题目解答
答案
这篇文章作者阐述了自己认为为什么学生时期比其他时期更好创业的原因以及自己的创业经历。
首先我们看给出的词语。
entrepreneur企业家 business商业 partner伙伴 incredibly极其地 glaringly引人注目地 continue继续 offer提供 customer客户 marketing市场 opportunity机会 better更好 trade商业 currently正确地 focusing关注 attending参加
1 ‘Many students put their dreams of becoming a ( n ) (1 ) _’‘许多孩子梦想成为...’推断设空处应该为一个角色,给出的词中‘partner’-‘伙伴’,‘customer’-‘客户’不符合逻辑,本句应该是想表达‘许多孩子梦想成为一个企业家。’
故填entrepreneur。
2 ‘Many students put their dreams of becoming a ( n )( 1 ) _ to one side until after they have achieved their degree . But I would say that universally could be the perfect place to start a ( n ) (2 ) _ . ’‘许多孩子梦想在完成他们学业后成为一个企业家,但是我认为大学正是一个开始...的好地方。’第一空是说小孩们想成为企业家,所以推断第二空作者表达大学正是开始商业的好地方。
故填business。
3 ‘Inspiring Imagery was set up after my business (3 ) _ fellow student and best friend’
‘Inspiring Imagery是我的商业...、同学和最好的朋友建立的’。因为这里是说作者和一些同学、朋友等建立了Inspiring Imagery,所以推断设空处应该是想表达‘伙伴’的意思。
故填partner。
4 ‘We have had to work (4 ) _ hard .’‘我们必须工作...辛苦。’首先,‘hard’是形容词,所以设空处应当填副词,然后根据句意推断应该是形容辛苦的程度。‘currently’-‘正确地’,‘glaringly’-‘引人注目地’显然不符合句意,推断应该是‘我们必须工作得极其辛苦。’
故填incredibly。
5 ‘For the past nine months our time has been spent (5 ) _ lectures during the day ,’‘过去的九个月我们的时间都被花在了...课程上。’首先,时间被花在...课程上,应当是一个动词,其次,spend后动词要加ing,所以推断应该是‘过去的九个月我们的时间都被花在了参加课程上。’
故填attending。
6 ‘time in the evening and 6 ) _ on Inspiring Imagery at any spare moment we had . ’'不管是晚上还是在任何空闲的时候都会... Inspiring Imagery。'分析句意,不管任何时间我们都...Inspiring Imagery,既然作者在做这个工作,那应该是时刻关注,其次,设空处后就是on,‘focus on something’就是‘关注某事’的意思。
故填focusing。
7 ‘ We now( 7 ) _ a wide range of large format printing solutions ’‘我们现在...各种各样的大幅面打印解决方案’。我们和解决方案之间,应该放动词,推测应该是,我们提供解决方案。
故填offer。
8 ‘and our customer base is growing all the time thanks to online and offline (8 ) _ and word of mouth .’‘由于线上线下的...以及口碑,我们的客户群一直在增长。’。这里是说客户增长的原因,推断应该是,线上线下的机会以及客户口碑让他们的客户群体增长。
故填opportunity。
9 ‘We (9 ) _ do most of our trade through our website but our strategy for the future is to take Inspiring Imagery to the high street and open a chain of small shops . ’‘我们的大部分交易都是通过我们的网站...进行的,但我们未来的战略是将Inspiring Imagery带到大街上,开一家连锁小商店。’设空处后面是动词,所以该空应当是副词,既然说大部分交易都是网站进行,那应该是描述我们在线上的交易令人瞩目。
故填glaringly。
10 ‘Students tend to be less tied down , so I don't feel there will ever be a ( n ) 10 ) _ time than when you are a student to start your own business.’'学生往往不受束缚,所以我不认为还有什么时间比在学生时期更...的去开展你的事业。'。首先注意后面有个‘than’,其次分析语义应该是想表达‘没有什么时间比学生时期更好开展事业’‘better...than’比...更好是固定搭配。
故填better。
解析
本题考查根据语境选择恰当词汇的能力,需要结合上下文逻辑和词性选择正确答案。解题核心在于:
- 理解文章主旨:作者分享大学期间创业经历,强调学生时期是创业的黄金时机;
- 分析空格前后逻辑关系,匹配词义与语境;
- 注意词性匹配(如动词、名词、副词的使用);
- 识别固定搭配(如"focus on"、"take ... to the high street"等)。
(1)entrepreneur
关键点:句中"becoming a(n)"提示空格需填入职业类名词。"Entrepreneur"(企业家)与后文"start a business"形成呼应。
(2)business
关键点:"start a(n)"提示需填入抽象概念名词。"Business"与后文"commercial solutions"、"trade"等形成逻辑连贯。
(3)partner
关键点:"business partner"是固定搭配,指商业合作方。句中"best friend"暗示合作的亲密性。
(4)incredibly
关键点:修饰副词"hard"需用程度副词。"Incredibly"(极其)强调工作强度之大。
(5)attending
关键点:"spend...doing"结构要求动名词形式。"Attending lectures"对应学生日常活动。
(6)focusing
关键点:"focus on"是固定短语,表示专注投入。句中"at any spare moment"强化专注度。
(7)offer
关键点:企业行为动词需用"offer"(提供服务)。与后文"customer base"形成逻辑关系。
(8)marketing
关键点:"online and offline"提示需填入商业活动名词。"Marketing"对应客户增长动因。
(9)glaringly
关键点:修饰动词"do"需用强调性副词。"Glaringly"(明显地)突出线上交易占比之高。
(10)better
关键点:"than"比较结构需用最高级形式。"Better"与"any time"构成最佳时机的判断。
