Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的单词（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Many couples are quite puzzled about this question.How can lovers be devoted to each other for long? Actually, they just complain about their marriage to their partners all the time,not【1】(know) how to deal with the marriage crisis.

“Before we were【2】(marry),my husband was a caring man,“a wife once told me.“It seemed that he would love me till the end of the world.Since we got married,he【3】(become) a lazy bone.He watches ball games more than he watches me.He has changed so much that I can【4】(hard) bear him.”

“Very funny,”answered the husband.“But have you looked at yourself lately?Several years ago,you were very beautiful.Now you wear that old dress.If I've changed from【5】energetic man to a lazy one,then you've changed yourself from a【6】(beauty) lady to an ugly one.”This hurtful but childish【7】(argue) shows how couples, instead of looking for love,may look for all the【8】(fault) that his/her partner has in their daily life.

Honestly speaking,how we see our partners often depends more【9】how we are than how they are.It is a way of seeing.Husbands and wives are not audience【10】participant observers in each other’s life.Remember that the law of lasting love is to look at your lover with love.

【解析】试题分析：许多人经常抱怨他们的伴侣，不知道如何处理婚姻危机。文章通过举例说明丈夫和妻子是彼此生活的参与者而不是观众。

【1】考查非谓语动词。“not___1___(know) how to deal with the marriage crisis”作伴随状语，与主语they是主动关系，用现在分词做伴随状语。故填knowing。

【2】考查动词。bemarried既可以表示状态(指处于已婚的状态),也可以表示动作(有时侧重指举行婚礼的仪式)。根据语境，此处表示状态。故填married。

【3】考查动词。句意：自从我们结婚以来，他就成了一个懒虫。根据since引导的时间状语从句可知，become表示从过去一直延续到现在的动作，用现在完成时，主语he是第三人称单数。故填has become。

【4】考查副词。句意：他改变如此多以至于我几乎不能容忍他。hardly“几乎不”。故填hardly。

【5】考查冠词。句意：如果我从一个精力充沛的人变成了一个懒惰的人，那么你自己就从一个漂亮的女士变成了一个丑陋的人。man是可数名词，energetic“经历充沛的”以元音音素开头。故填an。

【6】考查形容词。修饰名词用形容词作定语，beautiful修饰lady作定语。故填beautiful。

【7】考查名词。句意：这些伤人但是幼稚的争论表明夫妇俩，不是在寻找爱，而是在寻找伴侣在日常生活中的错误。空格处是主语，作主语用名词。由this推断用单数。故填argument。

【8】考查名词。冠词修饰名词，fault“错误是可数名词，由all修饰用复数。故填faults。

【9】考查介词。句意：诚实地说，我们如何看待我们的伴侣经常更多地取决于我们是怎样而不是他们是怎样的。depend on“取决于”是常用搭配。故填on。

【10】考查并列连词。句意：丈夫和妻子在彼此的生活中不是观众而是参与者。not…but…“不是……而是……”是常用搭配，上下文是转折关系。故填but。
