语篇解读: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仍然坚持要先完成学业。
1.resting 考查固定搭配。spend time doing sth.是固定搭配,故填resting。
2.a 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”,表示泛指,故填a。
3.has been told/was told 考查动词时态和语态。此处动词tell与Sarah之间是被动关系,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示过去对现在的影响,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。
4.who 考查定语从句的引导词。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。
5.to prove 考查非谓语动词。want to do是固定搭配,故填to prove。
6.education 考查词性转化。形容词性物主代词her后需用educate的名词形式,故填education。
7.invitations 考查名词复数。invitation是可数名词,前面有several修饰,要用复数形式,故填invitations。
8.in 考查介词。degree与介词in搭配,表示在某方面的学位。故填in。
9.comes 考查动词时态。全文以现在时为主,且school是第三人称单数,故填comes。
10.certainly 考查词性转化。此处fun是名词,但空处修饰整个句子,作状语
