Question

【题目】I used to live in San Paulo, Brazil.

It is a huge city with more people【1】 (live) in it than in my own country. I rented a flat in a wealthy community, but there was a favela（贫民窟）quite near. For several months I didn’t have a car, so I used public transportation to go to the city centre.

Once, 【2】my way back, I had to wait for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman 【3】 was apparently very poor. She carried a small paper bag of popcorn.

While 【4】were waiting, she walked over and offered me some popcorn. I thanked her,【5】I didn’t want to help myself to it. She repeatedly 【6】(insist)that I take some from the paper bag.

I was so moved by that woman’s 【7】(kind) that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared 【8】she had with me.

I think about how poor people are sometimes able to share the little they have more easily

【9】those who own a lot. I wonder if it’s true that the more you have, 【10】 more difficult it is for you to share anything with others.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】living

【2】on

【3】who

【4】we

【5】but

【6】insisted

【7】kindness

【8】what

【9】than

【10】the

【解析】 本文属于故事类文章。作者通过自己在等公交车时遇到一个比自己穷的女人，主动地给自己一些爆米花，让作者深受感动。从而感叹穷人虽穷却能分享他们仅有的东西，而富有的人却更难与他人分享。

【1】living

考查非谓语作宾补。句意：这是一个比我自己国家更多的人居住的巨大的城市。with 的宾语more people 与live 是主动关系，故要用living修饰 people.

【2】on

考查固定搭配。On one’s way back，为固定搭配，“在某人回去的路上”。句意：有一次我回家的路上我在公共汽车站等了很长时间。根据句意可知我回家的路上，因此用on.

【3】. Who

考查定语从句。句意：除了一个显的很穷的女人之外，只有我一个人。a woman 是定语从句的先行词，在从句中作主语，指人，用who ，故填 who.

【4】we

考查人称代词。句意：当我们在等车时，她走过来并且给了我一些爆米花。分析句意，只我和她，所以要用代词we。

【5】but

考查转折连词。她走过来并且给了我一些爆米花.我谢了她，但我不想吃。从句意分析前后是转折关系，故要用but.

【6】insisted

考查转折连词。她再三坚持我从纸袋里拿一些吃。分析句意可知要用坚持，故用insisted.

【7】kindness

考查名词。那天那个女人的好意使我深受感动。kind在句中作主语，应该用名词kindness。

【8】what

考查主语从语。句意：显然我比她拥有的多，但她很自然地她和我分享她所拥有的东西。动词share 后的宾语从句中she had少了宾语，故用what。

【9】than

考查比较级。我思考有时候为何穷人能比那些拥有更多的人更容易分享他们所拥有的极少的东西。根据句中的more easily可判断出要用比较级，所以要用than。

【10】The

考查固定句式。句意：我想知道你是否拥有的越多，与他人分享的困难就越大。The+比较级……，the 比较级。分析句意可知要用the.
