Answer 1

【答案】

【1】it

【2】to please

【3】a

【4】pushed

【5】where

【6】choice

【7】on

【8】him

【9】at

【10】was informed

【解析】

【1】it 考查形式主語。在英語中只有it可以充當(dāng)形式主語。本句中it是形式主語，真正的主語是不定式to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.句意：她還記得給父親買一個合適的生日禮物是多么的困難。

【2】to please 考查不定式用法。當(dāng)前面的形容詞是表示主語性格特征的形容詞的時候，后面需要使用不定式的主動形式表示被動含義。句意：她多么希望父親和母親一樣容易取悅，媽媽總是對松的香水很高興。

【3】a 考查冠詞。當(dāng)名詞experience表示“經(jīng)歷”的時候，這是一個可數(shù)名詞，當(dāng)experience表示“經(jīng)驗”的時候，這是一個不可數(shù)名詞。句意：而且，在一年中這個時候去購物也不是一個令人愉快的經(jīng)歷。本句中名詞experience表示“經(jīng)歷”，前面使用不定冠詞a進(jìn)行修飾，表示泛指。

【4】pushed 考查時態(tài)。本句中連用了并列連詞or，說明前后都要使用同樣的時態(tài)，所以使用pushed和stepped是并列的謂語動詞。句意：人們踩到你的腳或者用他們的肘部推著你，擠到前面去買到便宜貨。

【5】where 考查定語從句。本題定語從句的先行詞是a counter，后面句子結(jié)構(gòu)很完整，所以使用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)。句意：Jane在一個展覽很多吸引力的柜臺面前停了下來。

【6】choice 考查名詞。形容詞性物主代詞后面通常要接名詞，本句中her的后面要接名詞choice在句中做主語。句意：Jane從過去的經(jīng)歷知道選擇領(lǐng)帶很難讓她的父親高興。

【7】on 考查固定搭配。短語on sale降價出售；句意：她發(fā)現(xiàn)一些質(zhì)量很好的煙斗正在降價出售。

【8】him 考查代詞。根據(jù)文章第二句She remembered how difficult ______ was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.可知她正在為父親購買圣誕禮物，使用本句中使用him充當(dāng)動詞please的賓語。句意：她知道這是一個一定能讓父親高興的禮物。

【9】at 考查介詞短語。短語at table在吃飯，at the table在桌邊（不一定吃飯）。句意：她的父母親已經(jīng)坐在桌邊吃晚飯了。

【10】was informed 考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：Jane被通知“你爸爸決定戒煙了。”根據(jù)句意可知使用被動語態(tài)，且本文敘述的是過去發(fā)生的事情。
