题目内容

The company is also coming up with new ideas (32)to get (get) customers to dig deeper into their wallets.On each floor of Starbucks headquarters south of downtown Seattle,employees of the company tout(兜售)new plans for food and new drinks such as coffee liqueurs(咖啡酒)and this year's holiday offering:pumpkin spice lattes.
分析 文章大意:本文主要介绍了一个咖啡公司,该公司建立了很多连锁店,文章主要分析了该公司的发展.
解答 25.has established 考查动词时态.句意为,迄今为止,该公司已经成立了5945家店,因此填完成时has established.
26.may/might 考查情态动词.在一般现在时的肯定句中,主语it后面出现了原形seem,意味着学生们可以优先考虑填情态动词.本题说到了seem一词,有仿佛,似乎之意.文中说到仿佛世界上每个角落都是星巴克,但是后面公司说一切才刚开始,因此前面的仿佛似乎是一种猜测,表示可能,填may或might.
27.this/that/the 考查冠词,指示代词.指代前文所提的用定冠词或指示代词.
28.What 考查名词性从句.句意为,让公司取得成功的是保证顾客在店里心情好,这个句子明显看得出是从句做主语,从句中缺少主语,所以填What.
29.besides 考查介词.题目先把第三个舒适的环境先放在了前面,而把家和上班地方排除在后面.所以本题填besides.
30.grabs 考查动词时态主谓一致.主语是第三人称单数,所以用grabs.
31.so that 考查连词.句中出现了一个词叫drive-through.很多学生乍一看不知道什么意思,最后影响了答案填写.事实上,我们可以细想,这个词直译就是开车直接穿过去,也就是说车开到店门口就开过去了,因此可以理解为免下车,直接坐在车里取货.这样一来前后句表示目的关系.前句说很多顾客买完之后抓起东西就走,说明他们很赶时间,这也自然引出了后面提供免下车服务,填so that.
32.to get 考查非谓语动词.想出新点子是为了让顾客们掏更多的钱.所以用不定式表示目的.
点评 本篇语法填空题难度适中,题目很中规中矩,只要看懂文章就能保证非常高的正确率.注意句子中出现的各种语法要求,比如,时态,主谓一致,从句等.
