【题目】When I was a child I thought a lot about what it means to love. I once asked my mother if she loved me or my father 【1】(many), certain that I knew the answer — me. Instead, she bent down and looked at me【2】 the eye, hands gently on each shoulder. She explained that she couldn’t help 【3】(love) me and that the love of a mother for her baby was incredibly strong. But then she told me that the love she had for my daddy was a love of 【4】(choose), which made it special. Of all the people in the world, she chose 【5】 and he chose her. Now that I’m married, I consider each day 【6】 it takes to stay married as long as my parents have. It’s not that I don’t believe in romance. 【7】 I believe more in the sacred of the ordinary. I believe in love that is sustained by deliberate 【8】(kind) and the choice to see little acts as testaments of love and commitment rather than indicators of a spark that has died of love communicated each time he cooks meals and I schedule his dental appointment. This picture of love is certainly less 【9】(excite), but decidedly real, and more romantic in its own way because of the weight of its 【10】(real).
【答案】
【1】more
【2】in
【3】loving
【4】choice
【5】him
【6】what
【7】But
【8】kindness

【解析】这是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了自己小时候问自己的母亲是爱自己的孩子多一点、还是爱自己的丈夫多一点。作者当时确信母亲爱自己多一点,但是她的母亲的回答却让她出乎意料;后来作者自己也是如同她的母亲那样处理自己的问题。本文的主线是"爱",特点是强调爱对下一代人的影响。
【1】作者拿母亲对自己与对父亲的爱进行对比,应用比较级,所以填more。
【2】look at somebody in the eye表示"看着某人的眼睛",是固定用法,所以填in。
【3】can’t/couldn’t help doing表示"情不自禁做某事",是固定用法,所以填loving。
【4】此处是在介词of的后面,所以用名词choice表示一种对爱的选择,所以填choice。
【5】此处表示"她选择了他,他选择了她",所以填him。
【6】it takes sth to do"中,take表示"需要,花费",句中缺少sth,而且此处需要一个连接词连接两句话,故用what。
【7】前后两句话形成了对比,所以用But。
【8】这里需要一个名词,所以用kindness。
【9】这句话的意思是"爱的场景一定不那么让人兴奋……"。主语是The picture of love,指物,应用-ing形容词,故填exciting。,
【10】此处的意思是它以自己的方式更加浪漫,因为现实的分量。表示"现实/真实",所以填reality。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.【1】In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.【2】The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.【3】Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities.【4】Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus(过剩)food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.【5】Today, instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred nonfarmers.
