"I soon(66)learned/learnt(learn) how everything works in America,"the grandfather told my friend later,"Life's a cafeteria here.You can get anything you want as long as you are(67)willing(will) to pay the price.You can even get success,(68)but you'll neverget it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.You have to get up and get it yourself."
You can't change the inevitable(不可避免的事).The only thing you can do(69)is to control your attitude.Once you reach that point in life,happiness and(70)satisfaction (satisfy) can't be too far away.
分析 本文讲述了一位朋友的祖父从泰国的一个农场来到美国,在一家自助餐厅吃饭的故事.他在一张空桌子边坐下,等待侍者拿来菜单,结果没有人来招呼他.在一位的帮助下,他明白了自助餐厅是如何运作的.
解答 61.settling 考查动名词.因为after是介词,所以后面用动名词作宾语,故填settling. 62.at 考查介词.at意为"在…边"表示位置,at an empty table 意为"坐在一张空桌子边",故填at. 63.Finally 考查副词.根据句子结构可知,此处应用副词修饰后面的句子,故填finally. 64.how 考查疑问副词.根据下面那位女士所讲的内容可知,是告诉他自助餐厅是如何运作的,故填how. 65.the 考查定冠词.at the other end意为"在另一端"与前面的at that end相呼应,故填the.
66.learned/learnt 考查时态.根据句意:我很快就学会了在美国一切都是如何运作的,可知learn这个动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时,故填learned/learnt. 67.willing 考查形容词.根据空前的are可知,此处应用will的形容词形式,构成短语be willing to do愿意做某事,故填willing. 68.but 考查连词.根据句意"你甚至可以获得成功"和"如果你等待别人带给你,你将永远不会得到它",可知前后两句为转折关系,故填but. 69.is 考查谓语动词.分析句子成分可知,you can do是定语从句修饰thing,the only thing是句子的主语且为第三人称单数,此处是谓语部分表客观事实,所以是一般现在时,故填is. 70.satisfaction考查名词.因为and连接并列的形式,根据happiness是名词可知此处应用satisfy的名词形式,故填satisfaction.
点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析,逐题解答.
