Question

Answer 1

分析 本文探讨的是快乐是什么．不同的人有不同的理解．有的人很富有，他们觉得自己很快乐．有的人朋友很多，他们觉得很快乐．有的人活得很快乐是他们觉得自己的生活丰富多采．快乐吸引着每个人．对于孩子们来说，快乐常常意味着有好玩的事情来做，有好玩的玩具玩．对于一个集邮者来说，邮票会比好吃的带给他更多的快乐．
从前有个乞丐，他很快乐．有一天，有个国王看到了他，走过去问他为什么这么穷，却很快乐．国王什么都有，但是他却一点也不快乐．由此我们可以知道，快乐并不由富有或贫穷来决定．快乐取决于一个人的想法．

解答 61．ideas．考查名词．different修饰名词复数ideas．表示"不同的观点"．
62．their．考查代词．做 lives 的短语用物主代词．their．表示"他们的生活"．
63．attracts．考查谓语动词．文章讨论的是一般的道理，所以用一般现在时态，而且主语是Happiness，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数attracts．
64．playing．考查动词形式一致．和eating something good 并列做mean的宾语，所以用．playing．
65．more．考查比较级．根据 than meals可知用much的比较级more．
66．who．考查关系词．分析句子There was once a beggar （66）whowas always happy结构可知定语从句的先行词是 a beggar，做从句的主语，所以用．who．
67．why．考查引导词．根据主句The king saw him and wondered的谓语动词wondered可知后句应该是"为什么他那么穷却很快乐"，所以引导词用why．
68．However．考查连词．he was so happy while he was so poor（68）和，the king could have whatever he （69）wanted（want）； yet he himself was not happy at all．之间是转折关系，而且有逗号，所以用However．
69．wanted．考查谓语动词．本段讲述过去的一个故事，所以用过去式wanted．
70．satisfied．考查派生词．和形容词content并列用形容词satisfied．

点评 考查语法填空．
However 表示转折，尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时，表示转折，其意为"可是""仍然"等．可放在句首、句中或句末，通常用逗号与句子其他成分隔开．如：
My father，however，did not agree．但是，我父亲不同意
My room is small； however，it's comfortable．我的房间很小，但却很舒服．
He said that it was so； he was mistaken，however．他说情况如此，可是他错了．
注意，however不能像 but（但是）那样直接连接两个句子（注意正句中的标点符号）．
