Question

9．It was a dreadfully cold and cloudy afternoon．I was on the bus with my children，aged four and two，heading home when it started to rain．I realized this would mean a wet walk home（16）fromthe bus stop．（17）Although/Though/Whilemy house was merely two blocks away，it was not a pleasant walk with one small boy asleep in the pram （手推嬰兒車），the other one in a raincoat and no umbrella for myself．A pick-up truck passed us on the road．I tried to thumb a ride but failed．My little boy woke up with a start and began to cry．I（18）was convinced（convince） that thins might become worse and nobody would bother to help on such a terrible day．
A few minutes later（19）another，truck drove by，but to my surprise，I saw it（20）pulling（pull） back and the driver looking directly at us．
A young man put the window down．"Hey，here's an umbrella for you，please take（21）it．"He called out．
I stood there（22）astonished （astonish），barely believing that the man（23）whose existence was unknown to me only moments ago，could be so（24）considerate（consider）．"Come on，give this to your mummy，"he said to my older son．I accepted the offer and expressed my gratitude to him．
This man might have needed the umbrella for himself later during the day but preferred to give it to me．It was a lesson to me（25）thatit's possible to give without expecting anything in return．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述作者帶著兩個小孩雨天從公共汽車站步行回家得到別人幫助的故事．一輛卡車上的年輕男子將自己的雨傘讓給作者，雖然他們互不相識，雖然他自己可能也需要雨傘．由此，作者感慨，還是有人愿意幫助別人而不期待回報．

解答 16．from 17．Although/Though/While 18，was convinced 19．another
20．pulling  21．it  22．astonished  23．whose  24．considerate 25．that
16．from 考查介詞．根據上句"I was on the bus with my children"，可知作者是帶著孩子坐公交車回家，因此，此處應該是表示"從"車站走回家．
17．Although/Though/While 考查連詞．車站距家僅兩個街區(qū)，但帶著一個4歲一個2歲的小孩、沒有雨傘的雨中步行，不是一件愉快的事情．"距離不遠"與"不會愉快"之間是讓步關系．故本題填though或although或while．
18，was convinced 考查過去分詞．主語I后缺少謂語動詞，be convinced意為"相信"，又由于全文都是過去時態(tài)，故填was convinced．
19．another 考查代詞．根據句意：又一輛卡車經過，使我驚訝的是這輛卡車又倒回來，司機直接看著我們．可知，填another．
20．pulling  考查現在分詞．see sb．doing sth．后面的looking提示此處填pulling，且pulling與looking并列，現在分詞作賓語補足語． 
21．it  考查代詞．根據here's an umbrella for you，please take it．這里有把傘給你，拿去吧．it指代前一句提到的雨傘．
22．astonished  考查過去分詞．過去分詞作形容詞充當主語補足語．
23．whose 考查定語從句．分析句子結構可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞man指人，在從句中作定語，用關系代詞whose．
24．considerate 考查形容詞．由be動詞可知此處填形容詞作表語，considerate意為"體貼的"．
25．that 考查強調句．英語強調句結構：It be+被強調部分+that/who+其他．被強調部分為a lesson，故填that．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或對話）中留出10處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據上下文填寫空白處所需的內容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復數、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應填寫的內容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
