Question

【題目】Change is much easier when you have many supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since it is often the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that【1】(push) us out of our comfort zone to take care of ourselves, it can mean【2】(force) to start to be independent, which for many of us is the scariest part of all.

Probably the most difficult thing about seeking significant change is doing it【3】you don’t have financial or emotional tools available to make the process go【4】(smooth). But sometimes reaching our full potential means working without【5】safety net. For those truly【6】(devote) to their mission, having fewer resources can be a surprising blessing as it forces them to get【7】(create)and explore new paths.

I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world【8】zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings, we often realize it too late to avoid certain painful【9】(outcome).

Please keep in mind that the choice belongs to each of us. We all have the power to change and give more intentional【10】(direct) to the remainder of our lives.

【解析】本文是一篇說明文。選擇權(quán)就在我們手中,我們都有能力去改變。

【1】考查動詞時態(tài)和主謂一致。本文的基本時態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時,此處亦用一般現(xiàn)在時。本句是 強調(diào)句,強調(diào)的是or連接的并列主語,故謂語動詞應與or之后的some other life tragedy保持一致,應用第三人稱單數(shù)。故填pushes。

【2】考查非謂語動詞。這可能意味著我們被逼開始變得獨立。根據(jù)句意可知,mean在此表 示"意味著",其后應接名詞、動名詞或代詞作賓語;又因force與其邏輯主語之間是動賓關(guān)系,故 此處應填being forced。

【3】考查狀語從句。當你在沒有可用的經(jīng)濟或情感工具以使過程順利的情況下去尋找改變時,這可能是關(guān)于尋求重大變化最困難的事情。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,空處在此引導狀語從句,且在從句中作時間狀語,故填when。

【4】考查副詞。修飾動詞go應用smooth的副詞形式。

【5】考查冠詞。但有時,充分發(fā)揮我們的潛能意味著我們要在沒有完全網(wǎng)的情況下來付諸努力。net"網(wǎng)"是可數(shù)名詞,此處表泛指,故應用不定冠詞a。

【6】考查非謂語動詞。對那些真正致力于他們的任務的人來說,有更少的資源可能會是一件出 人意料的好事。devote與those是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系,所以用過去分詞。be devoted to...是固定短語,表示"投身于……,致力于……"。

【7】考查形容詞。因為它能迫使他們變得富有創(chuàng)造力并探索新的道路。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,get 在句中為系動詞,意為"變得",故此處應用形容詞creative作表語。此處考生易錯填creation。謂語動詞get后的確可以用名詞作賓語,但是如果填了creation,此處的語義就解釋不通了。

【8】考查介詞。我不知道我們是否有可能毫無遺憾地離開這個世界。with表示"帶有",符合語境。

【9】考查名詞單復數(shù)。我們總是太晚意識到這而不能避免某些令人痛苦的結(jié)果。根據(jù)outcome 作"結(jié)果"講時是可數(shù)名詞以及空前無限定詞修飾可知,此處應填outcomes。

【10】考查名詞。根據(jù)空前的"intentional"可知此處填direct的名詞形式direction。
