Three days before Thanksgiving, the former and
future President of the United States is sitting
in 1 sun-filled dining room of his Florida home
and private club. In the lavish reception area, more than a
oceanfront estate from a 2,000-song playlist 4 he organizes: Sinéad
O' Connor's Nothing Compares 2U,《无与伦比》 ABBA's The Winner Takes It All
《赢者通吃》, and James Brown's It's a Man's Man's Man's World.《男人的世界》, etc.
For 97 years, the editors of TIME 5 (pick) the Person of the Year:the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months. In many years, that choice is a difficult one. In 2024, however, it was not.
Since he began running for President in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a 6 (large) role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump. He shocked many by 7 (win) the White House in 2016, and then led the U.

1. the/a, 本句中的 room是介词 in的宾语, room受 of his Florida home and privateclub 修饰, 故空格处填 the(唯一) 或a(不唯一) 。
2. to appear,考查非谓语动词做宾补。因为本句的谓语动词是 wait,习惯用法是 wait for sb. to do…,故填提示词相应的不定式形式。
3. and,本句介绍了四位被任命的政府官员选,最后两者之间加并列连词 and。
4. that/ which, 阅读可知, 空格处起是修饰先行词 playlist (列表) 的定语从句, 从句缺宾语, 故填 that/ which (可省略) 。
5. have been picking,注意句首的时间状语。这里使用了现在完成进行时,意为这个挑选的活动还要持续下去。用现在完成时 have picked也行,但效果欠佳。
6. larger,注意本句空格后的比较连词 than ,由此不难看出空格处填提示词的比较级形式。这句虽然是比较级,但表达的是最高级的意义,特点是,前有否定形容词 no也 larger than 呼应,表示“每人比他起更大的作用=他起最大作用”。
7. winning,在介词by后,提示词一定要变为动名词形式来做宾语。注意双写字母n。
8. included,本句已出现谓语动词 led,故空格处是非谓语形式,作宾语补足语。鉴于相关名词 year和 period 与提示词之间存在着被动关系,故填提示词对应的过去分词形式。
9. by,阅读可知, losing the election后边有数量词, 显然要表达“选票差距” , 故填介词 by (差…) 。
10. his, 阅读可知, 空格处的成分与 uttermost 并列, 一同修饰名词 success,即作前置定语,相当于 If从句中的 Trump's。故填提示词相应的形容词性物主代词。
