When I was younger, I remembered my parents taking 【2】(turn) to look after Frances until she fell asleep,【3】 was usually around 5 am. As my parents got more hopeless, I felt I 【4】(have) to take a turn and give them a break. But every morning 【5】 fail, after endless nights of no sleep, my 【6】 (tire) dad would still be ready at 5 am to take me to swimming practice. It is a miracle 【7】 under such stress and pressure, my mum and dad have always remained calm and loving with Frances, with me, and most incredibly with each other.

【答案】
【1】providing
【2】turns
【3】which
【4】had
【5】without
【6】tired
【7】that
【8】absolutely
【9】torn
【10】is spent
【解析】
试题分析:本文讲述全职照顾有学习障碍的孩子会给整个家庭带来压力,MENCAP呼吁政府给这样的家庭帮助。
【1】providing 介词后面用动名词作宾语,故填providing。
【2】turns 固定搭配:take turns to do sth.轮流做某事。故填turns。
【3】which 前面一句作先行词,指代前面整个句子并引导非限制性定语从句,故填which。不能用as,as引导定语从句表示“正如”。
【4】had 句意:我感到我必须值一次班,让他们休息一下。have to do sth.不得不做某事,事情发生在过去,故用一般过去时态,故填had。
【5】without 根据下一句my 【6】 (tire) dad would still be ready at 5 am to take me to swimming practice.可知,父亲每天早上送作者去练习游泳,没有一次失败,故填without,表示“没有”。
【6】tired 句意:连续的晚上没有睡之后,我的筋疲力尽的父亲总是准备在5点钟带我去游泳练习。Tired形容人“疲倦的,劳累的”,故填tired。
【7】that it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的主语从句,故填that。
【8】absolutely 副词修饰形容词,故填absolutely。
【9】torn see +sb.+过去分词,看见某人被……。故填torn。
【10】is spent money和spend之间是被动关系,money作主语,后面的谓语动词用单数形式,故填is spent。
