Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，在空白處填入1個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

A landlord in Maine announced he would not be collecting rent from his tenants (租戶) in April due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

Nathan Nichols, of South Portland, wrote on Facebook that the tenants 【1】 (live) in the two units he owns are service and hourly workers, who may be out of work in the coming months.

“Because I am 【2】 (fortune) enough to afford it and I have the privilege of being in the owner class, I just let them know I would not be collecting rent 【3】 April,” Nichols wrote. “I ask any other landlords out there to take 【4】 serious look at the situation and consider giving their tenants some rent relief as well.

Nichols’ post has more than 22,000 shares and 【5】 (hundred) of comments praising his 【6】 (decide). In an update post on Facebook, he revealed that it had inspired at least one other landlord to do the same.

He added: “Every so often, however, there is a comment from a landlord who would like 【7】 (help) the tenants, but 【8】 (simple) can’t, or from a tenant who really wishes the landlord would help him, but 【9】 (doubt) whether they will. To these people, I say: I don’t know your situation and I don’t want to judge that a landlord 【10】 is still collecting rent is somehow a bad person.”

【解析】

本文為記敘文，文章主要講述了美國(guó)一位房東對(duì)自己的租客免一個(gè)月的租金，幫助他們渡過難關(guān)的故事。

【1】

考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞�，F(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作后置定語(yǔ)，live與其邏輯主語(yǔ)tenants為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故答案為 living。

【2】

考查形容詞。該空前為系動(dòng)詞，此處應(yīng)使用形容詞作表語(yǔ)，根據(jù)句意可知這位房東認(rèn)為自己能承擔(dān)起免房租的費(fèi)用是幸運(yùn)的，故答案為fortunate。

【3】

考查介詞。表示時(shí)間的介詞in后面常跟年、月、季節(jié)、泛指的上午、下午、晚上。這里April四月，故答案為in。

【4】

考查冠詞。短語(yǔ)take a look at表示“看一看”，故答案為a。

【5】

考查名詞單復(fù)數(shù)。hundred與of連用時(shí)，應(yīng)使用復(fù)數(shù)形式，故答案為hundreds。

【6】

考查名詞。該空受his修飾，應(yīng)為名詞，故答案為decision。

【7】

考查不定式。would like to do表示“愿意做……”，故答案為to help。

【8】

考查副詞。can’t (help)在此處為謂語(yǔ)，應(yīng)該用副詞修飾，譯為確實(shí)不能幫忙，故答案為simply。

【9】

考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。由but連接的另一個(gè)并列動(dòng)詞為wishes,時(shí)態(tài)應(yīng)保持一致，故答案為doubts。

【10】

考查定語(yǔ)從句。該句為限定性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為表示人的landlord，且連接詞在從句中作主語(yǔ)，故答案為who/that。

此題的第一空為難點(diǎn)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知詞句為復(fù)合句，主句為Nathan Nichols, of South Portland, wrote on Facebook.

而the tenants are service and hourly workers,是write的賓語(yǔ)從句。其中住在他的兩個(gè)單元的租戶是做定語(yǔ)，修飾the tenants，再根據(jù)live與其邏輯主語(yǔ)tenants為主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故答案為 living。
