Answer 1

【答案】

【1】settling

【2】to eat

【3】Finally

【4】how

【5】the

【6】learned

【7】but

【8】yourself

【9】is

【10】satisfaction

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位男士来到美国吃自助餐的故事， 他从中明白：只有靠自己才可以取得成功。

【1】After 是介词，后面动词用动名词形式，句子主语和settle 之间是主动关系，所以填settling 。

【2】get something to do中to do 作定语修饰前面的不定代词，主动表示被动，故填to eat。

【3】修饰整个句子用副词，final 是形容词，所以用它的副词形式，因为是句首，故填Finally。

【4】句意：一位妇女告知他自助餐厅的吃饭是怎样运作的。这里是一个宾语从句，缺少引导词，根据句意应该用how。

【5】根据前面一句“Start out at that end,”吃自助餐时，在那一端开始，所以根据句意At65other end 在另一段结束，one---the other---一方面---另一方面，故填the。

【6】在告诉过去的一件事情，所以句子用一般过去时态，“I soon66(learn) how everything worked in the USA,” the man told his friend.这个男士告诉他的朋友，“在美国我不久就了解到了每件事情怎样运作”。故填learned。

【7】句意：你甚至可以取得成功，但如果你等着别人给你带来成功，你永远都不会成功。上下文之间存在转折关系，所以使用but。

【8】句意：你不得不站起来，要依靠自己来得到成功。使用反身代词yourself表示强调。

【9】The only things是句子的主语，这是一个单数名词，而且本句是一般现在时，所以使用is。

【10】本句中缺少主语，使用使用satisfy的名词satisfaction，英语happiness并列。
