Question

12．About six years ago I was having lunch in New York City（61）whena woman and a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn't help（62）overhearing（overhear） parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked，"So，how have you been？"And the boy who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied．"（63）Frankly（frank），I've been feeling a little depressed lately．"
This incident（64）impressed（impress） me most because it confirmed my growing（65）belief（believe） that children are changing．As far as I can remember，my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"（66）until we were in high school．
Undoubtedly，（67）achange in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don't seem childlike any more．Children speak，dress and behave more like adults（68）thanthey used to．
（69）Whetherhis is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer（70）exists（exist）．

Answer 1

分析 考查语法填空，文章大意：本文讲述了与过去比起来，孩子在说话，穿衣，做事发生的变化．

解答 61．when，考查连词，在固定句型"was doing sth．when正在做某事，这时"中，用when．
62．overhearing，考查动名词，在固定搭配"can't help doing 情不自禁地做"中，用动名词．
63．Frankly，考查副词，修饰整个句子用副词．
64．impressed，考查一般过去时态，讲述过去的事情，用一般过去时态．
65．belief，考查名词，做宾语，并且后跟同位语从句，故用名词．
66．until，考查连词，根据句意：直到上高中，我和我的朋友才弄清楚压抑这个词．用until引导时间状语从句．
67．a，考查冠词，泛指一种变化，用不定冠词．
68．than，考查连词，前面有more，后面用than，进行比较．
69．Whether，考查连词，后面有or，用了固定搭配"whether…or无论…还是"．
70．exists，考查主谓一致，主语为childhood又表示现在，所以用单数谓语．

点评 本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．
