She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll b【6】 very angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents. Her dad said he also made careless mistakes h【7】 sometimes. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my p【8】 in the future!” Mary says.

短文大意：本文以女学生玛丽为例介绍了现在的学生经常有很多烦恼。面对生活中的焦虑，玛丽认为和别人交谈会有很大的帮助，并给出了自己的例子。所以，最好不要回避我们的问题，而是总是试图在别人的帮助下解决它们!

【1】句意：有时他们在学习上有问题，有时和他们的朋友。and连接并列结构，根据Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork,和首字母提示，可知填sometimes。

【2】句意：华盛顿的一名女学生玛丽·史密斯对此表示赞同。本句缺谓语动词，Mary Smith是单数第三人称，动词需用三单形式；根据“Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Mary.和首字母提示，可知她赞同上述说法，故填agrees。

【3】句意：玛丽有一次丢了钱包，担心了好几天。本句缺谓语动词，根据and worried和首字母提示，可知用过去式，故填lost。

【4】句意：她不敢把这件事告诉她的父母。本句缺表语形容词，根据上文worried for days和首字母提示，可知不敢告诉她父母，故填afraid。

【5】句意：她甚至每天步行三英里去上学，因为她没有钱。本句前后是因果关系，需用because连接；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填because。

【6】句意：如果我告诉我的父母，他们会非常生气!本句是条件状语从句，主句是主系表结构缺系词；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填be / become。

【7】句意：她爸爸说他自己有时也会犯粗心的错误。根据句意语境可知爸爸说的是他自己，结合首字母提示，故填himself。

【8】句意：“我将永远记得在未来分享我的问题!”玛丽说。形容词性物主代词my后接名词，根据前文“Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Mary.和首字母提示，可知填problems。

【9】句意：我们经常忘记我们的父母比我们有更多的经验，他们总是在那里帮助我们。more更多的，修饰名词；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填experience。

【10】句意：正如一句英语谚语所说，分享一个问题就像把它切成两半。be like像……一样，介词like后接动名词；cut in half一分为二；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填cutting。

短文填空，要求根据句意结构和首字母提示选择正确的单词形式填空，使句意通顺，文意连贯。主要考查单词形式，包括名词的单复数和所有格、动词的三单形式、非谓语动词、基数词或序数词，主格代词/宾格代词和物主代词（形容词性物主代词/名词性物主代词）等。这类题目难度不大，重点是掌握句意，在理解的基础上把握句子时态，从而判断所给单词的正确形式。
