答案及解析
温故知新·基础填空
温故——课前知识链接
答案:a;Luckily;getting;to do;strength/strengths;based;be applied;on/upon;is;that
解析:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是给那些面对抱负和未来社会角色重大决定的大学生一些可行性建议。
①考查冠词。句意:这可能意味着你要选择能让你有一个充实的职业生涯,也可能意味着你要决定什么样的工作适合你。用不定冠词修饰名词career表一个充实的职业的课程,fulfilling首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
②考查副词。句意:幸运的是,你并不局限于在学术和工作之间做出选择。放于句首单独使用时用副词形式,修饰整个句子,且首字母大写。故填Luckily。
③考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能会决定参加一个职业课程,例如获得一个商业资格证书。本句话中decide是谓语动词,故本空填非谓语动词形式,get和主语you之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词getting。故填getting。
④考查非谓语动词。句意:或者你也可以考虑做学徒,为一个会训练你做某项具体工作的雇主工作。train sb. to do sth."培训某人做某事"。故填to do。
⑤考查名词。句意:在做决定的时候,不要忘记把你的心放在你的优势上。your的后面用名词形式作宾语,strong的名词是strength"优势",同时是可数名词,此处既可以表示一个优势,用单数,也可以表示多个优势,用复数形式。故填strength/strengths。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意:根据你在评估中取得的成功,你可以了解自己在什么学术领域更强大。be based on意为"基于……"。本句话中get是谓语动词,故本空用非谓语动词based作状语。故填based。
⑦考查语态。句意:再深入一点,找出你过去的成功包括哪些性格特征和技能,以及哪些可以应用到其他领域。根据句意可知which指的是which personality traits and skills,和apply"应用"之间是被动关系,根据情态动词can可知,此处用be applied。故填be applied。
⑧考查介词。句意:在线性格测试试图将你与特定的工作相匹配,可以帮助你专注于自己的兴趣。focus on/upon"集中在……上"是固定短语,故本空填介词on/upon。故填on/upon。
⑨考查主谓一致。句意:咨询父母和其他人以及收集不同选择的信息也很重要。句子描述一般性事实,用一般现在时,本句是动名词形式作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填is。故填is。
⑩考查连接词。句意:虽然你有可能在以后的阶段改变你的想法,但毫无疑问,如果你早点做好,生活会更容易。There is no doubt that 意为"毫无疑问……",that从句为同位语从句。故填that。
