"表示被动关系,故用过去分词修饰service表示你被提供的服务.
63.survival 考查名词.根据句意"钱对我们的生存是必要的",可知our后需加一个名词,故survive动词形式为survival,意为"生存".
64.activities 考查名词复数.句子前"Most of our"以及谓语"are"提示此处需用复数.
65.to meet 考查动词不定式.根据上下文,不定式在这做目的状语,表示"为了满足…的需求".
66.which 考查连接词.分析句式"We use it for education"为主句,其后为一个定语从句,缺少主语,故用‘which'代指"education".
67.for 考查介词."for"此处表示"因为".
68.they 考查代词.前文提到"Thousands of people are dying every day"每天成千的人死于饥饿,后句阐述原因,故‘they'代指前面的"成千死于饥饿的人".
69.more 考查比较级.根据句意推出为越来越多的人口提供越来越多的粮食.
70.becoming 考查现在分词."gradually"表示"渐渐地",说明由于前文提到的努力,世界正慢慢地变得更美好.
点评 语法填空题主要考查学生在具体语境中使用所学语法知识的能力.要求考生需有大量的语法知识,然后结合具体语境灵活使用.一定要主语联系上下文,切不可断章取义.
