语法填空

I have even wondered if money buys happiness. It seems that money will allow me to buy the things1.make me happy. But one day I sat down and made a list of the things I wanted2.(do) in my life. I realized I’d never put much thought into it. I’d written down these things —like taking a photo on the mountain and staying at a hotel in Dubai, but I didn’t really plan to do it, 3. (simple) because I didn't have the time.

My life consisted 4. heading to the office, running on the road, working some more …It didn’t matter if my salary doubled; the life would stay 5.same. Sure I’d probably drive a 6. (nice) car, move into a bigger place, and have a bigger TV than my friends, but that wasn't helping me realize any of my goals.. Six months after7. (create) that list, my belief has changed. I’d keep working on my list, for 8. (experience) were much more important than any of the material items. It’s not hard to create opportunity for 9. (you). All it 10. (take) is a little creative thinking.

【解析】

本文作者通过自己的故事说明了这样一个道理：经历比物质的东西更重要。

1.考查定语从句。____1____make me happy. 是一个定语从句，修饰先行词the things，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填that/which。

2.考查固定用法。want to do sth. 想要做某事，是固定用法，所以填to do。

3.考查副词。位于句首，修饰整个句子，用副词，所以填simply。

4.考查固定短语。我的生活是由朝办公室走、在路上跑步和做更多的工作组成。consist of由……组成，所以填of。

5.考查固定短语。生活仍然保持相同。the same同样地，是固定短语，所以填the。

6.考查比较级。由move into a bigger place, and have a bigger TV than my friends,可知这里应该用比较级，所以填nicer。

7.考查v+ing形式。介词after之后，用v+ing形式，所以填creating。

8.考查名词单复数。由were判断出来主语是复数，所以填experiences。

9.考查反身代词。为你自己创造机会并不困难。表示“你自己”，所以填yourself。

10.考查主谓一致。在一般现在时中，主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词也要使用单数形式，所以填takes。
