第二节语法填空（共10小题;每小题1分，共15分）

A

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白

处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Sixteenyearsago,Jasonwasacollegeprofessor11ahugesix-bedroomhouseandafortuneoftwo

milliondollars.Afewyearsago.heknewmillionsofpeoplediedofhungereveryyear,andtherewereplaceswithno

schoolsandnoteachers.Thisworriedhimalotandhefeltguiltybeingarichmanwithout12（do）anything.

Therefore,hegaveawayallhismoneytocharities."Success13(notmeasure)byhowmuchmoneyyouhave

14byhowyouunderstandthetruemeaningoflife.46saidJason.

【答案】H.with

12.doing13.isnotmeasured

14.but

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。Jason以前是一个很有钱的大学教授，后来知道每年都有很多人饿死，还有一些

地方没有学校和老师后，就把所有的钱都捐给慈善机构了。他认为成功不是用你有多有钱衡量，而是你对

生命真谛的理解来衡量。

11题详解】

考查介词。句意：16年前，杰森是一名大学教授，拥有一栋六居室大房子和200万美元的财产。根据句意

可知，此处表示“拥有一栋六居室大房子和200万美元的财产”，整个短语表伴随，应用介词with。故填

witho

【12题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这使他很担心，他感到内疚，身为富人却什么都不做。分析句子可知，设空处位

于介词without后，作宾语，应用动名词doing形式。故填doing。

【13题详解】

考查动词时态语态。句意：”成功不是用你有多少钱来衡量的，而是用你对生活真谛的理解来衡量的。”杰

森说。分析句子可知，设空处在句中作谓语，其主语为success,与measure之间为被动关系，表示“被衡

量”，应用被动语态；结合句意可知，此处是在陈述客观真理，用一般现在时的被动语态，主语success为

不可数名词，故谓语动词用单数形式。故填isnotmeasured。

【14题详解】

考查并列连词。句意：“成功不是用你有多少钱来衡量，而是用你对生活真谛的理解来衡量的。”杰森说。

分析句子可知，设空处前后均为by+how引导的宾语从句，前后之间结构一致，故需填一个并列连词；结

合句意可知，此处表示“成功不是用你有多少钱来衡量，而是用你对生命真谛的理解来衡量”，not...but...

为固定搭配，意为“不是……而是……故填but。

B

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白

处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

NaomiWatts,oneofHollywood'sgreatest15(star),wasborninEnglandon28thSeptember,1968.At

Australia17Naomipersuadedhermothertolethertakeactingclasses.Afterbitpartsincommercials,she

landedherfirstroleinForLoveAlone.LaterherpartinthefilmMulhollandDriveshowedherstrongactingability

andearnedmuchrespect.

【答案】15.stars

16.began17.where

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了好莱坞明星娜奥米•沃茨的成长经历。

【15题详解】

考查名词。句意：娜奥米•沃茨，好莱坞最伟大的明星之一，1968年9月28日出生于英国。分析句子可知，

句中涉及固定短语“oneof+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”，意为“最……的……之一”，“star"意为"明星",

为可数名词，复数形式为“stars”。故填stars。

【16题详解】

考查时态。句意：七岁时，她开始跟随母亲和哥哥在英国各地旅行，直到1982年他们在澳大利亚定居，娜

奥米说服母亲让她上表演课。根据句意和句中“Atseven”可知，句中陈述的是娜奥米七岁时的事，应用一

般过去时，“begin”意为“开始”，动词词性,过去式为“began”。故填began。

17题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：七岁时，她开始跟随母亲和哥哥在英国各地旅行，直到1982年他们在澳大利亚定居，

娜奥米说服母亲让她上表演课。分析句子可知，句子为限制性定语从句，先行词为“Australia”，在从句中

作地点状语，故应用关系副词“where”引导从句。故填where。

C

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空臼处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白

处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

experiences,19ashypersonmayfeel20(embarrass)infrontofalargegroupofpeople.

【答案】18.topredict

19.while

20.embarrassed

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了什么是人格以及理解人格的作用。

【18题详解】

考查不定式和动词短语。句意：理解人格可以让我们预测人们对待特定情况的反应，以及他们的喜好和价

值。allowsbtodosth是固定短语，意为“允许某人做某事"，故填topredict。

【19题详解】

考查并列连词。句意：例如，一个人在面对新的经历时可能会高兴地跳起来，而一个害羞的人可能会在一

大群人面前感到尴尬。前后分句表达对比含义，故填while。

【20题详解】

考查形容词。句意：例如，一个人在面对新的经历时可能会高兴地跳起来，而一个害羞的人可能会在一大

群人面前感到尴尬。feel后面接形容词作表语，修饰人用ed形容词，故填embarrassed。

【答案】24.A25.C26.B27.D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述一个年轻女子努力实现自己目标的故事，来表达如果没有

一个强有力的理由或目标，生活中的任何事情都是困难的。

【24题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段"IoncemetayoungwomanwhohaddreamsofswimmingfortheU.SOlympicteam.

Shehadtogetupeverymorningat4a.m.toswimfor3hoursbeforegoingtoschool.Shedidnotpartywithher

friendsonSaturdaynight.Shehadtostudyandkeephergradesup,justlikeeveryoneelse.（我曾经遇到过一位年

轻女子，她梦想成为美国奥运代表队的一员。她每天早上4点起床，游泳3个小时后才去上学。星期六晚

上她没有和朋友聚会。她必须学习，保持好成绩，就像其他人一样）”可知，文章以一个年轻女子的故事开

头，所以是举例子开头。故选A项。

【25题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第二段中"Shesimplysaid,“IdoitfbrmyselfandthepeopleIlove.It，slovethatgetsmeover

thehurdlesandsacrifices."（她只是说，“我这么做是为了我自己和我爱的人。是爱让我克服障碍和牺牲。“）”

可知，此处是年轻女子在解释是什么让她一直坚持，所以前面是作者在问她是什么促使她有如此超人的野

心和牺牲，所以compelled此处是“促使”之意，与forced意思相近。故选C项。

【26题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“Firstthe"don*wants”,fortheycreatethe"wants”.（首先是"不想要”，因为它们

创造了“想要“）”可知，“想要”来自“不想要”。故选B项。

【27题详解】

推理判断题题。根据第六段中“Ihavelostmoneyandbeensetbackmanytimes,butitwasthedeepemotional

reasonsthatkeptmestandingupandgoingforward.Iwantedtobefreebyage40,butittookmeuntilIwas47

withmanylearningexperiencesalongtheway.（我已经失去了钱，多次被挫败，但正是深层次的情感原因让我

站起来继续前进。我想在40岁时自由，但我直到47岁才实现，一路上有很多学习经历）”以及第七段“Iwish

Icouldsayitwaseasy.Itwasn,t,butitwasn'thardeither.Butwithoutastrongreasonorpurposeanythinginlifeis

hard.（我希望我能说这很容易。不是，但也不难。但如果没有一个强有力的理由或目标，生活中的任何事情

都是困难的）”可知，后文是对划线句子的解释，所以从划线的句子中了解到，在现实中，没有更深层次的

情感原因，我们可能会遇到更多的障碍。故选D项。

【28题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的Successfulpersonslikelyshowupatthehealthclubconsistently,workwitha

personaltrainer,orgetupafewminutesearlyforaheartelevatingjog.Successfulpeopleliketojumpstarttheirday

俱乐部，与私人教练一起工作，或早起几分钟进行提升心脏的慢跑。成功人士喜欢以充沛的精力和运动带

来的让人感觉良好的内啡肽开始新的一天）”可知，成功人士可能会经常出现在健康俱乐部、与私人教练一

起锻炼或早起慢跑。由此可推知，成功人士往往更关注自己的健康状况。故选D项。

【29题详解】

词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的"Whenaskedaboutobesity,75%ofmanagerssaidthatbeingoverweightis

a"seriouscareerimpediment（妨碍）Dotheseresponsesreflectourobsessionwithweightlossandmirrorthe

的职业障碍”。这些回应是否反映了我们对减肥的obsession,并反映了流行文化中不断报道的瘦削形象?）”

可知，当被问及肥胖问题时，有高达75%的管理者表示，超重是“严重的职业障碍”。因此下文问到了“这

些回应是否反映了我们对减肥的痴迷”。obsession为名词，表示“痴迷、着魔"，与craze互为同义表达。故

选A项。

【30题详解】

的人认为良好的身体素质“对管理者的职业成功至关重要”。相比之下，17%的人说保持身材是“一个很好

的目标，但次于良好的身体素质“）”可知，经理猎头公司的研究表明，良好的身体素质对职业成功至关重

要。故选B项。
