【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了在疫情期间,一位妈妈发起一个活动项目,让大家在纸上写鼓舞人心的话语,以此来鼓舞她的三个孩子和邻居们在疫情下用更加积极的态度面对生活。
1.考查冠词。句意:皮特拉·比格纳米是布鲁克林三个孩子的母亲,她开始了一个项目,鼓励她的三个孩子和邻居。根据句意可知,此处表示“一位三个孩子的妈妈”,表泛指,空后为辅音音素开始的单词mom,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
2.考查特殊疑问词。句意:皮特拉想专注于如何保持希望,让人们对未来有更多的信心。此处为“特殊疑问词+不定式”的结构作介词宾语,同时根据语境可知,此处表示“如何”保持希望。故填how。
3.考查名词。句意:皮特拉想专注于如何保持希望,让人们对未来有更多的信心。分析句子结构可知,空处需要名词作have的宾语。confident为形容词“自信的”,其名词形式为confidence。故填confidence。
4.考查副词。句意:现在,他们每天都会收到邻居和路过的人的高度鼓励信息。此处需用副词作状语修饰形容词encouraging。故填highly。
5.考查非谓语动词。句意:人们留下的信息包括:“保持冷静,振作起来”,“善待他人——我们不知道他们有什么困难”。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词,空处为非谓语动词作后置定语,且messages与leave之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词。故填left。
6.考查形式宾语。句意:这些信息帮助所有难以应对新冠肺炎疫情的人知道,未来的日子会更加阳光明媚。分析句子结构可知,此处考查“find+it+adj.+动词不定式”的结构,it作形式宾语。故填it。
7.考查形容词的比较级。句意:这些
