Because he has been out of _____ work for months, the young man now depends on his parents for _____ living.
- A.不填; a
- B.the; a
- C.不填; 不填
- D.the; 不填
试题分析:out of work失业;living作名词解时,是“生活,生计”的意思,指的是一种谋生的具体方式或手段,是可数名词,常与冠词a连用。 故选A。
考点:考查冠词的用法。
点评:本题难度适中。冠词是高中学生必须掌握的知识点,虽然在初中就提到冠词,由于冠词的用法太多,做题时必须根据不同的语境来确定用哪一个冠词。冠词在固定短语中的考查也是近几年的热点。
即学即练:George couldn’t remember when he first met Mr. Anderson, but he was sure it was Sunday because
everybody was at church.
A./; the B. the; / C. a; / D./; a
解析:C。不定冠词用于表示星期的名词前,泛指“某个星期几”;at church表示“做礼拜”,
at the church表示“在教堂”。故本题选C
Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I try to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
