Question

【題目】I was traveling in a small place in New York. That place had no taxi for a short 【1】 (distant). One had to take a rickshaw(人力車).

I called out for an old man in the waiting line. Before I got on the rickshaw, I 【2】 (automatic) asked how much he would charge to take me across to the Mall. I 【3】 (tell) “10 dollars”. Then I started bargaining. He just gave a hard smile and said, “Whatever you feel like, please give me. It is not necessary【4】(bargain) on this small amount.”

I was a bit ashamed at myself and kept quiet while he continued, “【5】(like) those taxis, my vehicle does not run on petrol or diesel(柴油) or even gas; 【6】 runs on my sweat. So please give it to me 【7】 a smile, for the money has to feed so many 【8】(hunger) mouths at home.”

When we reached the Mall, I gave him the money and the smile 【9】 requested and added a gentle pat on his back. He smiled back as if to give me a receipt and I would preserve his smile for 【10】 long time.

【解析】試題分析：本文屬于記敘文，講述了在紐約乘坐人力三輪車時(shí)，車夫的一番話讓我感覺他們生活的艱難與不易。

【1】distance 考查名詞。本題橫線前面是形容詞short，說明橫線上應(yīng)該使用名詞，所以使用形容詞distant的名詞形式distance。

【2】automatically 考查副詞。在英語中副詞通常做狀語修飾形容詞、副詞或動詞，形容詞通常做定語或表語。本句中使用副詞automatically在句中做狀語修飾謂語動詞。

【3】was told 考查時(shí)態(tài)語態(tài)。本句中主語I與動詞tell構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，且根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知本文敘述過去發(fā)生的事情，所以本句使用一般過去時(shí)的被動語態(tài)was told。

【4】to bargain 考查不定式用法。本句中it是形式主語，真正的主語是不定式短語to bargain on this small amount。

【5】Unlike 考查介詞。本句中介詞unlike和...不一樣；句意：和那些出租車不一樣，我的這種車不用汽油，用的我的汗水。

【6】it 考查代詞。在英語中it通常指代上文出現(xiàn)的同一事物，本句中it指代前句中的my vehicle。

【7】with 考查介詞。本句中介詞with表示“帶著”，表示伴隨。請面對微笑把錢給我， 因?yàn)檫@錢要養(yǎng)活很多張饑餓的嘴。

【8】hungry 考查形容詞。在英語中形容詞通常做定語修飾名詞，或做表語和系動詞構(gòu)成系表結(jié)構(gòu)。本句中使用形容詞hungry做定語修飾名詞mouths。

【9】as 考查連詞。本句中連詞as意為“像...一樣”。引導(dǎo)方式狀語細(xì)節(jié)，在后面省略了we were。句意：當(dāng)我們到達(dá)購物中心的時(shí)候，像被要求的那樣我給了他錢和微笑，并溫柔地拍了拍他的后背。

【10】a 考查固定短語。短語for a long time很長一段時(shí)間，該短語在句中作時(shí)間狀語。
