I was working in a beer company, helped the president do something important. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of the cancer. I worked during the day and drive 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tired, but it was that I wanted to do. I didn’t want to bother the president with my trouble, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know about it. So I told a friend and asked him not to share the information with someone. Therefore, the president called me into his office one day. He faced me from across her large desk, looked at me and said, “Alice, I hear your mother is very ill.” I was caught by surprise and burst into tear. He just gentle said a sentence I will never forget: “Whatever you need.”

Answer 1

1.helped ---helping

2.the cancer

3.drive – drove

4.tired---tiring

5.that --- what

6.someone---anyone

7.Therefore--- However

8.her --- his

9.tear---tears

10.gentle---gently

【解析】

试题分析：

1.helped ---helping考查非谓语动词。help和主语I之间是主谓关系，要用现在分词作状语。故helped ---helping。

2.the cancer 考查名词。cancer泛指癌症时，是不可数名词，表示类别时，前面不用加the。故去掉the。

3.drive – drove 考查谓语动词。本处是and连接两个并列的谓语动作，worked为过去式，drive也应为过去式，故drive – drove。

4.tired---tiring 考查形容词。tired感到疲劳的，多修饰人；tiring令人疲劳的，多修饰物。本处是修饰“我白天上班晚上开车40英里回家陪伴母亲”这件事，要用tiring，故tired---tiring。

5.that --- what 考查表语从句。分析句子结构可知was后是一个表语从句，该表语从句中动词不定式to do后缺少宾语，要用what充当，同时又引导该宾语从句。故that --- what。

6.someone---anyone 考查不定代词。someone 某人；anyone任何人。此处是说，我把这件事告诉了一个朋友，但请求他不要让任何人知道。故someone---anyone。

7.Therefore--- However 考查连词。therefore 因此，表因果关系；however 然而，表转折关系。根据下文可知总裁知道了这件事，故本句表示转折，用however。故Therefore--- However。

8.her --- his 考查形容词性物主代词。本句的主语是he，故此处是指他的办公桌，用his 不用her。 故her --- his。

9.tear---tears 考查固定短语。burst into tears突然大哭，“泪水”要用复数形式tears。故tear---tears。

10.gentle---gently 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰动词said，要用副词，形容词不能修饰动词，故gentle---gently。
