Answer 1

【答案】

【1】that\who

【2】us

【3】an

【4】importance

【5】breaking

【6】graduation

【7】to meet

【8】depressed

【9】rushed

【10】friends

【解析】

试题分析：每个人人都喜欢真诚的朋友，不喜欢食言的朋友。

【1】that\who friends是先行词，后面是定语从句，从句缺少主语，缺少引导词，故填that\who。

【2】us 句意：一旦我们食言，没有人在相信我们。故填us。

【3】an 句意：一个靠不住的工人。元音开头，故填an。

【4】importance 句意：准守诺言的重要性。此处用名词形式，故填importance。

【5】breaking 此处是现在分词作后置定语，故填breaking。

【6】graduation 句意：我们的毕业旅行。名词修饰名词，故填graduation。

【7】to meet 固定形式：ask sb to do sth.请求某人做某事，故填to meet。

【8】depressed 句意：我感到沮丧。故填depressed。

【9】rushed 句意：我直接冲到那里。根据句意可知用一般过去时态，故填rushed。

【10】friends 句意：我不需要不准守诺言的朋友。此处用复数形式，故填friends。

【知识拓展】

不定冠词a 和an的用法。a用在以元音开头的词前，表示“一”； an用在以辅音开头的词前，表示“一”。比如小题1，university 这个词以辅音开头，所以前面加a，表示一所大学。an important meeting 一个重要的会议；an interesting story 一个有趣的故事；an old man 一位老人；an hour 一小时；an honest boy 一个诚实的男孩；an American lawyer一个美国的律师； a useful tool 一个有用的工具；a European friend一位欧洲的朋友。
