Answer

1. on At

2.He is strict with his/the students.

3. takes pride in

4.他经常告诉他们如何做一个诚实的人。

5.No, there isn't.

【解析】

Smith先生是一个老师，他希望他的学生不仅在学习上很成功，还希望他们能够诚实。短文中讲述了Smith先生在教一年级的学生时发生的一件事，通过这件事Smith先生告诉了他们要诚实。

1.

根据句意“He works hard”以及空后time可知，Smith先生工作很努力，总是按时去上班。这里考查的是固定短语on time，意为“按时，准时”。故第一个空答案为on。根据空后的the end of the class和句意可知，这里表示“在下课的时候”，考查固定短语at the end of…“在……的最后”，故第二个空答案为At。

2.

根据句意可知，这句话可以用短语be strict with sb.，意为“对某人要求严格”。主语为He；通读第一段可知，这一段使用的是一般现在时态，故be动词用is；with后的宾语可以用his students或the students。故答案为He is strict with his/the students.

3.

根据原句句意可知，句中is proud of…意为“为……感到骄傲”，是系表结构的短语。由同义句的结构可知，这几个空是句子的谓语动词，因此这里考查的是短语take pride in…。原句是一般现在时态，在同义句中时态不变；且主语the old man是第三人称单数，因此动词take的词尾加s，变为三单形式。故答案为takes pride in。

4.

这句话的主语He意为“他”；often是副词，“经常”；told是谓语动词，意为“告诉”，后跟双宾语，间接宾语them“他们”；直接宾语是疑问词how后跟动词不定式“做一个诚实的人”。故答案为：他经常告诉他们如何做一个诚实的人。

5.

根据短文的最后“He shook his head and said, "Open your workbooks and see whether there's exercise 8 in Unit 1 or not." The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.”可知，Smith先生让学生们打开练习册看看第一单元有没有练习八。学生们看了之后脸都红了。由此可猜测，第一单元根本没有练习八，那些学生因为自己撒谎而脸红了。故答案为No, there isn’t.
