5、Even worse/Worse still。所以填 worse。3to recognize 解析：考查非谓语动词。句型 It takes(took) sb.some time (money) to do sth.意为“做某事需要花费某人一定的时间或金钱” 。所以填 to recognize。4but/yet 解析：考查连词。根据空处前后句子结构可知空处应该填一连词；结合空前的“not a big fan of dancing”和空后的“a big fan of Grandma”可知，空处前后有转折含义。所以填 but/yet。5invitation 解析：考查名词。根据空前的“accepte
6、d her”可知，空处应该是名2词作宾语，意思是“接受她的邀请” 。所以填 invitation。6sitting 解析：考查非谓语动词。从句子结构可知，空处是非谓语动词作后置定语，且主语 an old lady与动词 sit是逻辑上的主谓关系。所以填 sitting。7what 解析：考查疑问代词。根据“疑问代词不定式”结构及空前的 knowing可知，空处应该填疑问代词，意思为“不知道说什么” 。所以填 what。8particularly 解析：考查副词。空后是介词短语 with Grandma，介词短语只能用副词修饰。所以填 particularly。9the 解析：考查冠词。根据句意
7、可知，此处的 party特指上文中的“a dance party”。所以填 the。10her 解析：考查人称代词。根据空前的 losing同时结合句意可知，空处应该填人称代词 she的宾格 her。一高考单词识记思考运用1核心词汇request n. & vt.请求；要求command n. & vt.命令；指令；掌握native adj.本国的；本地的；n本国人；本地人latter adj.较后的；后半的；(两者中)后者的(反义词)former adj.较前的；前半的；(两者中)前者的expression n词语；表示；表达 express vt.表达recognize vt.辨认出；承认
