Question

【题目】In order to understand the role and function of belief in our society, one way is to compare the 【1】 (different) between a society with belief and a society without it. And through this process of comparison, it might be easier for us to understand 【2】 important belief really is.

Without belief, we do not know what we are fighting 【3】. This is the fundamental difference between someone who has 【4】 belief system and someone who does not. A parent who is working so hard for the benefits and financial security of the children tend to give more and complain 【5】. A man or a woman in love, who is trying to maintain or change their situation in the belief that they could one day be with their beloved ones, would not even feel the burden of work. A student, who 【6】 (strong) believes that a brighter future is available, would not mind a few extra hours to be better academically. And a public servant, who makes the interest of the general public as priority, would not mind 【7】 (burn) some late night oil so that the required work could 【8】(finish) in high quality. For all the examples mentioned above, we can easily imagine how the situation would change dramatically when they do not have the belief system of their own.

It’s a given fact 【9】 life is hard but whatever difficulties occur, those 【10】 belief is stronger are more likely to overcome them successfully.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】differences

【2】how

【3】for

【4】a

【5】less

【6】strongly

【7】burning

【8】be finished

【9】that

【10】whose

【解析】为了理解信仰在我们社会中的地位和作用是多么地重要，作者对比了有信仰社会和没有信仰的社会之间的差异。从中得出的结论是：生活是艰难的，但无论遇到什么困难，信念更强的人更有可能成功地克服困难。

【1】differences

考查名词。句意：为了理解信仰在我们社会中的地位和作用，方法之一就是比较有信仰的社会和没有信仰的社会之间的差异。前面有定冠词the，可判断此空要用different的名词形式，即用difference。因不同点不只一个，故用复数。

【2】how

考查副词。句意：通过这个比较的过程，我们可能更容易理解信仰是多么重要。修饰形容词important要用一个副词，这里表示“多么”要用how。

【3】for

考查介词。句意：没有信念，我们不知道我们在为什么而战。fight for…为固定搭配，意为“为……而战”，故填for。

【4】a

考查冠词。句意：这是一个有信仰体系的人和没有信仰的人之间的根本区别。表示数量“一”，用不定冠词a。

【5】less

考查副词。句意：为了孩子们的利益和经济保障而努力工作的父母往往会多付出少抱怨。根据常识可知是多付出而少抱怨，因此填less。

【6】strongly

考查副词。修饰动词要用副词形式，故填strongly。

【7】burning

考查固定搭配。一个以公众利益为优先考虑的公仆，不会介意熬夜工作的。mind doing sth.介意做某事，故填burning。

【8】be finished

考查谓语动词的被动语态。句意：以公众的利益为优先的一个公务员，不介意熬夜工作以便能高质量的完成所需工作。工作是被完成的，故要用被动语态。故用be finished。

【9】that

考查同位语从句。句意：这是一个确定无疑的事实…。本句中the fact是同位语中一个名词，与下文的句子the life is hard…是同位语关系。后面的同位语是对the fact的解释说明，因此填that。

【10】whose

考查定语从句关系词。…those ____10____ belief is stronger are more likely to overcome them successfully.本句中，those是先行词，在从句中作 belief 的定语，表示人的/物的都要用whose。句意：这是一个既定事实：生活是艰难的，但无论遇到什么困难，那些信念更强的人都更有可能成功地克服困难。因此要whose。
