分析 本文为科教类夹叙夹议的议论文;文中说明的观点是孩子总是喜欢给他们的作为小礼物的钱;父母会定期给零花钱,而其他亲属也总是会给一小笔钱作为小礼物;只有少数节俭的孩子能够往储蓄罐存钱.下文举例说明孩子们不喜欢往储蓄罐存钱:我给了侄子George50便士并希望他存起来,但是他把钱拿去卖糖果了;结果钱掉进了下水道;他把手臂伸进下水道寻找;但是钱没有找到手臂卡住了;最终在消防员的帮助下他才把手臂拿出来;
解答 61.a.本题考查不定冠词,句中运用了短语a supply of 表示"供应",a regular supply of定期供应;故答案是a.
62.to fill.本题考查了短语manage to do sth.表示"设法成功地做…";本题表示"只有少数节俭的孩子能够往储蓄罐存钱"
,故答案是to fill.
63.coins.本题考查名词复数,上文的few往往修饰复数名词,故答案是coins.
64.their.本题考查的是人称代词,名词way前需要的是they相应形容词性物主代词their,find one's way to 表示"设法到达".
65.bought.本题考查过去时;主语he后需要的是谓语动词,文章描述了过去的一件事,故用过去式bought.
66.through.本题考查介词;由下文 George的胳膊卡住了,推断他把手臂"穿过"下水道的盖子,故答案是through(穿过).
67.anywhere.本题考查不定代词,根据语境判断George"什么地方"都没有找到他的钱,故答案是anywhere.
68.firmly.本题考查词性转换;句中需要的是修饰动词stuck的副词,故答案是firmly.
69.using.考查分词做方式状语;and连接的并列分句中已经有了谓语动词freed,所以这里的use用非谓语;分析句子结构和含义判断,这里use a special type of grease 是方式,use与主语two fire fighters 之间是主动关系,故用现在分词using做方式状语.
70.because.本题考查逻辑关系;主句说明的是George虽然丢了钱,又遇见了麻烦但是并不伤心;下文说明原因,"因为"糖果店的女老板给了他一盒巧克力.所以答案是because.
点评 语法填空用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.
