题目内容
20.We often hear that children wish they(61)were(be) grown-ups,and that old people wish to be young.Each age has its own pleasures and its own pains.The happiest people enjoy(62)whateach age gives them without wasting their time in(63)useless(use) regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few duties.A child(64)is fed(feed),looked after and loved by all grown-ups like parents or grandparents.What's more,life is always giving new things to him.(65)However,for older people they often lose their interest in those things.
On the other hand,a child may also have some pains with him.He is not so free to do what he wishes to do.He is often told not to do something.He will certainly be shouted(66)atfor doing something wrong.When a child grows up,he can no longer expect others(67)to pay(pay) for his food,〔lothes and many other things.And if he wants to live(68)comfortably(comfort),he has to work.If he still spends most of his time(69)playing(play)as he used to in childhood,he will go hungry.If,however,he works hard and has no trouble,he can build up his own position in society with great(70)happiness(happy).
分析 文章讲述了小孩子大都希望自己是大人,老年人又希望自己能是年轻人.其实每个年龄阶段都有各自的欢喜和忧愁,最幸福的人享受每个年龄段带给他们的一切,而不是在没用的遗憾中浪费时间.童年时代没有什么责任,一切都靠成人照顾,生活带来的总是新鲜的事情,然而年龄大的总是对这些事情失去兴趣.另一方面小孩渴望长大是因为他们不能做自己想做的事情,一旦做错了事还会被吵.当他们真的长大找到工作,在社会上建立起自己的地位时,他们会感到无比的幸福.
解答 61.were;考查be动词,根据句意"小孩希望成为成年人"可知这是一个虚拟语气,所以用过去时态were构成虚拟语气句,表示一种不可能实现的愿望.
62.what;考查代词,这是一个宾语从句,在从句中用what作从句的直接宾语.
63.useless;考查形容词,根据语境,这句意思应该为"最幸福的人享受每个年龄段带给他们的一切,而不是在没用的遗憾中浪费掉时间",所以空格处填useless.
64.is fed;考查动词的语态,根据句意动词与主语A child之间是被动关系,即"小孩被成年人喂养,照顾…",所以这里用动词的被动语态is fed.
65.However;考查连词,根据句意,前面讲的是小孩,后面讲道到的是大人,所以这里应当表示转折关系,故用Howevev.
66.at;考查介词,考查固定搭配,动词短语shout at意为"对…大喊,冲…嚷嚷".
67.to pay;考查动词不定式,expect作"希望,要求"讲,用法常为expect sb to do st或expect+that从句,所以空格处用动词的不定式形式to pay.
68.comfortably;考查副词,这里需要修饰的是动词live,所以要用副词形式.
69.playing;考查短语搭配,spend time (in) doing是固定搭配,意为"花费时间做某事".
70.happiness;考查名词,这里用名词形式happiness与前面的介词with构成介宾结构.
