【題目】語法填空

I still remember the happiest moment of my life. I decided to hold a party for my Italian friends while living in Florence, Italy. My friends didn’t speak any English, and I vividly remember 【1】(try) to only speak Italian in【2】party. And then, someone asked me to tell a joke.

I don’t know if you know this, 【3】telling jokes in 【4】language is one of the most painful experiences you can imagine.

I began the joke. "C’era una volta (Once upon a time)"

Halfway through the joke, I began to get nervous, so I suddenly forgot the Italian word. And 30 Italians were staring at me,【5】 for the joke to end. At the last minute, I remembered and completed the joke. I waited for the sound of crickets ... But instead I experienced a【6】(thunder) laugh and a round of applause. I had made dozens of Italians laugh, in their country, in their language.

【7】today, that memory continues to be one of the 【8】(happy) moments I’ve ever experienced. And it’s the reason 【9】, over the last four years, I【10】(study) languages and now I can speak five: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】trying

【2】the

【3】but

【4】another

【5】waiting

【6】thunderous

【7】Until

【8】happiest

【9】why

【10】have

【解析】

【1】考查非謂語動詞。remember doing sth.的意思是"記得做過某事"。這里表示作者回憶自己的往事。

【2】考查定冠詞。這里的party特指作者為意大利朋友舉辦的派對,故用定冠詞the。

【3】考查連詞。but在這里用于改變話題,此處表示"我不知道你是否了解,但用另外一種語言講笑話是你能想象出的最痛苦的經(jīng)歷之一"。

【4】考查代詞。由第一段的第三句可知,作者的母語是英語,此時卻要用意大利語講笑話,并結(jié)合語境可知,此處應用another"另一"。

【5】考查非謂語動詞。wait for表示"等待",Italians與wait for之間存在主謂關(guān)系,所以此處用現(xiàn)在分詞,表伴隨。

【6】考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。這里用形容詞thunderous修飾名詞laugh,thunderous意思是"雷鳴般的"。

【7】考查介詞。由后面的continues可知,這個經(jīng)歷對于作者的影響持續(xù)到今天。until today意為"直到今天"。

【8】考查形容詞的最高級。根據(jù)后面表示范圍的定語從句"I’ve ever experienced"可知空格處應用happy的最高級。另外,空格前的the也暗示此處應用形容詞的最高級。

【9】考查關(guān)系副詞。先行詞是the reason,關(guān)系詞在從句中充當原因狀語,故用why。

【10】been studying。 考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語"over the last four years"可知這里應用現(xiàn)在完成進行時。
