【解析】
文章主要介绍了背包客Tony Giles虽然是个失聪的盲人,但是他立志要游遍全世界。
【1】句意:虽然他又瞎又聋,但他喜欢旅行。
根据句意理解可知,he is both blind and deaf与he loves travelling两句前后有转折之意,although“尽管”符合句意,故答案为although。
【2】句意:这位勇敢者在10岁时失明。
根据句意理解及句中的at the age of 10可知,这里说的是在10岁的时候,他失去了视力,是过去发生的事实,要用一般过去时,所以lost符合句意。故答案为lost。
【3】句意:但在十几岁的时候,他上特殊学校时学会了旅行。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“去上学”,英语是go to school,而句中是while引导的时间状语从句,从句中省略了he was,主语he与go to school之间是主动关系,所以这里用going形式,故答案为going。
【4】句意:然后,他给自己定下了访问世界上每一个国家的目标。
根据句意理解可知,句子的主语是he,英语中当句子的主语与宾语是同一人时,宾语用反身代词,所以这里应该填himself,故答案为himself。
【5】句意:因为这可能是盲人面临的“最大”挑战。
根据句意理解及空格前的the可知,这里表达的是“最大的挑战”,所以这里要用最高级,故答案为biggest。
【6】句意:自2000年3月踏上新奥尔良的第一次国外之旅以来。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“第一次旅行”,英语中表达“第几”要用序数词,所以这里应该用first,故答案为first。
【7】句意:他还遇到了他一生挚爱的希腊盲人塔蒂安娜。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“遇见”,英语是meet,而这里讲述的是过去的事情,所以这里应该用过去时,meet的过去式是met,故答案为met。
【8】句意:看到他骑着骆驼穿过约旦的瓦迪拉姆沙漠。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“穿过”,英语是ride through,所以这里应该用介词through表示沙漠内部穿过,故答案为through。
【9】句意:在参观世界七大奇迹之一的佩特拉之前。
根据句意理解可知,这里表达的是“七大奇观”,英语是Seven Wonders,空格前有Seven所以这里应该缺的是Wonders,指的是“奇观”,是可数名词,所以这里用复数形式,故答案为Wonders。
【10】句意:去新奥尔良旅行使我知道我可以一个人做。
根据句意理解及文中I was by myself and didn’t know where I was going. But I breathed deeply and told myself to go on可知,“我”是靠自己,并且不知道要去哪儿。但是深呼吸,告诉我自己继续前行。这说明Giles能自己独自一个人去旅行。alone“单独的,独自的”符合语境。故答案为alone。
选词填空的题目要注意做题的步骤。首先要看方框中所给的词都是什么意思,然后再开始看题目,根据题意选择要填的词时,就会心中有数了,但是选定某个词之后,还要应用学过的词法,句法等语法来确定最终应该填什么形式。比如本题中第七小题He also___7___ the love of his life ,Tatiana ,a blind Greek woman确定要填meet动词之后,还要知道文章描述的是过去的事情,所以这里要用过去时,所以填的答案是met。
