题目内容
【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that 【1】(matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 【2】, I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 【3】 (forget). They seldom do something in return.
Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 【4】 (meet) him at the station. 【5】arriving home, much to my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 【6】 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 【7】shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.
Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and 【8】(worry), but things may not turn out as badly as【9】(expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, “Life is 【10】best classroom one can never get.”

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子在他生日时送了他一只手表作为礼物,这让他很意外也很高兴。作者通过这件事情明白了我们应该多看生活的积极面。
【1】考查主谓一致。分析句子可知,此处是定语从句谓语动词,主语that指代先行词the thing,故它是第三人称单数,由前文的is判断为一般现在时,故谓语动词用三单现形式,故填matters。
【2】考查副词。句意:然而,我却没有从儿子那儿得到过任何东西,他是一个大学生。结合上下文可知,此句和上文是转折意义,且位于句首修饰整个句子,故填However。
【3】考查形容词。此处应填形容词作为表语,再结合语境可知,此处意为“孩子们似乎是健忘的”,forgetful“健忘的”,故填forgetful。
【4】考查时态。此处是主句谓语动词,由上文的came判断为一般过去时,故填met。
【5】考查介词。此处考查固定用法on/upon doing sth.“一……就……”,故填On/Upon。
【6】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,say和my son之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作状语,故填saying。
【7】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句关系词,先行词watch在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词which,故填which。
【8】考查名词。此处应填名词作为have的宾语,worry“担心”是可数名词,由concerns判断此处用复数形式,故填worries。
【9】考查状语从句的省略。此处考查比较状语从句的省略,expect和它的主语things之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,完整句子为things may not turn out as badly as they are expected,主动句主语一致,且从句有be动词时,可以省略从句的主语和be,故省略为things may not turn out as badly as expected,故填expected。
【10】考查冠词。根据best判断此处应填定冠词the构成最高级结构,故填the。
第7小题考查定语从句关系词。确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步:找出先行词;分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分;考虑特殊情况。以本题为例:
找出先行词:watch
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分:先行词watch在从句___7___shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well.中充当主语,应用指物的关系代词
考虑特殊情况:非限制性定语从句中不能用that
故填which
