题目解答

答案

根据原文，James Cleveland Owens在13岁首次参赛，高中后进入俄亥俄州立大学，需兼职支付学费（pay for his education）。1935年，他打破的记录比一年后奥运会更多（even more records）。一周前他摔下楼梯，背痛得无法训练，需人搀扶。他拒绝听从放弃的建议（refused to listen to the suggestions of giving up），并表示会逐项尝试（event by event）。最终，他成功创造了记录。

填空分析：

  1. 根据“He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.”，应填“pay”。
  2. 原文“he set even more records”表明应填“more”。
  3. “His back hurt so much”对应“so...that...”结构，应填“so”。
  4. “He refused to listen...”表明应填“refused”。
  5. “...the suggestions of giving up”对应“give up”。
  6. “He did try...”表明应填“try”。

最终答案：

  1. pay
  2. more
  3. so
  4. refused
  5. give up
  6. try

解析

本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇和短语的运用。解题的关键在于结合上下文语境，分析每个空格处所需的词汇或短语，使其在语义和语法上都符合文章逻辑。

  1. 第一空：
    • 根据“He had to work part - time”可知，他兼职的目的是为了支付教育费用。“pay for”是固定短语，意为“为……付款”，所以此空应填“pay”。
  2. 第二空：
    • 由“than”可知，这里要用比较级。结合语境，他在1935年的比赛中创造的记录比一年后奥运会更多，“even”可以用来修饰比较级，“many”的比较级是“more”，所以此空填“more”。
  3. 第三空：
    • “so...that...”是固定结构，表示“如此……以至于……”。文中说他背痛得一周都不能训练，符合该结构的语义，所以此空填“so”。
  4. 第四空：
    • 根据“and said he would try, event by event”可知，他没有听从放弃的建议，而是选择尝试。“refuse to do sth.”表示“拒绝做某事”，文章整体时态是一般过去时，所以“refuse”要用过去式“refused”，此空填“refused”。
  5. 第五空：
    • 结合前文提到他受伤情况以及后文他说要尝试，可知这里是建议他放弃。“give up”意为“放弃”，“suggestion”后接“that”引导的同位语从句时，从句要用虚拟语气，即“should + 动词原形”，“should”可以省略，所以此空填“give up”。
  6. 第六空：
    • 根据“and the results are in the record book”可知，他最终尝试了，并且创造了记录。“do + 动词原形”表示强调，这里强调他确实尝试了，所以此空填“try”。
