1.While / Though/ Although 2.Seated 3.could / should 4.was challenged 5.herself 6.how 7.being rejected 8.where 9.to find 10.in 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Susan克服恐惧,坚持自己梦想。坚持做自己最喜欢做的事。最后成功的故事。 1.考查连词。前面的句子讲述工作的待遇不错,后面的句子讲的是:她很快就厌烦了。显然前者是后面的一个“让步”,这里是一个让步状语从句。While / Although / Though都是“尽管、即使”的意思,引导一个让步状语从句。故填While / Although/ Though。 2.考查非谓语动词。分句部分无主语,故用非谓语动词做状语。seat的逻辑主语为后句的“she”,与seat表示主动关系。seat的非谓语常用seated的形式表示某种状态。故填seated。 3.考查情态动词。句意:因为她总是相信本能是一种她可以信任的优势。本题考查情态动词can表示能力的用法。又因为语境是过去时,故填could。 4.考查被动语态。句意:两个小时过的很顺利,但是之后她受到了一些新恐惧的挑战。She和challenge 之间是被动关系。这里句子的语境是过去时。且主语是第三人称单数,故填was challenged。 5.考查固定短语。句意:她意识到关于克服恐惧,她自己已经武装了多年了。固定短语 equip oneself(整装;预备自己)。故填herself。 6.考查宾语从句。介词后的从句称为“宾语从句”。若从句部分的第一个词为形容词(shifting:不断变化的),则可根据“肯定句”的解题方法解题:去掉主+谓,从句前部剩余部分还有名词就用what ; 若剩余部分没有名词就用how。故填how。 7.考查非谓语动词。分句部分没有主语,故填非谓语。reject的逻辑主语是she。主语与reject之间表示被动,因为放在after这个介词后,所以需要用being done的形式。故填being rejected。 8.考查定语从句。从句部分不缺主语(she)和不缺宾语(her much-rejected book proposal)。根据定语从句的要求:若从句主语和宾语不缺,则缺状语。从句部分缺状语应该用关系副词,且本题的先行词为drawer,表示地点。故填where。 9.考查非谓语动词。find所处的简单句中已经有动词set out, 所以提示词需填非谓语。根据句意,她带了很多的决心,目的是为了找一个出版商。此处可用 to do 表示目的。故填 to find。 10.考查固定短语。句意:她很开心的是,她坚持梦想并且从没有放弃克服阻碍她的恐惧。固定短语:stand in one’s way (阻碍)。故填in。
