分析 直到最近,白日梦被认为是浪费时间,或者它被认为是一种不健康的逃避现实生活和职责的方式.但现在有些人对于白日梦有了一种新的看法,认为它可能是一个很健康的事,一些研究者发现白日梦可能对心理健康起重要的作用.
解答 61.wasconsidered 考查被动语态.it(daydreaming)和consider是动宾关系,即白日梦被看作…,句子缺少谓语动词,应该用被动语态,故填was considered.
62.healthy考查形容词.根据空前的a very和空后的名词thing,可知此处应用health的形容词形式,故填healthy.
63.is 考查系动词.theytell us是插入语,主语daydreaming是第三人称单数,句意:他们告诉我们,白日梦是一种很好的放松方式,故填is.
64.beyond 考查介词.beyond意为"超出",句意:白日梦的益处不仅仅是让人放松,故填beyond.
65.surprising考查形容词.根据后面的名词conclusion可知,此处应用surprise的形容词修饰名词,故填surprising,意为"令人吃惊的".
66.concentration考查名词.根据前面的improves可知此处应用名词作宾语,故填concentration.
67.to 考查介词.be dueto是固定短语,意为"由于,由…引起的",due在此是形容词,故填to.
68.himself考查反身代词.句意:年轻的托马斯•爱迪生把自己想象成一个发明家.此处意为"把自己想象成…",所以应用反身代词himself.
69.true 考查固定短语.come true是固定短语,意为"实现",故填true.
70.vividly考查副词.因为副词修饰动词,所以修饰动词picture应用vivid的副词形式,故填vividly.
点评 本题目主要考查学生对名词、形容词、副词、固定短语、主谓一致、被动语态、反身代词等基础知识的掌握情况.在平时的学习中,应该熟练掌握单词的词性和它们在句中所起的作用.
