Answer 1

【答案】

1.it。

【解析】在賓語從句中作形式主語，真正的主語是to choose…。

2.to please。

【解析】在形容詞后作狀語，只能用動詞不定式。

3.a。

【解析】表示“一次”愉快的經歷。

4.pushed。

【解析】與stepped并列，也用一般過去時。

5.where。

【解析】因兩句之間沒有連詞，必定是填連詞；后句是定語從句，要填的詞在從句中作地點狀語，故填關系副詞where。

6.choice。

【解析】在形容詞性物主代詞后一定是用名詞形式。

7.on。

【解析】因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配。

8.him。

【解析】給父親買禮物，根據常識應是使父親高興，作賓語用代詞。please him /father使他高興。

9.at。

【解析】名詞（table）在句中不作主語，也不作動詞的賓語，很可能就是作介詞的賓語；由having supper可知，填at；因為at table表示“在餐桌邊，在進餐”，也是習慣搭配。

10.was informed。

【解析】因Jane與inform是被動關系，又是一般過去時。

【點評】

*1. 語法填空和完形填空，與早兩年的高考題相比，似乎都容易得多，增加了固定搭配，語境需求也沒那么要求強烈，只看空格句，一般都可做出正確的答案來。

*2. 與我們平時預測結果完全一致：在語法填空中不會要求考生根據上下文來填寫一個名詞、動詞、拼寫較長的形容詞或副詞，因為這是完形填空要解決的問題。可是在有的模擬題中還有這類現象，望命題人在今后的命題中要搞清各大題的高計意圖和不同功能。

*3. 關于命題材料的來源，我們發現（2007和2008年廣東高考英語從完形到寫作的材料都來自網上）后，今年終于避開了網絡。筆者認為，這是沒有必要的。

其實，避開不從外國網站去打原材料而是從大家都用來設計試題的用過的材料,又拿來命高考題這才是大錯特錯的。如本題的材料在幾百個網上都有，在高一測試中有人用過，在大學四級、六級訓練中用過，幾乎在各類考試中都用過。
