Question

Peter wanted to know why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was he was always taking, never     1   .
One day Peter told Bill, “I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha,     2  ” “Thanks, Peter. We’d be   3   to come.” Bill answered. Peter then asked Bill to bring his violin. He said Bill and Martha sang well together. He said he was sure everyone    4  want Bill and Martha to sing for them. That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. “You make the  5   cake in the world. I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery.” Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget     6  something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house!   7 agreed.
The party was a big    8  . However, as the guests were leaving, they said “Thank you” to Bill and Martha   9    the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, “Thanks for the   10  .”

解析試題分析：這篇短文描寫了一個吝嗇的人彼得句型聚會的故事。聚會需要的一切東西都是他人提供的，最后這些客人們以一種巧妙地方式諷刺了彼得的吝嗇。
【小題1】聯(lián)系上文他總是索取，可知下文句意為，從沒沒有付出，故選B，給予。
【小題2】結合語境可知他想讓比爾也帶著瑪莎，選項B只能用于否定句，選項C用于疑問句，表示已經(jīng)，還。故選A，也。
【小題3】結合語境可知他們很高興參加，故選C，高興的。
【小題4】句意：他說他相信每個人都想比爾和瑪莎為他們唱首歌。結合語境可知這是站在過去角度看將來發(fā)生的動作，故用過去將來時態(tài)，助動詞用would，選A，將要。
【小題5】聯(lián)系下文in the world在世界上，及前文定冠詞the，可知用形容詞最高級，故選B，最好的。
【小題6】考察forget用法。Forget后面接動名詞表示忘記已經(jīng)做過的某事，接不定式表示不要忘記還沒有做的某事。結合語境可知這些事情還沒做，故選C，他沒有忘記向他們每個人要些東西。
【小題7】聯(lián)系上文，可知此處代詞指的是吉姆和瑪麗杰克遜，故人稱代詞用復數(shù)形式，作主語故用主格形式。選A。
【小題8】聯(lián)系上文a big可知此處用名詞，做表語。故選B，這個聚會是一個巨大的成功。
【小題9】聯(lián)系下文Betty for the cake，可知此處表示感謝的原因，as后面一般接從句，故選C，因為。
【小題10】聯(lián)系前文冠詞the，可知此處用名詞，故選A，邀請。
考點：有關一個吝嗇鬼鬼舉行的記述文
點評：這篇短文內容比較簡單，理解不難。各小題與上下文聯(lián)系比較緊密，答題中一定要注意聯(lián)系上下文。答完后多讀幾遍，看看是否符合邏輯，適當修改。個別小題可以當做單獨的詞義辨析題來做，先區(qū)分詞義，結合語境選出最能使語句通順的答案。
