题目内容
【题目】I needed to get some money so I 【1】(take) a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it,【2】 it was an experience I’ll never forget.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already 【3】 queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. The moment the security guards 【4】 (lock) the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd rushed in. I couldn’t believe my eyes: this wasn’t shopping; it was a battlefield!
After a while, clothes were flying 【5】 all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Within minutes I had half a dozen people 【6】 (push) clothes under my nose, each wanting 【7】 (be) the first served. The whole day continued like that. People were spending money like water thinking 【8】 they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
That night, after a quick dinner I went to bed 【9】 (exhaust), fearing the sound of the alarm【10】 would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
【答案】
【1】took
【2】but
【3】a
【4】unlocked
【5】in
【6】pushing
【7】to be
【8】whether / if
【9】exhausted
【10】that / which
【解析】这是人物传记的故事类阅读。作者在这篇短文中描写了人们疯狂购物的场面。
【1】took
考查谓语动词。句意:我需要一些钱,于是我在Graham百货公司的服装部找了一份工作。由第一句“I needed …”可知是叙述过去的事,故要用一般过去时,所以用took。
【2】but
考查转折连词。句意:空前:我不能说我喜欢它,空后:这是我永远不会忘记的经历。根据空前后的内容分析,虽不能说喜欢但却不能忘记,前后转折故用but。
【3】a
考查冠词。句意:当我在销售的第一天开门前半小时到达时,大楼的三面已经有一个队人在排队了。queue n. (人或车辆)行列,长队,可数名词单数,且有数量“一”,故用a。
【4】unlocked
考查谓语动词。句意:警卫一打开门,就躲在门后躲起来,因为喧闹的人群冲了进来。根据第3小题可知是第一天开门。有提示“before opening”因此是开门。lock是锁门,故要用unlock=open,所以用unloched.
【5】in
考查介词的固定搭配。句意:过了一会儿,人们到处寻找衣服的大小、颜色和款式,衣服四处飞舞。in all directions,四面八方,各方面,四处。因此要用in。
【6】pushing
考查非谓语作定语。句意:不到几分钟,有六个人把衣服塞到我的鼻子底下。本句half a dozen people与动词 push是主动关系,故要用pushing。
【7】to be
考查固定搭配。句意:每一个想成为第一个被服务的人。want to do,想要做某事,因此想成为第一个被服务的人,是each wanting to be the first served,故填to be。
【8】whether / if
考查连词。句意:思考他们是否需要他们所买的东西。分析句意可知有“是否”之意,故要用whether/if。
【9】exhausted
考查过去分词状语修饰人。句意:那天晚上,匆匆吃过晚饭,我筋疲力尽地上床睡觉。Exhaust是修饰我的,修饰人的,要用-ed形式,故填exhausted
【10】that / which
考查定语从句。句意:害怕听到铃声,告诉我为第二天的销售做好准备。分析本句可知the sound of the alarm 是先行词,在从句中作主语,指物作主语既可用that 也可用which。
