Answer 1

【答案】

1.it。

【解析】在宾语从句中作形式主语，真正的主语是to choose…。

2.to please。

【解析】在形容词后作状语，只能用动词不定式。

3.a。

【解析】表示“一次”愉快的经历。

4.pushed。

【解析】与stepped并列，也用一般过去时。

5.where。

【解析】因两句之间没有连词，必定是填连词；后句是定语从句，要填的词在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。

6.choice。

【解析】在形容词性物主代词后一定是用名词形式。

7.on。

【解析】因表示“出售”的on sale是固定搭配。

8.him。

【解析】给父亲买礼物，根据常识应是使父亲高兴，作宾语用代词。please him /father使他高兴。

9.at。

【解析】名词（table）在句中不作主语，也不作动词的宾语，很可能就是作介词的宾语；由having supper可知，填at；因为at table表示“在餐桌边，在进餐”，也是习惯搭配。

10.was informed。

【解析】因Jane与inform是被动关系，又是一般过去时。

【点评】

*1. 语法填空和完形填空，与早两年的高考题相比，似乎都容易得多，增加了固定搭配，语境需求也没那么要求强烈，只看空格句，一般都可做出正确的答案来。

*2. 与我们平时预测结果完全一致：在语法填空中不会要求考生根据上下文来填写一个名词、动词、拼写较长的形容词或副词，因为这是完形填空要解决的问题。可是在有的模拟题中还有这类现象，望命题人在今后的命题中要搞清各大题的高计意图和不同功能。

*3. 关于命题材料的来源，我们发现（2007和2008年广东高考英语从完形到写作的材料都来自网上）后，今年终于避开了网络。笔者认为，这是没有必要的。

其实，避开不从外国网站去打原材料而是从大家都用来设计试题的用过的材料,又拿来命高考题这才是大错特错的。如本题的材料在几百个网上都有，在高一测试中有人用过，在大学四级、六级训练中用过，几乎在各类考试中都用过。
