Question

【题目】I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important【1】(have) a passion is to life.

One day I went with Mum【2】(drop) my sister off at the gym. Then, as Mum stopped at a red light, someone on the roadside caught my eyes. It was a man【3】(dress) in rags, homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I【4】(see) many like him before.

But the man wasn’t sitting down with a sad 【5】(express). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing【6】(merry) to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing【7】he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he is homeless?” I asked.

“He bought 【8】,”she replied.

“But if he is homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the only important things. We need happiness, too.”

“I see.” The man【9】care too much about music, so he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there【10】 (be) nothing to look forward to. A passion a person the happiness he needs to keep going!

【解析】这是一篇故事。本篇短文主要通过一位衣衫褴褛、无家可归、食不果腹的男人在无钱购买衣服食物的情况下去买来一个收音机并伴随着音乐翩翩起舞的故事及母女俩的对话，说明对生活的激情的重要性。

1. 空格处在句中作主语，故用动词的-ing形式。

2. 这里用动词不定式作目的状语。

3. 此处在句中作定语，dress 与sb是被动关系，故填dressed。

4. 根据前句的时态以及时间状语before提示，用过去完成时。

5. 在形容词后应该用名词。

6. 修饰动词dance应该用副词。

7. 此处为定语从句，先行词为不定代词thing，且被最高级修饰，所以用that。

8. 此处用it代指收音机。

9. 此处表示肯定推测，故用must。句意：这个人一定太在乎音乐，所以他买了一台收音机而不是食物和衣服。

10. there be句型，nothing为主语，be用is。句意：没有它，就没有什么可期待的了。
