12.American English has its own idioms.Let's say you buy something in a shop.And(61)when/after you pay for it,you say:This cost (62)me an arm and a leg!What do you really mean by (63)saying(say) so?Do you have to give them your arm and your leg?I hope not.Let's listen to an American English conversation (64)to see/and see(see) if we can find out what this means.
A:Did you buy that new computer?
B:Yeah,I did.But I (65)shouldn't/oughtn't to have bought i
A:Why do you say so?Is there anything wrong with it?
B:Not exactly,but,as a matter of fact,it cost the way more than I (66)expected/had expected(expect) it to be.
A:(67)How muchdid it cost?
B:Let me just tell you it cost an arm and a leg!
When you say in American English that something costs an arm and a leg,it actually means that (68)the/its price is very,very high,much (69)higher(high) than we can accept.If you use this (70)phrase/idiom/expressionin the United States,everyone there will understand you.But this is an informal phrase,so don't use it in a formal business setting.

分析 本文介绍了美国英语中的一个习语.通过一段对话告诉了我们"it cost me an arm and a leg"这个英语习语的用法.

解答 61.when/after 考查连词.此处表示为所买的东西付款时或付完款后会说这个习语,所以是when或after引导的时间状语从句,故填when/after.
62.me 考查人称代词的宾格.cost后接双宾语,构成cost sb.sth.,应填入人称代词的宾格,结合语境可知填me.
63.saying 考查非谓语动词.by为介词,因此其后的动词应使用动词-ing形式,故填saying.
64.tosee/and see  考查动词不定式/并列连词.句意:让我们听一段美国人的对话来看看我们能否找到它的真正意思.第一用不定式to see作状语表示目的;第二用并列连词and连接listen to和see两个并列动作.故填to see/and see.
65.shouldn't/oughtn'tto 考查情态动词.根据"But"提示可知,此处表示"买了,但本不应该买".shouldn't/oughtn't to have done表示"本不应该做而实际上做了".
66.expected/hadexpected 考查时态.此处cost为过去式,表示花的钱比原来预计的要多,因此可使用过去时,如果强调"过去的过去",也可以使用过去完成时.
67.Howmuch 考查疑问词.此处是问付了多少钱,因此填入How much.
68.the/its考查冠词/代词.这句话的意思是某物花了一大笔钱.the price特指你购买商品的价格,its price意为"它的价格",所以用定冠词the或代词its都可以,故填the/its.
69.higher 考查形容词的比较级.根据than和修饰比较级的程度副词much可知,此处使用high的比较级higher.句意:价格要比我们能接受的价格高出很多很多.
70.phrase/idiom/expression考查名词.根据文章的第一句及最后一句可知,可填入idiom或phrase,因为expression表示"词组",因此也可以将其填入. 如果你在美国使用这个短语/这个表达方式.此处指的是it cost me an arm and a leg这个短语.

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.
