My Stay in New York
After graduation from university, I had been unable to secure a 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 to work in a local café as a waiter. I believed that as soon as I(offer) 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(respect) job had not met with much (succeed). As I had studied literature at university, I found quite difficult to secure a suitable job in big companies. Mother had just said that if I wanted to have a better career advancement, I had to find work in the city. Perhapsmy 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 suitable job. 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；was offered；exhausted；respectable；success；it；what；adapting；did
【解析】作者大学毕业以后，我在我的小镇上找不到一份工作。所以我决定离开家去纽约， 文章讲述在纽约待一段时间后又回到自己家乡的经历。
（1）考查定语从句的关系词。句意：因此我决定离开家乡去纽约，或许在那里我能找到更好的机会找到好的工作。根据句意和结构可知，关系词在定语从句中做地点状语，所以答案是where/in which。
（2）考查不定式做目的状语。句意：为了挣些钱支付日常开支，我开始在当地的咖啡馆做服务生。根据句意可知，这里用不定式做目的状语，所以答案是To earn。
（3）考查动词的时态和语态。句意：我想着只要有好的工作职位，我就会立刻辞职。根据句意可知主语“I”和动词offer之间是被动关系，结合主句 I believed that可知宾语从句也要用一般过去的时态，所以答案是was offered。
（4）考查形容词。句意：一段时间之后，生活的高开支成为我已经疲惫了的肩膀上的负担。根据句意可知这里用形容词exhausted，表示“感到疲惫的”。所以答案是exhausted。
（5）考查形容词。句意：另一方面，我没有成功找到一份体面的工作。respectable体面的，值得尊敬的。所以答案是respectable。
（6）考查名词。根据句子可知作者没有成功找到工作，介词with后要接名词。所以答案是success。
（7）考查形式宾语。句意：因为我在大学学的文学专业，因此我发现在大公司找到合适的工作很难。这里用形式宾语it指代后面真正的宾语to secure a suitable job。所以答案是it。
（8）考查主语从句。句意：或许我妈妈告诉我的话深深地扎根在了我的心里。这里构成了主语从句，主语从句缺少宾语，所以答案是what。
（9）考查固定搭配。句意：很明显，我很难适应城市生活，更不要说找到合适的工作了。本题考查固定搭配have difficulty（in）doing做某事有困难。所以答案是adapting。
（10）考查部分倒装句型。句意：直到我回来，我才意识到平静的城镇生活才最适合我。此句not until放在句首，主句用部分倒装，所以答案是did。
