遵义市中考英语英语 语法填空精选附答案

一、英语语法填空

1．阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形

式。

An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but

most of it was very cheap. The ________ (cheap) thing has a basket of red fruit.

"How much per kilo?" the old man ________ (ask).

"Two rupees (卢比)," the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost

nothing, ________ the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.

However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began ________ (burn), his

eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red ________ the fruit. As he

coughed and struggled to breathe, he jumped up and ________, screaming: "Ah!

Ah! Ah!"

And yet he continued to eat the fruit. Some people who were looking at him

shook their ________ (head) and said, "You are crazy! Those are chili peppers (辣

椒)!You can't just eat them by the handful!"

The old man said to ________ (he),"I paid for them, so I must eat them."

This old man seemed pretty stupid. But are we so much smarter? All of us

have ________ (spend) money and time on something-maybe a relationship, or a

business, or a job-and sometimes, even if we know there's no hope that things

will change, we still continue with it.

What we can learn ________ the old man is this: if you've lost a lot over

something that doesn't work, let it go and move on. It's better than continuing to

lose.

【答案】 cheapest；asked；so；to burn /burning；as；down；heads；

himself；spent；from

【解析】【分析】文章大意：这篇短文主要讲述了一个人因为贪便宜，买了一些根本

不能作为水果的辣椒。结果因为舍不得自己花的那些钱，坚持把它们吃完的故事。从而告

诉我们放弃某些东西比继续损失要好。

（1）句意：最便宜的东西有一篮子红水果。cheap，便宜。根据上文语句but most

of it was very cheap. 提示可知，此句应该用最高级，故填cheapest。

（2）句意：“每公斤多少钱？”老人问。ask，询问，由语句 An old man went

to India. 提示可知此句要用一般过去时，故填asked。

（3）句意：所以这位老人买了整整一公斤，开始吃。语句the old man bought a

whole kilogram and started eating it.是Two rupees in India is almost nothing, 的

结果，故填so。
