Question

【题目】Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese【1】(dish) is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners【2】come to China cook much less than in their own countries once they realize how cheap【3】 can be to eat out. I still remember【4】(visit) a friend who’d lived here for five years and I【5】 (shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time.

While regularly eating out seems to【6】(become) common for many young people in recent years, it’s not without a cost. The obvious one is money; eating out once or twice a week may be 【7】 (afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an even【8】(high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in【9】(weigh) problems.

If you are not going to suffer this problem, then I suggest that the next time you go to your mum’s home【10】dinner, get a few cooking tips from her. Cooking food can be fun. You might also begin to notice the effects not only on your health but in your pocket.

【解析】

本文谈论自己做饭的好处：不仅有趣，有益于健康，而且很省钱。

【1】考查名词的单复数。dish菜，是可数名词，用复数表示泛指。句意：中国菜被看作是特别麻烦的。故答案为dishes。

【2】考查定语从句。先行词westerners指人，关系代词在从句中做主语，用who或者that。句意：许多来中国的西方人做饭比自己国家少得多。故答案为who/that。

【3】考查it作形式主语的用法。宾语从句中缺少主语，而且指代to eat out，所以用it作形式主语。句意：他们意识到在外面吃饭是多么便宜。故答案为it。

【4】考查remember的用法。remember to do记得要做，remember doing,记得做过。此处表明记得拜访过。句意：我仍然记得我拜访过在这里住了五年的一个朋友。故答案为visiting.

【5】考查被动语态。句意：我仍然记得我拜访过在这里住了五年的一个朋友，并且当我得知她甚至一次都没有做过饭的时候，我被震惊了。此处我被某一个事实所震惊到，用被动语态，句子是一般过去时，be动词用was，加上过去分词shocked，故答案为was shocked.

【6】考查seem的用法。seem to have done,表明不定式的动作发生在谓语动作之前。句意：虽然经常外出就餐似乎对很多年轻人来说都很普遍。故答案为 have become.

【7】考查词性转化。be+adj构成系表结构，所以此处用形容词。句意：一周吃一两次可以负担得起。故答案为affordable.

【8】考查形容词的比较级。high形容词，而此处仍然需要形容词，even修饰比较级。句意：你的健康可能会付出更高的代价。故答案为higher.

【9】考查名词作定语。名词作定语表类别用处，此处指重量方面的问题。句意：体重问题的上升。故答案为weight.

【10】考查介词的固定搭配。go to sp. for dinner去某处吃饭。句意：我建议下次你去妈妈家吃饭。故答案为for.

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。要解决好语法填空，离不开坚实的语法知识，有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断，从而答对题目。本篇语法填空考查到的语法知识有时态、词性、从句以及固定短语等，其中小题2为定语从句考查，先要找准先行词，然后分析先行词在定语从句中所作的成分，最后确定关系词。
