Question

【题目】语法填空
One day Mary was busy working in her office in London she received an E-mail from her friend Joan. In Joan's e-mail, she persuaded Mary ( look) for a flat in London for her. As she had (little) money at her command than before, the flat had to be cheap, but it had to be modern, with elevators and gas lines. It had to be in the (east) part of London, with petrol and subway stations nearby. Though Mary found it difficult to find such a flat, she still went (care) from one block(街区) to another, looking for a flat would meet（满足） Joan's requirements. Having tried too many times, Mary met her boss and politely asked him advice. It was the first time that she (talk) with his boss about her personal problems. It happened that the boss just had such a flat for rent, so they quickly reached agreement(协议). But to her surprise, when she e-mailed Joan, telling her the good news, Joan said that she had changed(she) mind—she was not returning to London.

Answer 1

【答案】when；to look；less；eastern；carefully；which /that；for；had talked；an；her
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Mary千辛万苦的帮助朋友Joan找到了房子，Joan却改变主意，不回伦敦了。
（1）考查连词。句意：一天，Mary正在她伦敦的办公室里忙工作，就在那时她收到了她朋友Joan的一封电子邮件。所以填when。
（2）考查固定句型。persuade sb. to do sth. 固定句型，"说服某人做某事”，所以填to look。
（3）考查比较级。根据than before，可知这里需要用比较级，所以填less。
（4）考查形容词。修饰名词part用形容词，所以填eastern。
（5）考查副词。修饰动词，用副词形式，所以填carefully。
（6）考查定语从句。这里含有一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填which /that。
（7）考查固定用法。ask sb. for advice固定用法，“向某人寻求建议”，所以填for。
（8）考查固定句型。This / That/ It is/ was＋the＋序数词＋名词＋从句(从句中的时态要用完成时态；如前为is，则用现在完成时，如为was则用过去完成时)，所以填had talked。
（9）考查冠词。泛指“一个协议”，所以用不定冠词，且agreement的首字母发音是元音，所以填an。
（10）考查固定用法。change one's mind固定用法，“改变某人的主意”，所以填her。
