Question

【题目】语法填空
Visiting the city when you are six months pregnant and have a two-year-old girl can be really (challenge). One spring afternoon, we went to one of the grocery stores nearby to buy some food for dinner. There was no sign of rain, and the store was just around the comer, so we went there an umbrella. However, we were about to leave the store the rain came in full force. It seemed that the streets would be flooded water within minutes.
I noticed a young Chinese couple staring at (we) when we came to a crossroads and were waiting for the light to change. I figured they were probably wondering a pregnant foreigner was dragging her little kid out through the rain. But as we crossed the street, woman offered me her umbrella. I told her I couldn't take it when it was clearly starting to storm. She insisted, (hand) it to me and hurried off with her husband.
Though caught in the rain (expect), we still treasured the memory and will always recall the (friend) and kindness of the Chinese couple.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了怀孕6个月的作者带着女儿去附近的一家杂货店买一些晚餐吃的东西，不料却遭遇大雨，中国的一对夫妇把他们的雨伞送给了作者，让作者记得这对中国夫妇的友善。
(1)考查形容词。句意：当你怀孕六个月并且带一个2岁的女孩的时候去城市旅游真的很有挑战性。本句中缺少表语故填challenging。
(2)考查介词。句意：因为没有下雨的迹象，商店就在拐角处，所以我们没带雨伞就去了。故填without。
(3)考查固定搭配。句意：然而，我们正要离开商店，这时雨下得很大。were/was about to do…when…，“正要做...…这个时候......”，因此要填when。
(4)考查固定搭配。句意：看来几分钟之内街上就会被水淹没。be flooded with/by…"被.......淹没",故填by/with。
(5)考查名词。介词后接的宾语，故要用宾格us。
(6)考查副词。句意：我想他们可能想知道为什么一个怀孕的外国人在雨中拽着她的小孩。一个怀孕的妈妈在雨中带着个小孩确实让人不解，所以填why。
(7)考查冠词。句意：但是当我们穿过街道时，那个女人给了我她的伞。特指上文中的那对夫妻中的女的，特指要用the。
(8)考查谓语动词。句意：我告诉她我不能接受它，因为它显然开始有风暴了。她坚持把伞交给我，然后和她丈夫一起匆匆离去。是一般过去时，因此填handed。
(9)考查副词。句意：虽然是意外地遇到大雨，我们仍然珍惜这段记忆。副词修饰动词，作状语， 故填unexpectedly。
(10)考查名词。句意：我们仍然珍藏着这段回忆，并将永远记得这对中国夫妇的友好和友善。本句中friend作recall 的宾语，指的是友善，故填friendliness。
