Question

【題目】語(yǔ)法填空

There's no reason why women return to school. Going back to school provides private and public benefits. College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries, 【1】 (employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. Collegeeducated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely _【2】 (little) on government support.

Making the switch from【3】 (support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge, 【4】 often a necessary one. Financial 【5】 (dependent) for women is key, says Nancy Schlossberg, professor at University of Maryland. “I think 【6】_ important for women to do some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced 【7】 never married.”

To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before 【8】 you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have 【9】 education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is 【10】 you are ready at this time to go for it.”

試題分析：

【1】因?yàn)檫@句話的主語(yǔ)College graduates和employ之間是動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，所以此處應(yīng)填employ的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)；再根據(jù)上下文的語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，且主語(yǔ)是復(fù)數(shù)。故此處應(yīng)填are employed。

【2】根據(jù)上文中的“more”可知，此處應(yīng)填little的比較級(jí)形式，即less。

【3】因?yàn)榍懊嬗薪樵~“from”，所以此處應(yīng)用動(dòng)名詞結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語(yǔ)。句意：由被人養(yǎng)轉(zhuǎn)變成自己養(yǎng)自己可能是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，但這是必要的。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)填being supported。

【4】根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，空格前后之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此此處應(yīng)填but。

【5】根據(jù)下文中的“is”可知，此處應(yīng)填其名詞形式作主語(yǔ)， (in)dependence為不可數(shù)名詞。故應(yīng)填independence。

【6】此處用it作形式賓語(yǔ)，后面的動(dòng)詞不定式結(jié)構(gòu)作真正的賓語(yǔ)。所有代詞中，只有it有此用法。故填it。

【7】either ... or ...是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“或者……或者……”。

【8】句意：如果你受過(guò)良好的教育，那你就能比以前做得好許多。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)用if引導(dǎo)條件狀語(yǔ)從句。

【9】根據(jù)“education”后面的內(nèi)容可知，此處的“教育”應(yīng)是特指，故此處應(yīng)填the。

【10】句意：?jiǎn)栴}在于你此時(shí)是否準(zhǔn)備好去追求這樣的教育。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處應(yīng)用whether引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句。
