这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国最近兴起的一种居住方式,不同家庭背景的人居住在一起.这种方式在美国被称为co-housing。
【1】考查it的用法。句意:在许多国家,不同背景的家庭住在一起是很平常的。此处为固定句型:it is+形容词+to do,表示“做某事怎么样”,it作形式主语,故填it。
【2】考查连接副词。句意:然而,在美国,这种想法可能仍然被认为是奇怪的。上句提到在很多国家这种现象很平常,然而在美国人们仍然认为这种想法很奇怪,表示转折关系,位于句首首字母大写,故填However。
【3】考查非谓语动词。句意:但是这种被称为co-housing的住房在美国也越来越受欢迎。分析句子结构可知,call在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语housing构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填called。
【4】考查名词。句意同上。gain为动词,后跟名词作宾语,表示“流行,受欢迎”。故填popularity。
【5】考查副词。句意:合住社区有私人拥有的房屋和共享的土地。修饰动词own应用副词,表示“私人地”。故填privately。
【6】考查动词时态语态。句意:据一份报告称,近年来,已经建成了大约25个合住社区。根据时间状语,在最近几年in recent years,是现在完成时态的标志词,“社区”和“建立”是被动关系,用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been built。
【7】考查定语从句。句意:合住小区是居民一起购物、做饭和吃饭的地方。本句为定语从句修饰先行词place,且先行词在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where。故填where。
【8】考查代词。句意:他们喜欢这种共享社区的感觉。修饰名词sense应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【9】考查介词。句意:孩子们有其他孩子一起玩,这是很多家庭都喜欢的。根据短语play with,表示“与……玩耍”。故填with。
【10】考查比较级。句意:居民们还表示,与附近的公寓相比,他们住在合租公寓里的钱要少得多。表示“比附近公寓租金要少”,且有“than”,所以用little的比较级less。故填less。
