Answer 1

【答案】

【1】think of

【2】contribution

【3】give up

【4】started

【5】better

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述孔子的事迹，孔子是中国历史上最伟大的老师，他生活在春秋时期，童年的生活很艰辛，三岁丧父，母亲抚养他长达成人。他坚持学习，后来成为了一名老师并开办了中国历史上第一所学校，并提出了“三人行必有我师，择其善者而从之”，他最重要的教诲是有关善良和礼貌。

【1】句意：许多人会想到孔子。

考查动词。根据前面的情态动词would，可知此处需要动词原形。give up动词词组，放弃；think of动词词组，想起；start动词，开始；better形容词，更好的，contribution名词，贡献。此处，想起孔子符合题意，故填think of。

【2】句意：因为他为当今教育所做出的贡献，许多人们仍然记得他，尊重他。

考查名词。根据句中his是形容词性物主代词，可知此处缺名词，方框中只有contribution是名词，his contribution to the education today他对当今教育的贡献符合题意。故填contribution。

【3】句意：当孔子还是孩子的时候，他不得不去工作来帮助他的母亲，但是他没有放弃学习。

考查动词。根据句中didn’t可知此处需要动词或动词词组，再根据studying可知，此处需要含有动词和介词的动词词组，give up studying放弃学习，符合题意。故填give up。

【4】句意：后来，他成了一名老师，并且开办了中国历史上第一所公立学校。

考查动词。根据become a teacher成为了一名老师和连词and，可知此处需要动词，start开创，开办，start the first public school符合题意，时态用一般过去时。故填started。

【5】句意：当我和三个人在一起的时候，其中肯定有一个人在某些方面比我强。

考查形容词比较级。根据句中的be动词和than，可知此处需要一个形容词的比较级，来形成对比。must be better than me一定比我强，符合题意。故填better。

解答选词填空，不仅要准确判断句子的意思，同时要对列出的词汇进行分析，从单词、词组的结构入手，也能对解答这种题型提供帮助。例如：本题中的第2小题，根据前面的his是形容词性物主代词，可以联想到“形容词+名词”这个结构，进而选出正确单词；第3小题，根据助动词的否定形式didn’t，可马上判断后面需要的是动词（或动词词组），根据studying这个动名词形式，不难想起“介词+动名词结构”，进而确定此处是动词词组give up。
