Ⅲ.语法填空
(2014·沈阳市二模)
Daisy:Do you have somewhere to stay in London, Peter?
Peter:No, I don't. In fact, I was about to ask you __1__ you could arrange some place for me to stay.
Daisy:Yes, that's no problem though I am not in charge of it. I'll ask someone to arrange __2__for you. What kind of place are you considering?
Peter:Well, I don't care if I share it __3__ other people, but I'm not good at housework. Maybe a home stay would be OK, __4__ I don't like young children. As you know, they're __5__(noise) and it's difficult to study. Hopefully, I can live with a lady __6__ has retired.
Daisy:OK, that's no problem. But I must warn you that __7__(live) with a family in London is very expensive. Much more expensive than other small cities.
Peter:That's not a big problem, for I have some money __8__(save). Besides, I can always get __9__ parttime job. I am working in a supermarket as a cashier now. So I don't think I will have trouble with money.
Daisy:Sounds good. I __10__ call you if I get some information about that.
Peter:OK, that's great. Thank you very much.
文章大意:本文是一段对话,主要是关于刚刚来到London的Peter请求Daisy为他安排住处的一个短文对话。
答案:
1.if/whether 考查连词。分析句子结构可知,空格后是宾语从句。根据句意可知,此处是Peter问是否能为自己安排一个住的地方。在宾语从句中连词表示“是否”的意思,只能够填if或whether。
2.it/that 考查代词。句意为:我会让人为你安排那件事。此处指代前文提到的住的地方,因此填代词it或that。
3.with 考查介词。固定搭配share sth.with sb.意为“与某人分享某物”,由此可知,此处填介词with。
4.but 考查连词。根据语境可知,空格后句子与其前的句子之间是转折关系,因此空格处应填连词but。
5.noisy 考查形容词。根据空格前的系动词“be”可知,此空应该用所给提示词的形容词形式作表语,因此此空填noisy。
6.who/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此句是一个定语从句,并且从句中缺主语,而先行词又是人,因此应用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
7.living/to live 考查非谓语动词。由于题干中宾语从句的谓语动词是“is”,因此空格处应该是作从句的主语,此处应该用提示词的动名词或不定式作宾语从句的主语,故空格处应填living/to live。
8.saved 考查非谓语动词。句意为:那不是大问题,因为我已攒了一些钱。have sth.done意为“让某事被做,使某事被做”,符合语境,因此,此空应填过去分词saved。
9.a 考查冠词。句意为:此外,我总能找到一份兼职工作。此处表示泛指,因此填不定冠词a。
10.will 考查动词的时态。根据语境可知,如果有消息了,“我”会给你打电话。在if引导的条件状语从句中,从句用一般现在时表将来,主句用一般将来时。故此处填will call。
