Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
My doorbell rings at 11 am. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand (be) a paper bag. She is the little boy's grandmother, and her daughter, Nicole, bought house next door last October. Nicole has (obvious) told her mother that I am having a heart operation shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided (supply) me with meals.
I know what is inside the paper bag — a bottle of hot soup and a (contain) with a meal of rice, vegetables and meat. It's become a daily occurrence.
us is somewhat difficult because she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, showed at message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know the food was all right for me.
So here we are, two grandmothers, neither of (we) able to speak the other's language but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps (ring) and there is the familiar brown paper bag, handed smilingly to me.

Answer 1

【答案】is；the；obviously；to supply；container；between；which；if/whether；us；ringing
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，叙述的是一位中国奶奶虽然语言不通但照顾生病的外国邻居的故事。
（1）is本句是倒装句，表语位于句首，be是系动词，根据文章时态用一般现在时；主语是a paper bag，所以be要用单数，故填is。（2）the这里特指隔壁的房子，所以用the。
（3）obviously 这里修饰谓语动词has done，修饰动词要用副词，故填obviously。
（4）to supply decide的固定搭配是decide to do，所以填to supply。
（5）container a后面接名词，且contain变成名词有container和containment，这里用container更符合题意，即一个有米饭，蔬菜和肉的器皿。故填container。
（6）between句意：我们之间的交流有点困难因为她不会说英语，而我能说的中文只有“你好”。表示“两者之间”用between。
（7）which pointed和showed是两个谓语动词，所以中间需要有一个连词，而此处的连词是充当从句主语且有一个逗号和主句隔开，所以这里是非限定性定语从句；先行词是the screen，故关系词填which。
（8）whether/if wanted和was是两个谓语动词，所以后面中间应该放连词；这个从句跟在know后面，所以后面是宾语从句；这里填whether／if表示“想知道食物是否适合我”。
（9）us， of是介词，所以后面接宾格，所以用we的宾格us。
（10）ringing keep后面接动词，使用固定搭配keep doing，所以用ringing。
