题目内容
10.Sometimes your friends start to talk about a new video game or a new app they have downloaded.It sounds pretty cool,and your friends really seem to like it.You become so (61)interested (interest) in it that you want to buy it too.Has this ever happened to you?In the US and in places around the world,there is a similar feeling of wanting the(62)newest (new),greatest tech gadgets (小玩意).There is a big (63)attraction (attract) to getting the latest technology even though people may not need it.But why is this?
There′s (64)an initial (最初的)excitement about these technologies that (65)gets ( get ) people′s attention,according to Richard Larson,a director at MIT,US.If there′s a big group of people (66)who/that want these things,you want to be a part of the excitement too.
One of the major US (67)companies (company) that really take advantage of this is Apple.It comes out with a new iPhone with very small changes every year.But people still flock (涌入) to the stores even if they have just bought the previous phone.
However,(68)buying (buy)these things may not always be the best choice.You could be buying things that you don′t really need and(69)spending (spend) too much money just for the right to show it off to your friends.
Not only that,but our need to always be on your phones or playing video games takes (70)upa lot of time in our lives.So is this excitement over technology a good or a bad thing?
分析 本文的论述的主题是"人们为什么想要买最新的产品".麻省理工大学的Richard Larson指出,人们对于新科技有一种最初的激动.如果大多数人都在购买最新的产品,你可能也会成为其中一员.美国的苹果公司正是利用了这一点.每一年他们都会推出新的iPhone,改变很少,但人们还是争相购买.但购买最新的产品真的好吗?你可能会花费很多钱,但买了自己不需要的东西,你仅仅为了炫耀.而你买的最新的手机或电子游戏机会占用你大部分的时间.竞相购买最新的产品,到底有利还是有弊呢?
解答 61 interested 62 newest 63 attraction 64 an 65 gets 66 who/that 67 companies 68 buying 69 spending 70 up
61.interested 考查固定搭配.become interested in变得对…感兴趣.同时,"so+形容词+that…"句型也是固定用法,故填interested.
62.newest 考查最高级.根据逗号后面的greatest,可知这里是最高级来形容名词,故填newest.
63.attraction 考查名词.big是形容词,后面应接名词,故填attraction.可将此结构视为固定考点:冠词+形容词+名词.
64.an 考查冠词.initial的首字母发音是元音,所以应该用an形容,表示泛指,故填an.an initial excitement符合考点"冠词+形容词+名词".
65.gets 考查动词的时态.that( get ) people′s attention为从句,用来修饰"an initial excitement",从句的谓语在人称和数上与主语保持一致.an initial excitement为单数,本文时态为一般现在时,故此处用第三人称单数形式,填gets.
66.who/that 考查定语从句.先行词为a big group of people,指人.从句为____want these things,缺少主语,定语从句中作主语,指人,用who/that.
67.companies.考查名词复数.one of+名词复数,表示"…之一".填companies.
68.buying 考查非谓语.may not always be为谓语,此句话缺少主语,用doing作主语.填buying.
69.spending 考查非谓语.通过"could be buying and"可知,spend与buy构成并列谓语,形式保持一致,填spending.
70.up 考查介词.take up为固定词组,意为"占据".句意:我们对手机和电子游戏机的需求占据我们生命中的很多时间.
点评 语法填空题要瞻前顾后找关键词,有提示词的空要注意所给单词的词性.纯空格题可考虑冠词、代词、介词和连词.
