My Stay in New York
After graduation from university, I had been unable to secure a permanent job in my small town. So I decided to leave home for New York,I might have a better chance to find a good job. (earn) some money to pay the daily expenses, I started work in a local café as a waiter. I believe that30． I was offered a good position, I would resign at once.
Over time, the high cost of living became a little burden on my already (exhaust) shoulder. On the other hand, my search for a respectable job had not met with much success. As I had studied literature at university, I found it quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies. Mother had just said that I want to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhaps my mother had told me was deeply rooted in my mind. I just did as she had expected.
Soon I had lived in the city for over six months but I still did not like it. Apparently, I had difficulty (adapt) myself to life in the city, let alone finding a job to my delight. After nine months of frustration, I eventually decided to go back to my small town. Not until I returned I realize that a quiet town life was the best for me.

Answer 1

【答案】where；To earn；as soon as/ as long as；exhausted；if；what；adapting；did
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍作者大学毕业后为了有机会找到更好的工作。到了纽约，临时在一个咖啡店做服务员，但是一直都没有再找到适合的工作，生活的压力使他疲惫，最终回到原来的小镇，发现这才是最适合自己的。
（1）考查定语从句。句意：我决定到纽约，在那里我可能会有机会找到更好的工作。这里使用定语从句，先行词是New York,定语从句中缺少地点状语，用where 引导定语从句。
（2）考查非谓语动词。为了挣钱付日常开销，我开始在当地咖啡店做服务员。这里用不定式做目的状语，填To earn。
（3）考查连词。句意：我相信只要我被提供一个好的职位，我就立刻辞职。“as soon as/ as long as”“只要，一旦”。
（4）考查形容词。句意：过了一段时间，高生活成本在我已经疲惫的肩膀成了一个负担。exhausted形容词，“疲惫的”作定语，故填exhausted。
（5）考查连词。句意：妈妈说过，如果我想有个更好的事业的进步，我就得到城市里面找工作。if ”如果“，引导条件状语从句。
（6）考查主语从句。句意：妈妈说的话深深的扎根到我的思想中了。what引导的是主语从句。 故填what。
（7）考查动名词。句：很显然我适应城市的生活有困难。have difficulty in doing sth，固定句型，”做......有困难“，所以填动名词adapting。
（8）考查倒装句。句意：直到我回来我才发现安静的小镇生活对我才是最好的。Not until放在句首，后面的主句要倒装。用助动词did提到主语前面。
