She looks like any other schoolgirl, fresh-faced and full of life. Sarah Thomas is looking forward to the challenge of her new A-level course .But unlike her school friends ,16-year-old Sarah is not spending half-term 1.resting (rest). Instead, she is earning £6500 a day as 2.a model in New York.
Sarah 3.has been told/was told (tell) that she could be Britain's new supermodel earning a million dollars in the next year. Her father Peter,44, wants her to give up school to model fulltime But Sarah, 4.who has taken part in shows along with top models wants 5.to prove (prove) that she has brains as well as beauty she is determined to carry on with her 6.education (educate).
She has turned down several 7.invitations (invitation) to star at shows in order to concentrate on her studies. After school she plans to take a year off to model full-time before going to university to get a degree 8.in engineering or architecture.
Sarah says, “My dad thinks I should take the offer now. But at the moment, school 9.comes (come) first. I don't want to get too absorbed in modeling. It is 10.certainly (certain) fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal. I don't want to have nothing else to fall back on when I can't model my more.”
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了16岁的Sarah在上学的同时兼职做模特,并且取得了巨大的成功;虽然她父亲希望她当全职模特,但是Sarah仍然坚持要完成学业。
❶ 解析:考查固定搭配。spend time doing sth.是固定搭配,故填resting。
❷ 解析:考查冠词。该空后面model是可数名词单数,此处表示“作为一名模特”,故填a。
❸ 解析:考查动词时态和语态。此处动词tell与Sarah是被动关系,因为第二段在讲述父亲和Sarah的想法时都是用现在时,因此可以用现在完成时表达过去对现在的影响,故可以填has been told。此外,“被告知”这件事情发生在过去,故也可填was told。
❹ 解析:考查定语从句。此句Sarah是主语,wants是主句谓语,因此可以判断此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词为Sarah,从句中缺主语且指人,故填who。
❺ 解析:考查非谓语动词。want to do是固定搭配,故填to prove。
❻ 解析:考查词性转换。形容词性物主代词her后需用educate的名词形式,故填education。
❼ 解析:考查名词单复数。invitation是可数名词,前面有several修饰,要用复数形式,故填invitations。
❽ 解析:考查介词。degree与介词in搭配,表示在某方面的学位。故填in。
❾ 解析:考查动词时态。全文均为现在时,且school是第三人称单数,故填comes。
解析:考查副词。此处fun是名词,但空处修饰整个句子,作状语,故填certainly。
