【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,简要介绍了特蕾修女的一生。
1.解析:考查非谓语动词。句子主语与work为主谓关系,再根据上文的At that time和空格前面的were分析,此处为过去进行时,故填入working。
答案:working
2.解析:考查人称代词。根据上文的关键信息词they可知,此处该填入they的宾格
22
形式。
答案:them
3.解析:考查行文逻辑。根据下文的then a year later可知用副词first (首先)。 答案:first
4.解析:考查动词的语态。她开始接受成为一名教师的训练。begin to do sth.开始做某事,此处train与she之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用be trained。
答案:be trained
5.解析:考查定语从句。所填词引导定语从句,且在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where,也可用in which。
答案:where/in which
6.解析:考查连词。所填词表示“尽管”,引导让步状语从句,且从句没有倒装,故用while/although/though/even if/even though。
答案:while/although/though/even if/even though
7.解析:考查形容词。根据work in the poor parts,helping和下文的 comforting the dying可推知,此处帮助的对象显然是“穷人”,the poor穷人。
答案:poor
8.解析:考查不定代词。根据语境可知,开始是特蕾莎修女自己救助穷人和濒临死亡的人,后来“其他人”来帮她。故填不定代词others。
答案:others
9.解析:考查定冠词。travel around the world环游世界。 答案:the
10.解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据In 1979可判断,谓语动词用一般过去时,且give与she之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态。所以该空填入was given。
答案:was given
