His ________ （young）son asked him to get in and closed the door again. It was dark everywhere, so the king shouted at him ________ （angry）, But suddenly the second son lighted a candle and the room was full of light. The king felt very excited and hugged him proudly. He realized: Wisdom（智慧） is more important than simple answers ________ are easy to get.

【答案】 years；for；to test；them；be；visited；the；younger；angrily；which/that

【解析】【分析】文章大意：国王有两个儿子，让著名的老师教他们，几年后，国王生病了，想找到一个聪明的王位继承人，让他两个儿子用自己想到的东西把房间填满，第二天分别去了两个儿子的房间，很高兴地拥抱了二儿子，他意识到智慧比简单的答案更重要。（1）句意：几年后，国王病的很严重。a few一些，后跟可数名词的复数形式，因此使用year的复数，故答案是years。

（2）句意：他仔细考虑了整整一个晚上。 a whole night是时间段，引出时间段的是介词for，故答案是for。

（3）句意：最后，他决定测试一下他的儿子。decide to do sth.，决定做某事，因此使用动词不定式，故答案是to test。

（4）句意：一天，他给了他们每人一个房间。of是介词，介词后使用宾格人称代词，将they改为them，故答案是them。

（5）句意：但是不应该有空间剩下，不能向任何人请求建议。本句为there be句式，should是情态动词，情态动词后使用动词原形，故答案是be。

（6）句意：第二天，国王参观了他的大儿子的房间。本文的基本时态是一般过去时，因此本句为一般过去时，应使用visit的过去式visited，故答案是visited。

（7）句意：于是他去了另一个房间。国王有两个儿子，分别对两人或者两件事进行描述，应使用短语one…the other…，一个……另一个……，故答案是the。

（8）句意：他的小儿子让他进去。又把门关住了。因为国王有两个儿子，先去的是大儿子的房间，后去的应该是小儿子的房间，大与小是相对的，因此都应使用比较级，故答案

是younger。

（9）句意：到处都很黑，国王生气地冲着他喊叫。angry修饰动词shouted，应使用副词形式angrily，故答案是angrily。

（10）句意：智慧比容易得到的答案更重要。本句为定语从句，先形式是answers，因此关系代词使用that或者which，故答案是which/that。

【点评】考查词汇在篇章中的运用能力，答题时首先要跳过空格通读文章掌握其大意，然后细读文章，字斟句酌逐一作答，注意考虑句型、语法、搭配、语境等因素。最后通读一遍，检查验证。

In the end, Peter ________ （choose）. Peter looked quite common, but he had impressive inner beauty.

【答案】 weaker；himself；of；nurses；given；If；a；What；angrily；was chosen

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了一个老人在录用护士时，故意挑起对方的矛盾，通过两人截然不同的反应，从而判断谁适合。

（1）句意：他一天比一天虚弱。weak是形容词，形容词修饰系动词grow，根据day by day可知是比较级weaker，故填 weaker。

（2）句意：因为他不能照顾自己，他决定雇一个护士来照顾他。look after oneself，照顾自己，主语是he，故反身代词是himself，故填 himself。

（3）句意：因为他不能照顾自己，他决定雇一个护士来照顾他。take care of，固定搭配，照顾，故填of 。

（6）句意：如果安东尼对我有看法，我一定有什么问题。此处是条件状语从句，故是引导词if，如果，故填If。

（7）句意：同时，安东尼给老人端了杯茶回来。cup是名词单数，以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a表示泛指，a cup of，固定搭配，一杯……，故填a。

（8）句意：你对此怎么想？此处是特殊疑问句，think后缺少宾语，故用what提问，故填What。

（9）句意：听到这，安东尼生气地大喊。副词修饰动词shouted，angrily，是副词，生气地，故填angrily。

（10）句意：最后，Peter被录用。根据Peter looked quite common，可知时态是一般过去时，choose与主语Peter是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，故助动词是was，choose的过去分词是chosen，故填was chosen。

【点评】考查语法填空，注意调整词性，时态，主谓一致和名词的数等。

Ever since then, I didn't hate telling white lies anymore.

【答案】 However；to get；me；the；waiting；on；were；unhappily；friends；surprised 【解析】【分析】作者曾经强烈反对说谎，无法忍受谎言。但一次他的朋友们在聚会上给他惊喜的经历让他自此以后不再讨厌善意的谎言。

（1）句意：然而，一个善意的谎言改变了我的想法。前句说：我曾经强烈反对说谎。我无法忍受谎言。这里又说一个善意的谎言改变了我的想法，说明出现了转折，这里不是并列句，位于句首逗号前，用however，但是，故填However。

（2）句意：几天前，我邀请了一些朋友聚在酒吧庆祝我的生日。invite sb to do意为"邀请某人做……"，故填to get。

（3）句意：他们答应在下午5点见我。他们是要来赴约见我，动词meet后加人称代词宾格做宾语，我，me是宾格，故填me。

（9）句意：但就在那一刻，我的一群朋友带着一块大蛋糕走进房间，唱着"祝你生日快乐"。a group of修饰可数名词复数，故填friends。

（10）句意：我是如此的惊讶。这里是在be动词后加形容词表示状态，形容词surprised 意为"惊讶的"，故填surprised。

（2）句意：据说每晚8小时的睡眠时间被认为是平均睡眠时间。由题干可知主语eight hours与动词consider之间存在被动关系，所以应用被动语态，文章时态为一般现在时，时间作主语谓语动词用单数，所以be动词用is，consider的过去分词是considered，故答案填is considered。

（3）句意：然而，去年中国青少年研究中心报道。由last year可知，动词时态用一般过去时，report的过去式为reported，故答案填reported。

（5）句意：对于一些学生来说，他们想早点睡觉，但是他们总是担心他们的学业。keep doing sth.或者keep+形容词，都表示“使…处于某种状态”，worried，是形容词，故答案填worrying/worried。

（6）句意：他们不能很快入睡。联系上文语境，结合提示词可知此处句意为“他们不能很快入睡。”“入睡”fall asleep，固定词组，前面有情态动词can't，所以这里用动词原形，故答案填asleep。

（7）句意：为了解决这类问题。这里应用动词不定式表示目的，故答案填To solve。（8）句意：科学家建议学生应该少做功课，多睡觉。根据后面的more time to sleep可知此处应表达的是“作更少的功课”，句中暗含比较级，little的比较级为less，故答案填less。（9）句意：比如白天小睡20分钟。such as意思是“比如”，as是介词后接动词ing形式，故答案填taking。

（1）句意：它也叫做快速响应码。根据call与主语是被动关系，已有助动词is，故此处是过去分词，故填called。

（2）句意：这种特殊代码是1994年一家日本公司发明的。根据was invented是被动语态可知用介词by，被，故填by。

Long long ago, there was a small village in the Middle East. In the village there was________old man called Sthira. He lived by himself. His only son had gone far away to study. Sthira's friends________（wonder）whether his son would return,________Sthira always said," Whatever happens, happens for good."

One day the old man's son returned and the villagers were very happy for Sthira. He thanked the villagers and said________（polite）,"Whatever happens, happens for good." However, later, Sthira's son broke his________（leg）. Once again the villagers came to visit him and once again the old man thanked________（they） and said, "Whatever happens, happens for good." Some of the villagers were surprised________（hear） this. Why? What was good? His son's leg got badly hurt!

After a few days, the army came to the village and forced all the young men to________the army. When they found his son had a________（break） leg, they left him behind. Once again, all the villagers came to congratulate him on his________（good）luck. Like always, the old man was still thankful to them and said," Whatever happens, happens for good."

【答案】 an；wondered；but；politely；leg；them；to hear；join；broken；good

【解析】【分析】文章大意：从前，在一个小村里，有一个泰斯拉的老人，不管发生了什么他都认为是好事。

（1）句意：在一个村庄里有一个叫做泰斯拉的老人。man是单数，前面需要不定冠词，old是以元音音素开始的，因此使用an，故答案是an。

（2）句意：泰斯拉的朋友想知道他的朋友是否回来。根据句首的long long ago可知句子为一般过去时，故答案是wondered。

（3）句意：但是泰斯拉总是说“不管发生了什么，都是好事，”朋友想知道他的儿子是否会回来，泰斯拉却说不管发生了什么都是好事，所以使用but表示转折，故答案是but。

（4）句意：他感谢了村民们，然然后礼貌地说：“不管发生了什么，发生的都是好事。”polite修饰动词said，因此使用副词politely，故答案是politely。

（5）句意：然而，之后，太势力的儿子摔断了腿。摔断的不可能是两条腿，应该是一条腿，因此使用单数形式，故答案是leg。

（6）句意：村民在一次来看忘了他，他再一次感谢了他们。they做thank的宾语，应使用宾格人称代词，故答案是them。

（7）句意：一些村名听到后感到很吃惊。听到是吃惊的原因，应使用动词不定式做状语，故答案是to hear。

（8）句意：几天之后，军队来到村里，强迫年轻人参军。根据the army可知是强迫参军，force sb. to do sth.固定搭配，to已经给出，因此使用动词原形，故答案是join。

（9）句意：当他们发现他的儿子有一条断腿的时候，他们就把他留下了。break修饰leg，因此使用过去分词，故答案是broken。

（10）句意：村民再次来祝她好运。good修饰luck，没有任何比较，所以使用原级，故答案是good。

There are problems between teenagers and adults. Lack of________ （communicate）is one of them. As for teenagers, it can often be quite difficult to talk to our parents. It seems our parents are always telling us to study. We feel that our parents hardly understand us, so we tend to either talk to our friends________just keep quiet about our problems.

（3）句意：我们总是看不到父母对我们的关心。fail to do sth，不能成功地做某事，故此处是不定式，故填to see。

（8）句意：父母总想把最好的给我们。the定冠词是最高级的标志，good的最高级是best，故填best。

（9）句意：花点时间坐下来和他们交谈。副词修饰动词talk，real是形容词，副词是really，故填really。

（10）句意：他们可能会给你提供一些有用的建议。 provide sb with sth，固定搭配，提供某人某物，故填with。
