【答案】 being;which;finally;declared;to retire;have made;but;saying;a;wonderful
【解析】 (1)考查动名词。常见的介词有 for, about , with , from 等,后面动词得加 ing。for
是介词,后跟动名词,故答案为 being。
(2)考查定语从句。前面有逗号,所以是非限制性定语从句,代替物,修饰先行词 the pet
shop,关系词在从句中作 open 的宾语,故答案为 which。
(3)考查副词。此处修饰动词 have been acknowledged,所以将形容词 final 改为副词。故
答案为 finally。
(4)考查动词的时态。根据句子结构可知此处是句子的谓语,根据后面宾语从句中的 had
可知是一般过去时,故答案为 declared。
(5)考查动词不定式作定语。a plan to do sth 做某事的计划,故答案为 to retire。
语法填空 (6)考查动词的时态。此处是定语从句,I 是句子的主语,根据后面的 over the years 可知
用现在完成时。故答案为 have made。
(7)考查连词的用法。句意:我工作不是因为生活所迫,而是因为我想工作。not……but……
不是……而是……。故答案为 but。
(8)考查非谓语动词。此处作定语,修饰 call,与 say 构成主动关系,用现在分词,故答
案为 saying。
(9)考查冠词的基本用法。joke 是可数名词,前用不定冠词 a,表示“一个笑话”,故答案
为 a。
(10)考查形容词。be+形容词,构成系表结构,故答案为 wonderful。

确形式。
Few people I know seem to have much desire or time to cook. Making Chinese________(dish)
is seen as especially troublesome. Many westerners ________ come to China cook much less
than in their own countries once they realize how cheap ________can be to eat out. I still
remember________(visit) a friend who'd lived here for five years and I________(shock) when I
learnt she hadn't cooked once in all that time.
While regularly eating out seems to________(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________(afford) but doing this most days adds up. There could be an
even________(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 ________(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 ________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.
【答案】 dishes;who/that;it;visiting;was shocked;have become;affordable;higher;
weight;for
【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,故答案为 dishes。
(2)此处考查定语从句,先行词 westerners 指人,关系代词在从句中做主语,用 who 或者
that,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,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,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,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,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,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,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,故答案为 for.

I'm not sure ________ is more frightened, me or the female gorilla(大猩猩)that suddenly

Unexpectedly, I'm face-to-face with the gorilla, who begins screaming at ________ top of her
lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears. He screams the
________(loud)of all. The noise shakes the trees as the male beats his chest and charges toward
me. I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid ________(look) directly into his eyes so he
doesn't feel________(challenge). My name is Mireya Mayor. I'm a ________(science)who studies animals such as apes and
monkeys. I was searching ________ these three western lowland gorillas I'd been observing. No
one had seen them for hours, and my colleagues and I were worried.
When the gorillas and I frightened each other, I was just glad to find ________(they) alive.
True to a gorilla's unaggressive nature, the huge animal ________(mean)me no real harm. He was

meant。
