Answer 1

分析 ：文章介紹一個(gè)年輕人在沙漠給老師帶回一些水，老師喝了以后說(shuō)很甜，但是老師的另外一個(gè)學(xué)生喝了以后卻說(shuō)水很難喝，老師解釋他喝的不是水，而是學(xué)生的心意．

解答 36．the；考查冠詞，這里特指前面的water，故用定冠詞The．
37．who/that；考查關(guān)系代詞，這里是定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是an elder，定語(yǔ)從句中缺少主語(yǔ)，故用關(guān)系代詞who/that在從句中作主語(yǔ)．
38．smiled；考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)，這里smile和前面的took，后面的thanked是并列成分，時(shí)態(tài)要保持一致，故用過(guò)去式smiled．
39．with；考查介詞，分析句意為"年輕人帶著快樂的心回家了"，故用介詞with．
40．a(chǎn)nother；考查句意，分析句意為"這個(gè)學(xué)生走后，老師讓另外一個(gè)學(xué)生品嘗這個(gè)水"，故用another表示"另外一個(gè)"．
41．saying；考查分詞作狀語(yǔ)，主語(yǔ)he與動(dòng)詞say是主謂關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語(yǔ)．
42．obviously；考查副詞，此處用副詞作狀語(yǔ)修飾整個(gè)句子．
43．it；考查代詞，分析句意為"你為什么假裝喜歡它？"用it代替the water．
44．sweeter；考查形容詞的比較級(jí)，沒有什么比這個(gè)更甜的了．用否定詞和比較級(jí)連用，表示最高級(jí)．
45．or；考查連詞，此處用or與前面的whether構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)"whether…or…"，意為"是…還是…"．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 首先要通讀全文，了解大意，抓住上下文語(yǔ)境所提供的信息，明確空格所要填的詞義，詞型和短語(yǔ)搭配，給出所要填的正確形式，然后整體閱讀，核對(duì)答案．
