14.Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.(32)Expecting(Expect) a whole day to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months."This will be (33)like a walk in the park,"he'd told his wife."I'll look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom."Things started well,but just after eight o'clock,his three little"good kids"-Mike,Randy,and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted"breakfast,daddy."When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head (34)as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat.Mike chanted"Where's my toast,where's my toast"in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head.Randy locked (35)himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants.Nobody could find clean socks,(36)though/although they were before their very eyes.Someone (37)named(name)"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o'clock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared (38)to be drawing(draw) a picture quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realized that the talk show was over and (39)reading(read) would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre."I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away.(40)May/Can/Could/Shall I bring the boys over in a few minutes?"The answer was obviously"yes"because Brad was smiling.
分析 本文是教育文化类的记叙文.文章介绍了妻子去看望她的父母,Brad在家里带孩子.Brad原先以为带孩子很容易,他会度过轻松愉快的一天,并且计划好了读报纸、看电视现场访谈节目.开始的情况不错,但是随着时间的推移情况越来越糟糕,到最后无法控制;最终Brad不得不打电话求救日托中心.
解答 32.Expecting.本题考查非谓语动词做状语.分析句子结构发现,逗号后面是完整的句子,句中没有连词,由此判断逗号前面不能是句子,所以expect只能的非谓语动词作状语;句子主语he与expect之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语,故答案是Expecting.
33.like.本题考查介词搭配. 由上下文判断,Brad最初认为带孩子就"像"在公园散步,故选用介词like"像".
34.as if.本题考查连词.as if好像,引导方式状语从句.本句说明Randy用汤勺在Alex的头上敲,就"好像"在敲鼓.故答案是as if.
35.himself.本题考查反身代词.本句指Randy把"他自己"关在盥洗间.
36.though/although.本题考查连词though/although引导的让步状语从句."虽然"干净袜子就在眼前,但是没有人找到.
37.named.本题考查过去分词做后置定语.someone named…表示"某个名叫…的人";本句中someone spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes表示"有人把一整杯橘子汁泼在了干净的衣服蓝里";做了错事大家都不想承认,都说"Not Me";因此用someone named"Not Me"表示某个自称不是我的人.
38.to be drawing.本题考查动词不定式的用法.动词appear后往往接动词不定式,构成appear to do;本句表示在其他人搞得一团糟的时候Randy"似乎在画画",故用不定式的进行式,答案是to be drawing.
39.reading. 本题考查动名词做主语,and连接的并列分句中缺少主语,故用动名词做主语.
40.May/Can/Could/Shall.本题考查情态动词的用法.根据上下文判断,情况已经无法控制,所以Brad在"请求"帮助,故用"May/Can/Could/Shall I"表示"请求许可或征求意见".
点评 语法填空要在整体理解文章的大意和逻辑的基础上关注句子的结构,关注其中的固定搭配.
