Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Several years ago I was at a train station waiting in line to buy a ticket. As I stood there I saw a young man asking people for money so that he could buy his breakfast. Most of the travelers simply 【1】________ (ignore) the young man or gave 【2】________ (he) a dirty look, yet a well-dressed middle-age man reacted differently. When【3】________ (draw) near by the young man, the gentleman looked【4】_______ him and quietly asked, “How much will you need?” I couldn’t hear 【5】________ the young man said but watched as the gentleman pulled several 【6】_______ (note) from his wallet and 【7】_______ (calm) placed them in the young man’s hands.

I don’t know whether the young man actually used the money for his breakfast or for 【8】______ purpose. What I do know is that I saw two different reactions to the same situation. I saw people who 【9】________ (be) either afraid or annoyed. And then I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless young man as though he were a brother. I decided then and there that, even though we have to be【10】________ (care) in this world, I would rather be like the gentleman.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】ignored

【2】him

【3】drawn

【4】at

【5】what

【6】notes

【7】calmly

【8】other

【9】were

【10】careful

【解析】

试题分析：在火车站遇到无家可归的年轻人，人们所展示出来的不同态度。

【1】ignored 此处考查并列谓语，根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故填ignored。

【2】him 代词宾格作宾语，故填him。

【3】drawn 句意：绅士被这个年轻人即将靠近的时候，绅士看着他，静静地问他。the gentleman和draw之间是被动关系，所以用when+过去分词做时间状语。此空填drawn。

【4】at 句意：绅士看着他，静静地问他。look at sb.看着某人，故填at.

【5】what 句意：我不能听见年轻人说的话。此处是what引导的宾语从句，起双重作用，故填what。

【6】notes 句意：绅士从钱夹里拿出几张纸币。Several后跟名词复数，故此处填notes。

【7】calmly 句意：绅士冷静地把纸币放在年轻人的手里。副词修饰动词，故填calmly。

【8】other 句意：我不知道是否年轻人用这钱去吃早饭或者有其他的目的。此处填other。

【9】were 句意：我看到人们要么害怕要么反感。people是先行词，所以后面的谓语动词用复数形式，根据句意可知填were.

【10】careful be动词后面用形容词作表语，故填careful。
