The man thought for a while, and replied: “An office boy!” 答案:
1.interviewed 这里应填谓语动词的过去时,HR manager: 人力资源部经理。 2.and “Do sth., and sb./sth.will?”是一个常见句型,例如:Use your head, and you'll find a way.
3.neither /nor /or 若上句是否定句,则后一句常用neither或nor表示“也不,也没有”。 另外,在否定句中的并列连词不用and多用or。
4.whoever 在这里作主语引导主语从句,整句意思是“凡是不存在的人都不能拥有这份工作。”
5.with with no hope at all= without any hope: 不怀任何希望。 6.succeeded 此处缺少谓语动词。

The first day the boy __2__(drive)37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered __3__ (gradual) decreased. He discovered __4__ was easier to hold his temper than to drive nails into the fence.

A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare. They make you smile and encourage you __10__ (success). They lend an ear, and always want to open their hearts to us.”
答案:
1.must 根据上下文,这里应该填意为“必须”的情态动词 2.drove 此处应该是谓语动词的过去式。
3.gradually 这里需要副词修饰动词decreased,意为“逐渐减少”。 4.it 这里作形式主语指代后面的不定式短语。
5.when 引导定语从句修饰主语the day,因谓语动词太短仅came一个词,故将从句后置。全句意思是:他不发脾气的那一天终于到来了。
6.(should) pull suggest (建议)后的宾语从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气,即should +
V-原形,should 可省略。
7.by take sb.by the hand是习惯搭配,凡表示“拉、拖、握、揪、牵”等意思的英语动词都是这个搭配,即sleeve/hair/arm/nose/ear?。
8.ones 指代上文的scar,这里用复数指代篱笆上被钉子顶过的洞痕。 9.the wound在这里是特指前面提到的疤痕scar,故应该加定冠词。 10.to succeed 鼓励某人做某事:encourage sb. to do sth. 。

take/seize/pull/lead?sb. by the

答案:
1.named 过去分词作定语,相当于定语从句:who was named。 2.from 根据上下文应填介词from:从她弟弟身体输血给她。 3.who 引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语。 4.illness 填名词作fight的宾语。

6.if 全句意思是:“如果(输血)能够挽救莉紫,我愿意这样做。” 7.As 在这里是“随着”的意思。
