Answer 1

【答案】

【1】has lived

【2】my

【3】more

【4】surprised

【5】to spend

【6】where

【7】shapes

【8】because

【9】over

【10】was taken

【解析】本文講述了作者帶母親出去吃飯的故事,和媽媽相處的時光讓作者學會了放慢腳步。

【1】had lived

句意為：自從父親20年前去世后,她一直獨自生活 。結合語境可知,媽媽獨自生活,故選live。在since引導的時間狀語從句中,主句通常用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài),且主語為第三人稱單數(shù),故填has lived。

【2】my

句意為：在他去世后,我搬到了2500英里外的加利福尼亞州,在那里開始了我自己的家庭。own 在此意為“自己的”,詞前通常用形容詞性物主代詞,故填I的形容詞性物主代詞形式my。

【3】more

句意為：當我在6年前搬回到家鄉(xiāng)附近時,我決定花費 更多的時間和我的媽媽在一起。上文提到我在遙遠的加利福尼亞州安家落戶,很少回家,故此處意思是要花費更多時間和媽媽在一起,故填much的比較級形式more。

【4】surprised

句意為：當我給媽媽打電話,建議兩人出去吃晚餐時,她很驚訝 。結合下文的“‘What’s wrong? She asked.”可知,她為此感到很驚訝,故選surprise；由空格前的系動詞was可知空格處填形容詞作表語,又知該句主語為人,故填surprised。

【5】to spend

句意為：我說：“我只是想花費時間和你在一起。”上文提到作者要和媽媽一起吃晚飯,可知她要花費一些時間與媽媽在一起,故選用spend；分析句子結構此處缺不定式做want的賓語,故填to spend。

【6】where

句意為：我們去了街區(qū)，在那里我們可以交談。分析句子結構及備選詞匯可知,此處指我和媽媽去了街區(qū),在那里我們可以交談。此處缺連接詞,由選項可知此處應填入地點副詞where。

【7】shapes

句意為：因為她的眼睛僅能看到大的物體形狀 ,我不得不為她讀菜單。由句意可知,此處選shape；結合語境可知,此處泛指所有比較大形狀的物體,應用復數(shù)形式shapes。

【8】because

句意為：我過去常常讀菜單, 因為你太小了以至于不能點餐。根據(jù)語境可知此處前后句意有明顯的因果關系,且兩個分句之間缺少連詞,故填because。

【9】over

句意為：晚飯期間，我們交談得很愉快。根據(jù)語境可知此處指在晚飯期間,我跟媽媽交談得很愉快,分析句子結構此處應填入介詞,over dinner在晚飯期間,故填over。

【10】was taken

句意為：我被媽媽帶到一些小時候經常和朋友一起玩耍的地方。由句意可知,我被媽媽帶到了這些勾起童年回憶的地方,故用一般過去時的被動語態(tài),填was taken。
