Question

7．When I was about ten years old，I remember my father coming into the room，looking terribly pleased with himself，to tell us that we were going to have（16）another brother or sister．It was really beyond our （17）expectation（expect），so we were both taken aback．I was actually delighted，（18）but my brother was quite different．He was younger than me，and I don't think he was too impressed with the idea．He has a tendency to worry （19）aboutthings，and I think he was terrified by the fact（20）that he might not be the center of attention all the time．
When the big day came，（21）unluckily（luck） there were problems，and my mother had to stay in hospital．My brother and I weren't allowed（22）to visit（visit），and we all were worried and had no idea（23）what to do．We tried to calm each other down，but basically we were so upset that something awful（24）would happen（happen）．It all worked out well in the end though，and when I was finally able to see my little sister，I was happy to see （25）shewas so tiny，and special．And we all love her to bits．

Answer 1

分析 作者在本文中講述了當(dāng)爸爸告訴他們將要再有一個(gè)弟弟或妹妹的時(shí)候，作者和弟弟都很吃驚，尤其是弟弟，他擔(dān)心他不再會(huì)是家庭成員注意的中心．這一天終于來(lái)了，媽媽不得不住院幾天，作者和弟弟都不能探望，他們擔(dān)心會(huì)有不好的事情發(fā)生，但是當(dāng)他見(jiàn)到小妹妹時(shí)，他是非常高興的．他們都很愛(ài)這個(gè)小妹妹．

解答 16．a(chǎn)nother；考查限定詞，結(jié)合上下文分析作者家里不止一個(gè)孩子，所以這里用another表示"又一個(gè)"．
17．expectation；考查名詞，空格前是形容詞性物主代詞，所以空格處要用名詞形式．      
18．but；考查連詞，分析句意，作者和弟弟對(duì)此持不同的觀點(diǎn)，所以用but表示轉(zhuǎn)折． 
19．a(chǎn)bout；考查介詞，worry about是固定短語(yǔ)，意為"擔(dān)心"．                 
20．that；考查同位語(yǔ)從句，分析句子，這應(yīng)該是一個(gè)同位語(yǔ)從句，所以用that引導(dǎo)．
21．unluckily；考查副詞，這里用副詞做狀語(yǔ)，根據(jù)后面的 there were problems，可知這里應(yīng)用否定意義的副詞 unluckily，意為"不幸的是"．  
22．to visit；考查動(dòng)詞不定式，allow sb to do sth是固定搭配，意為"允許某人做某事"．          
23．what；考查疑問(wèn)代詞，因?yàn)榭崭窈竺娴牟欢ㄊ饺鄙儋e語(yǔ)，所以用what作它的賓語(yǔ)．       
24．would happen；考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)，結(jié)合上下文判斷此處應(yīng)該用過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)，故答案為 would happen．
25．she；考查人稱代詞，根據(jù)前文的my little sister判定此處用she，作后面系動(dòng)詞was的主語(yǔ)．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先要通讀全文，了解大意，抓住上下文語(yǔ)境所提供的信息，仔細(xì)分析帶空格的句子，明確空格所要填的詞義，詞型和短語(yǔ)搭配給出所要填的正確形式，然后整體閱讀短文，核對(duì)答案．
