4.During an 1899F4tornado (龙卷风) in Missouri,three people,Miss Moorehouse,Mrs.Webster,and her son were caught up in the storm.They (16)were carried (carry) nearly one mile,but were let down so gently (17)that none of the three was seriously injured.Here is Moorehouse's (18)description (describe)of her unbelievable flight.
‘‘I was conscious all the time when I was flying through the air,and (19)it seemed a long time.I seemed to be lifted up,(20)going (go) up to a great height.At one time I was far above the church towers,and seemed to be carried to a (21)distant (distance) place.As I was going through the air,I saw a horse,(22)which was a white one and had a harness (马具) on,floating about with me.By the way (23)the horse kicked and struggled as it was thrown about,I knew it was alive.I was afraid that it would knock into me,(24)but it did not.Finally,I was mercifully landed (25)on/upon the ground unharmed,saved by luck."

分析 本文写了在一次龙卷风的时候,被风卷起了三个人,后又平安落地.并且详细描述了在空中飞行的过程中的所见所想.

解答 16.were carried 考查被动语态,根据文章内容,这三个人是被龙卷风卷到空中行进了大约一里地,主语是"they",所以要用被动语态,故答案是were affected.
17.that 考查固定句型,根据句意"被放下的时候是如此的轻柔以至于我们三个人都没有受到严重的伤害",so+形容词/副词+that"如此…以至于…",这是英语的固定句型,所以答案是that.
18.description 考查名词,根据句意"Moorehouse对于她这次令人难以置信的飞行的描述",此处应该用名词形式,describe是动词"描述",description是名词"描述",所以答案是description.
19.it 考查代词,根据上下文的逻辑关系,seemed a long time好像很长的一段时间,指的应该是flying through the air,两句之间是并列关系,所以用it指代空中飞行这件事,故答案是it.
20.going 考查非谓语动词,主句"I seemed to be lifted up"主语为I,go up 的动作的逻辑主语也是I,而且"go up"这个动作与被"be lifted up"同时发生,所以用goingup 做伴随状语,故答案是going.
21.distant考查形容词,根据句意"好像是被带到了一个遥远的地方",在这里要用形容词修饰名词"place",distant是形容词"遥远的",故答案是distant.
22.which 考查定语从句,根据文中提供的信息,被修饰的先行词是horse,而且这是一个非限制性定语从句,所以关系代词选which,故答案是which.
23.the 考查冠词,文中句子"horse kicked and struggled as it was thrown about"这里的马就是指的在空中看到的那匹马,所以用定冠词the,故答案是the.
24.but 考查连词,根据句中逻辑关系,我一直担心那马会踢到我,但是它没有踢到,两句之间是转折关系,所以用连词but,故答案是but.
25.on/upon 考查介词,land on/upon也是英语中的固定搭配"着陆",根据文章中句意可知此处应用固定搭配"land on/upon",所以答案是on/upon.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析,逐题解答.扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键.

19.The next morning Alex was waiting in the FMA president's suite when Jerome Patterton arrived.Alex filled him in quickly on the Jax report.Then he said,"I want you to give an order to the trust department to sell every share of Supranational we're holding."
"I won't!"Patterton's voice rose."Who do you think you are,giving orders-----""I'll tell you who I am,Jerome.I'm the guy who warned the board against in-depth involvement with SuNatCo.I fought against heavy trust department buying of the stock,but no one-----including you-----would listen.Now Supranational is caving in."Alex leaned across the desk and slammed a fist down hard."Don't you understand?Supranational can bring this bank down with it."
 Patterton was shaken."But is SuNatCo in real trouble?Are you sure?"
"If I weren't,do you think I'd be here?I'm giving you a chance to salvage something at least."He pointed to his wristwatch."It's an hour since the New York  stock market opened.Jerome,get on the phone and give that order!"Muscles around the bank president's mouth twitched nervously.Never decisive,strong influence often swayed him.He hesitated,then picked up the telephone.
"Get me Mitchell in the trust department…Mitch?This is Jerome.Listen carefully.I want you to give a sell order immediately on all the Supranational stock we hold…Yes,sell every share."Patterton listened,then said impatiently,"Yes,I know what it'll do to the market.And I know it's irregular."His eyes sought Alex's for reassurance.The hand holding the telephone trembled as he said,"There's no time to hold meetings.So do it!Yes,I accept responsibility."
 He hung up and reached for a glass of water."The stock is already down.Our selling will depress it more.We'll be taking a big beating."
"It's our clients-----people who trusted us-----who will take the beating.And they'd have taken a bigger one still,if we'd waited.Even now we're not out of the woods.A week from now the SEC may disallow those sales.They may rule we had inside knowledge that Supranational was about to be bankrupt,which we should have reported and which would have halted trading in the stock.
