题目内容
________ I heard the song by Taylor Swift, I was kept in its power.
| A.First time | B.For the first time |
| C.The first time | D.At the first time |
C
解析试题分析:逗号前后都是一个句子,故缺少连词,只有The first time是连词,后引导的是时间状语从句。for the first time 首次;第一次。表示有生以来或一段时间内第一次做某事,在句中一般单独作状语。例如:The two girl students talked for the first time at the beginning of the term.两位女生开学初首次交谈。 the first time 首次;第一次。常引导时间状语从句,其重点不是讲第一次做什么,而是说明另一动作或情况;也可以作表语,强调到说话为止某一情况或动作的次数。例如:I knew we would be good friends the first time I met her. 第一次见到她,我就知道我们会成为好朋友。 at the first time 是介词短语,是“在第一次”, He won the match at the first time. 他在第一次比赛中就获胜了。
考点:考查固定短语的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。固定短语的考查是近几年高考的热点,不仅在单选里,还出现在完形短文改错中。需要考生平时牢记它们的用法。

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts,it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11 th , 1 958,Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital,she put him in my lap,saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night. I sang to it, I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however,I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever. For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”,“pitiful",and “dying”, which sounded Ominous.
Christmas was coming, “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke,his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the window upstairs,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty: they were filled with love !
