Answer 1

【答案】

【1】after

【2】through

【3】changed

【4】other

【5】So

【6】happen

【解析】

短文大意：短文讲述了一个黑客的故事。约翰是一个中学生，数学很好，但是英语很差得了F。因为精通电脑，于是他连接到学校办公室的电脑，把自己的英语成绩改成了A，这就是黑客，他们知道如何从其他计算机获取信息并将新信息输入。

【1】句意：他每天放学后晚上用它工作。

本句缺时间状语；after school放学后，根据句意语境“晚上”和首字母提示，可知填after。

【2】句意：约翰查阅了学校档案。

search through查遍；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填through。

【3】句意：然后他把英语成绩从F改成了A。

本句缺谓语动词，根据“from an F to an A从F成了A”，结合短文时态为一般过去时，可知改了成绩，故填changed。

【4】句意：黑客知道如何从其他计算机获取信息并将新信息输入。

computers计算机，名词需用形容词修饰；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知是别的计算机，故填other。

【5】句意：警察也是。

本句是倒装句；结构为so/neither/nor+情态动词/be动词/助动词+主语。表示“某人也是/也不是”，根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填So。

【6】句意：这在现实生活中可能不会发生，但黑客可以犯罪。

could not不可能，情态动词后接原形动词；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填happen。

短文填空，要求根据句意语境和首字母提示填空，使句意通顺，语法正确，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，从而判断所填单词的正确形式。例如小题2，search through查遍；根据句意语境和首字母提示，可知填through。
