题目解答

答案

（1）考查动词短语。句意：大学毕业后，我在当地一家银行工作，20多岁时过上了舒适的生活。分析可知，此处为句子谓语，根据句意可知，此处表示"过上舒适的生活"，动词短语secure a comfortable life符合语境，结合前文worked可知，句子是在叙述过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故填secured a comfortable life。
（2）考查名词短语。句意：这次访问帮助我结束了为继续这份我不喜欢的工作而进行的漫长斗争。分析可知，此处为句子宾语，根据句意可知，此处表示"漫长的斗争"，名词短语lengthy struggle符合语境。故填lengthy struggle。
（3）考查形容词短语。句意：现在我正在学习历史和考古学，我对自己的决定感到满意。分析可知，此处为句子谓语，根据句意可知，此处表示"感到满意"，短语be contented with符合语境，结合时间状语now可知，此处是在叙述现在的一般状况，应用一般现在时，主语为I，be动词应用am。故填am contented with。
（4）考查动词短语。句意：由于我们彼此不认识，我做好了迎接她的抗拒的准备。分析可知，此处为句子谓语，根据句意可知，此处表示"做好准备"，动词短语brace oneself for符合语境，结合前文didn't可知，句子是在叙述过去的事情，应用一般过去时，主语为I，反身代词应用myself。故填braced myself for。
（5）考查名词短语。句意：但我们聊得很愉快，她对生活的热爱和对未来计划的明确让我感到惊讶。分析可知，此处与and前的her love of life并列作宾语，根据句意可知，此处表示"对......的明确"，名词短语clarity about符合语境。故填clarity about。

解析

本题考查动词短语、名词短语、形容词短语的正确形式选择，需结合上下文语境判断词性、时态及语态。解题核心在于：

  1. 明确空格在句中的语法功能（如主语、宾语、谓语等）；
  2. 根据语境选择最贴切的表达（如"be contented with"表示满意，"brace oneself for"表示做好心理准备）；
  3. 注意时态与主谓一致（如第3题需用现在时态，第4题需用过去式）。

第（1）题

句意：大学毕业后，我在当地一家银行工作，20多岁时过上了舒适的生活。
分析：空格处需填谓语动词，表示"过上舒适的生活"，对应短语secure a comfortable life。因前文用worked（过去式），此处也需用过去式secured。

第（2）题

句意：这次访问帮助我结束了为继续这份我不喜欢的工作而进行的漫长斗争。
分析：空格作动词end的宾语，需填名词短语lengthy struggle（漫长的斗争），与后文to continue构成动名词短语作状语。

第（3）题

句意：现在我正在学习历史和考古学，我对自己的决定感到满意。
分析：空格作谓语，表示"对...满意"，需用be contented with。因时间状语now提示用一般现在时，主语为I，故填am contented with。

第（4）题

句意：由于我们彼此不认识，我做好了迎接她的抗拒的准备。
分析：空格作谓语，表示"做好心理准备"，需用brace oneself for。因前文用didn't（过去时），此处也需用过去式braced。

第（5）题

句意：但我们聊得很愉快，她对生活的热爱和对未来计划的明确让我感到惊讶。
分析：空格与her love of life并列作宾语，需填名词短语clarity about（对...的明确态度），修饰future plans。
