37、ngs in life. Therefore, live 10_(you) life to the fullest and be happy. 【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文。 文章主要介绍了一位中央电视台记者通过询问人们是否 快乐,成功地在市民中引起了激烈的讨论,不同的人给出了不同的看法。在作者看来,幸福 不仅仅是追求财富,而是欣赏生活中美好的事物。 1asking 考查现在分词。句意:讨论的内容是问人们是否快乐。由于空格前面有介 词 about,故需要用现在分词,充当其宾语,而该介宾结构又是前面 is 的表语。故填 asking。 2various 考查形容词。句意:这个问题的答案是各异的。
38、此处要用形容词 various(各 种各样的)作表语。故填 various。 3before 考查连词。句意:虽然人们觉得答案很好笑,但没过多久,他们就开始弄 清楚了快乐的真正含义。考查固定句型 it did not take long before(没过多久就)。故填 before。 4are affected 考查时态和语态。句意:可以肯定的是,人们对快乐的看法很大程度 上受他们自己的生活经历影响。根据句意可知,主语“peoples views”和动词 affect 之间是被 动关系,要用被动语态 be done;而此处说的又是客观现实,所以用一般现在时态的被动语 态;主语是复数形式。故填
39、 are affected。 5a 考查冠词。句意:不幸的是,太多的人将富有视为快乐,而且没有迹象表明自愿 受财富支配的人数有所减少。此处抽象名词 decrease(下降)具体化,用作可数名词,加不定 冠词 a,构成短语“no sign of a decrease”,表示“没有一种下降的迹象”。故填 a。 6to make 考查不定式。此处不定式 to make 在定语从句“whose intention is _6_ (make) big money(人们的打算是去赚大钱)”中作表语,因为它在此处指的是主语 intention “打算,意图”,是指没有发生的事情,所以用不定式作表语表示未发生
40、的事情。故填 to make。 7where 考查连接副词。句意:相信这就是快乐之所在。分析句式可知,此处是表语 从句, 从句中 lie 是不及物动词, 并不缺宾语, 又表示“所在的地方”, 所以用连接副词 where 作状语。故填 where。 8are 考查主谓一致。句意:有些人渴望继承父母的财产,尤其是那些被认为是富二 代的人。所填词在从句中作谓语,根据句意是被动语态,又是讲客观现实,所以本句要用一 般现在时态的被动语态,因为关系代词 who 指代的是先行词 those(那些人),所以谓语要用 复数形式。故填 are。 9illegally 考查词性转化。句意:更糟糕的是,有些人宁愿违法以满足他们的经济欲 望或非法地寻求他们的财富。此处用副词 illegally(非法地)作状语,修饰谓语动词。故填 illegally。 10your 考查代词。“live your life to the fullest(充分享受你的生活)”,其中 life 是名 词。故填 your。
