Answer 1

分析 這篇短文告訴我們世界是由小事改變的，并重點介紹了在詹姆斯中學由英語老師莫瑞發(fā)起的一個隨意善舉周活動，鼓勵孩子們從小多做善事，并且取得了良好的效果．

解答 78：small 考查形容詞用法．根據后一句描述But students at James Middle School know that such small acts make the world a better place，可知此處指的是，這些好心好像很微不足道，但是像這樣小的舉動能讓世界更美好，前后呼應．故填形容詞small，小的，作表語．
79：from 考查介詞用法．根據語境可知此處指的是這個活動從三月三十一日到四月四日．應用介詞固定搭配from…to…，從…到…．故填介詞from．
80：changed 考查過去分詞用法．結合語境并根據關鍵詞by，可知本句主語是動作對象，是動作的承受者，故用被動語態(tài)；聯系后句Murray also…great changes in her class可知所填詞的句子的意思為被一些小事改變，與這一句子里的changes相呼應．所以應用動詞change，因為此句為一般現在時，故要用一般現在時的被動語態(tài)，其構成是am/is/are+動詞的過去分詞．故填過去分詞changed，改變．
81：found/saw/discovered 考查動詞用法．根據語境可知莫瑞也在她的班里面發(fā)現了變化．本句描述的是過去發(fā)生的動作，故用一般過去時態(tài)．故填過去式動詞found/saw/discovered，發(fā)現．
82：students 考查名詞用法．根據下文before they leave the classroom．Now，the students do those things 的描述，可知此處指的是她要求學生們擺放椅子和關閉電燈．結合語境可知填復數名詞students，學生們．
83：themselves 考查反身代詞用法．根據固定短語by oneself靠自己，本句中反身代詞指代的是前文提到的學生們，故填反身代詞themselves，他們自己．
84：another 考查不定代詞用法．根據前兩句描述．"The teachers have a lot of work，"Said Jordon，one of Murray's students．He learned to care more about others．Eliza，可知此處指的是另一個學生伊萊扎，故填不定代詞another，多個中的另一個．
85：however考查副詞用法．根據前一句描述Hailey decides to continue to do at least one act of kindness every week和后面的句子…busy she is前后形成了對比的關系，可以推測出這里的意思是說不管她多么忙，Hailey都決定繼續(xù)每周至少做一次善舉，強調她做善事的決心．故填副詞however，如論如何，不管怎樣．

點評 此篇為記敘文的短文填空題．要求根據短文內容，在短文的空格處填上一個恰當的詞，使短文完整．這種題型全方位考查學生的綜合運用語言的能力．包括時態(tài)，語態(tài)，名詞的單復數，固定搭配，代詞，副詞，形容詞的用法等．做題時一定要結合前后語境，利用前后句的關系判斷出所要填的單詞，并在此基礎上根據句子的需要確定各種變化形式．切忌盲目作答，每填出一個空都要有依據．做完后根據所填答案再讀一遍短文，檢查一下前后語義是否連貫，是否符合前后語境，形式上有沒有問題等，從而校正答案．
