20、含义同时又特指那些人, 故此处需要用 those。故填 those。 2. valuable。 考查形容词。此处需要用形容词 valuable(有价值的) 来修饰名词 cars(汽车)作定语。故填 valuable。 3. Actually。考查副词。句意: 事实上, 只要你全心投入进去, 幸 福就一直在你身边。通过句意可知, 此处需要用副词来修饰整句话。 故填 Actually。 4.a。考查冠词。句意: 你有困难时, 你的朋友会帮助你。固定搭配 lend sb. a hand 译为“帮助某人”。故填 a。 5. congratulations。考查名词复数。句意: 当你成功时, 你的朋友
21、会向你表示祝贺。根据空格前的 with 可知, 此处填入可数名词 congratulation(祝贺)作 with 的宾语。祝贺是多种多样的, 所以要 用可数名词的复数形式。故填 congratulations。 6. happiness。考查名词。句意: 环顾四周, 你会发现你被幸福包围 着。根据空格前的 with 可知此处填入名词 happiness(幸福)作宾语。 happiness 是不可数名词。故填 happiness。 7.to。考查固定搭配。句意: 幸福不一定与金钱有关。固定搭配 be related to 译为“与有关”。故填 to。 8. that。考查定语从句。句意: 当你
22、很穷的时候, 你也可以说你很 开心, 因为你有一些钱买不到的东西。根据空格前的不定代词 something 可知, 此处是定语从句。不定代词 something 作先行词, 在定语从句中作主语, 此时用关系代词 that 引导限制性定语从句, 而不能用 which。故填 that。 9. meeting。考查状语从句的省略。句意: 遇到困难时, 你可以大声 说你很高兴, 因为你有更多的机会挑战自己。 在状语从句中, 如果从 句的主语和主句相同, 且从句谓语中包含 be 动词时, 则可省略从句 主语和 be 动词。 主语 you 和谓语动词 meet 是主动关系, 所以完整的 状语从句为 Whe
23、n you are meeting with difficulties, 省去主语 和 be 动词后为 When meeting with difficulties。故填 meeting。 10. to challenge。考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词为 have 所以 challenge要以非谓语的形式出现。 据此可知, 此处表达的含义是 “挑 战自己的机会”, chance 后常用不定式作定语。故填 to challenge。 4.书面表达 Dear Michael, How is everything going?Our school is going to hold an Engli
