Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述作者的父親在一次礦難中被埋在隧道里，沒有食物，只得喝水充饑，相互擁抱取暖．最后，隧道被挖通，才得被救出．

解答 41．retired 考查過去分詞．過去分詞作定語表示"完成"，retired意為"退休的；退職的"．
42．enjoying 考查現(xiàn)在分詞．we與enjoy之間是主謂關(guān)系，用現(xiàn)在分詞短語enjoying the cool air作伴隨狀語．
43．unfortunate 考查形容詞．根據(jù)句意：一件不幸的事突然發(fā)生了．用形容詞unfortunate．
44．to eat 考查動詞不定式．此處動詞不定式作后置定語修飾food．
45．or 考查固定搭配．whether…or…意為"是…還是…； 或者…或者…"，是固定搭配．
46．would die 考查動詞時態(tài)．在賓語從句中，主句是一般過去時，從句只能用過去的某種時態(tài)，此處應(yīng)用過去將來時．
47．was dug 考查動詞時態(tài)和語態(tài)．the tunnel與dig之間是動賓關(guān)系，要用被動語態(tài)，且全文講述的是已發(fā)生的事情，用一般過去時，此處用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)．
48．so 考查固定搭配．if so意為"要是這樣"，是固定搭配，so指代 they weren't let out at once．
49．where 考查定語從句．分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句，先行詞the tunnel在從句中作地點狀語，用關(guān)系副詞where．
50．on/with 考查介詞．feed with/on意為"提供（某物）"，是固定搭配．

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇（短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白，部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式，要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式，所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞．要做好語法填空題，理解短文是解題的前提，扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎(chǔ)，英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充．考生須靈活運用語法知識，如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
