Question

4．I am going to tell you（56）an unbelievable thing that happened in my restaurant today．This afternoon a（57）poorly-dressed（poor dress）gentleman came into my restaurant．Nobody knew who he was．We wondered why he was so hungry．We were very surprised that he finished two orders of food（58）ina very limited time．We doubted（59）whether/if    the man was able to pay for the food．When he was asked to pay the bill，the gentleman asked if we would mind（60）waiting（wait）for just a few minutes．Then we were shocked to see（61）that he took out of a letter a million pound bank-note．
I asked Mr．Clemens whether it was genuine．Mr．Clemens said it was true（62）because/since/astwo notes of this amount（63）had been issued（issue） by the Bank of England this year．He thought（64）what  the gentleman showed them couldn't be a fake．Why a gentleman with a million pound note was in（65）rags（rag）and ate in our small restaurant was a big puzzle to all the people there．I really couldn't describe how excited I was．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述一位衣衫襤褸的人走進(jìn)一家餐館，在非常有限的時(shí)間里完成了兩份食物．當(dāng)人們懷疑這個(gè)人是否付得起食物的錢時(shí)，他拿出一張百萬(wàn)英鎊的鈔票．Clemens先生說(shuō)這個(gè)面額的兩張鈔票是今年英國(guó)銀行發(fā)行的，這一張不可能是假的．

解答 56．a(chǎn)n 考查冠詞．thing是可數(shù)名詞，單數(shù)形式前加不定冠詞a表示泛指，因unbelievable讀音以發(fā)元音開(kāi)頭，用不定冠詞an．
57．poorly-dressed  考查復(fù)合形容詞．使用副詞poorly修飾dressed，形成一個(gè)復(fù)合的形容詞短語(yǔ)poorly-dressed修飾名詞gentleman．
58．in 考查介詞．根據(jù)句意：在非常有限的時(shí)間里完成了兩份食物．用介詞in．
59．whether/if  考查連詞．根據(jù)句意：我們懷疑這個(gè)人是否付得起食物的錢．用連詞whether/if．
60．waiting 考查動(dòng)名詞．mind后接動(dòng)詞時(shí)用動(dòng)名詞形式．
61．that 考查連詞．see后接的賓語(yǔ)從句是完整的，用連接詞that．
62．because/since/as 考查連詞．根據(jù)句意：因?yàn)檫@個(gè)面額的兩張鈔票是今年英國(guó)銀行發(fā)行的．用連詞because/since/as．
63．had been issued 考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)．issue發(fā)生在said之前，即"過(guò)去的過(guò)去"，用過(guò)去完成時(shí)．
64．what 考查連詞．show后接雙賓語(yǔ)，即show sb．sth．，用what作其賓語(yǔ)，同時(shí)引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句．
65．rags 考查固定搭配．in rags意為"衣衫襤褸"，是固定搭配．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在一篇200詞左右的語(yǔ)篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫(xiě)空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫(xiě)詞語(yǔ)不得多于3個(gè)單詞．要做好語(yǔ)法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實(shí)的詞匯、句型和語(yǔ)法知識(shí)是基礎(chǔ)，英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的背景知識(shí)是必要的補(bǔ)充．考生須靈活運(yùn)用語(yǔ)法知識(shí)，如單詞詞性、單詞時(shí)態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫(xiě)的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對(duì)所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語(yǔ)境．
