Question

【題目】用所給詞的正確形式填空

Do you know what a resolution is? It’ a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are 【1】 (resolution), and the 【2】 (common) kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the 【3】 (begin) of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our 【4】 (life). Some people write down 【5】 (they) resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. 【6】 (other) tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.

There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going 【7】 (start) an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about 【8】 (make) yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or 【9】 (learn) to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.

Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult 【10】 (keep). Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you—will you make any next year?

【解析】

試題分析：短文大意：你知道一項(xiàng)決定是什么嗎?這是一種承諾。大多數(shù)時(shí)候, 我們對(duì)別人做出承諾。然而，對(duì)你自己做出的承諾是決心。接下來作者對(duì)各種各樣的決心，進(jìn)行了小小的總結(jié)，最后得出結(jié)論是沒有決心是最好的決心。

【1】句意：然而，承諾你對(duì)自己做出的決定。根據(jù)前面的are 可知該填寫復(fù)數(shù)形式resolutions。

【2】句意：最常見的類型是新年的決心。根據(jù)語境可知該填寫形容詞的最高級(jí)形式most common。

【3】句意：當(dāng)我們?cè)谀瓿踝鰶Q議時(shí)，我們希望我們要改善我們的生活。所填詞前有定冠詞后有介詞短語限定，所以填寫動(dòng)名詞形式beginning。

【4】句意：當(dāng)我們在年初做決議時(shí)，我們希望我們要改善我們的生活。根據(jù)修飾語our 可知該填寫復(fù)數(shù)名詞lives。

【5】句意：有些人寫下他們的決議和未來一年的計(jì)劃。所填詞在句中修飾名詞作定語，所以填寫形容詞性物主代詞their。

【6】句意：其他人把他們的愿望和計(jì)劃告訴他們的家人和朋友。所填詞在句中作主語，所以填寫名詞形式Others。

【7】句意：一些人承諾自己要開始鍛煉計(jì)劃或少吃快餐。Be going to do sth打算做某事，所以填寫動(dòng)詞不定式to start。

【8】句意：這些都是讓你自己成為一個(gè)更好的人。making

【9】句意：有些人可能會(huì)說他們要開始一個(gè)愛好像繪畫或拍照，或者學(xué)習(xí)彈吉他。聯(lián)系并列成分taking photos 可知該填寫learning 。

【10】句意：有時(shí)，決議可能難以保持。Too…to太……而不能，所以填寫to keep。
