Answer 1

【答案】

【1】as

【2】constantly

【3】or

【4】are experiencing

【5】meaningless

【6】depression

【7】an

【8】who/that

【9】to make

【10】moments

【解析】

试题分析：人生有两个主要的选择：接受现况，或承担改变现况的责任。

【1】as 句意：人生有两个主要的选择：接受现况，或承担改变现况的责任。此处as引导一个方式状语从句，“按着它们所存在的“。故填as。

【2】constantly 副词修饰动词，故填constantly。

【3】or 句意：“当我长大了，我会这样做。”或“在几年内，我会这样做的。”此处表示一种“选择”，故填or。

【4】are experiencing 此处表示“他们正在体验的生活”，故用现在进行时态，are experiencing。

【5】meaningless 句意：他们认为他们正在体验的生活是无聊的、无意义的。故填meaningless。

【6】depression suffer后面用名词作宾语，“遭受沮丧和挫败”，故填depression。

【7】an incredibly不可思议地，这个词以元音开头，所以加an表示“一”，故填an。

【8】who/that person是先行词（指人），后面是一个定语从句，从句缺少引导词，缺少主语，故填who/that。

【9】to make 此处是动词不定式作后置定语，故填to make。

【10】moments 句意：那些珍贵的时刻。根据前面的those，可知用名词复数，故填moments。

【名师点拨】

不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如小题1，university 这个词以辅音开头，所以前面加a，表示一所大学。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。
