Question

【题目】阅读下列材料，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中的语法的正确形式填空。

Anna pushed herself up from the bench and walked steadily with her walking sticks toward the office. As soon as she entered the room, she saw it. 【1】 blue umbrella was there, unopened, 【2】 a floor-to-ceiling window. 【3】 (see) it so near, nearly within reach, Anna forgot herself and pointed to her possession.

“That is mine,” she said. “My son brought it to me from Paris and I want it back.”

The man had risen when she entered and he 【4】 (remain) standing. He turned to look at the umbrella 【5】 she pointed. “Yes. I know the umbrella is from Paris, ”he said, showing a mix of innocence and curiosity. “Actually, it is 【6】 (make) in Italy, but it’s sold in Paris. It’s not the one your son gave you. I bought it myself.”

Anna stared at him. Was he claiming that it was his own umbrella? She had run all the way to this office building from the shop 【7】 her umbrella was stolen.

“My son gave 【8】 to me,” Anna countered. “It means everything to me, because my son is 【9】 (die).”

As soon as she said them, Anna knew she had made a mistake. She had opened herself up to a stranger. He had no business knowing the most important fact of her life, a grief she kept private. 【10】 could anyone understand what her son’s death meant to her?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】The

【2】against

【3】Seeing

【4】remained

【5】when/as

【6】made

【7】where

【8】it

【9】dead

【10】How

【解析】

【1】The 上一句的it说明这里是再次出现,表示特指要用定冠词。

【2】against 一把伞是不会独自立着的,应该是依靠着某物。against的这个意义是容易被忽视的。

【3】Seeing 这里是现在分词短语作状语表示伴随,注意判断逻辑主语和非谓语动词的关系。

【4】remained 本句的and说明连接的是两个并列的句子，前后时态保持一致。

【5】when/as 用as或者when引导时间状语从句,说明主句和从句的动作同时发生。

【6】made 考查学生对篇章衔接词but所表示的句子部分间的语法关系,下一句的is sold也是解题线索。

【7】where 这里是一个定语从句,先行词在定语从句里充当地点状语。

【8】it 在这里Anna说的是双方都知道的这把雨伞,所以用it。

【9】dead 这里需要一个形容词作表语。

【10】How 考查学生对句型特点和句子意义的理解能力。这里用反问句表示Anna的心情之复杂。
