5、【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了帮助他人忘掉不快乐的记忆的四条建议。1hopefully 解析：考查副词。空处修饰后面的整个句子，故用副词形式。2what 解析：考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导宾语从句，且在从句中作动词 forget的宾语，故用 what引导该宾语从句，表示随着时间流逝，这个人就不会记得他应当忘记的事情了。3personal 解析：考查形容词。空处修饰名词 objects，故用形容词形式。句意：任何小物件都能唤起记忆，所以小心地用新物品替换任何照片、日记或其他个人的物品或礼物。4an 解析：考查冠词。不要以一种明显的方式做这件事，因为这很烦人。该处表示2“一种明显的方式”
6、 ，表示泛指，故用不定冠词；obvious 的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。5intention 解析：考查名词。根据空前的形容词性物主代词 your可知，该处用名词形式。句意：不要以明显的方式来做这件事情，因为这很烦人，但要在他(朋友)没有意识到你的意图的情况下做这件事情。6amusing 解析：考查形容词。根据空后的名词 stories可知，空处修饰该名词，故用形容词形式 amusing。句意：讲一些有趣的故事，或者谈谈你朋友的生活中重要和快乐的事情，比如刚出生的侄子或者工作晋升。7activities 解析：考查名词复数。根据该句中的“and appointments”可知，空处与此并列
7、，应用名词的复数形式。句意：使他忙于活动和约会。8to think 解析：考查固定搭配。too.to.为固定搭配，意为“太而不能” 。句意：让他忙得无法想起往事，这有助于让他看到积极之光。9before 解析：考查连词。句意：通常很长的一段时间之后，你的朋友才会完全忘掉这段记忆，所以如果他没有马上忘掉这段记忆，你不要失望。It will be一段时间before.表示“多久之后才” ，故用连词 before。10disappointed 解析：考查形容词。空处所在句为祈使句，系动词 be后接形容词，且修饰人，故用 disappointed。inform vt.告知；通知(1)inform sb

26、所有你想种的树，所以要选择能在你所能提供的条件中良好生长的树。空后内容围绕“空间”展开，故 C项与此处匹配。4B 根据空前一句“If you plant a tree yourself, carefully follow the instructions given by the nursery or readHow to Plant a Tree”可知，自己种树时遵循指南很重要，空处承接上文，故选项 B与此处匹配。5D 空前一句讲的是种好树后适当的照料很重要，空后一句叙述了具体的照料方法，空处连接上下文；末句中的“Mature plants”与此处形成对比，由此可推断空处讲的是对未成熟的植株
27、的照料需要花一段时间，故选项 D与此处匹配。7concentrate on 集中；全神贯注于(1)concentrate(sth.)on(doing)sth.集中于/专心于某事concentrate ones attention/efforts/thoughts/energy on.把某人的注意力/努力/思想集中到be concentrated on/upon sth.be fixed onbe focused on 集中于/专心于某事be concentrated in/on/around.集中在；汇集于(2)fix ones attention onfocus onbe absorbed/

34、y way latelater himherto school，feeling that I could offer some help in time.happilyhappy第一处：AndBut。考查连词。前后句之间是转折关系，故用 But。第二处：happenhappened。考查时态。根据上文中的“I went on foot”可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，应该用一般过去时。第三处：crossescrossing。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，cross 与 A middleaged woman之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词形式。第四处：thatwhat。考查名词性从
35、句。这里指“看到现场发生的事情” 。此处在句中引导宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，表示“的事情” ，故用 what。第五处：rush 前加 a。考查冠词。此处指作者冲向那位女士以提供帮助。make a rush for“冲向，奔向”是固定搭配。第六处：删除 out后的 of。考查固定搭配。一位路人拿出他的手机并给警察打了电话。get“取来，拿来” ，是及物动词，其后可直接接宾语；out 在此为副词。而 get out of sth.意为“离开(某地)，摆脱，放弃” ，显然不符合此处的语境。故 of多余。第七处：safesafety。考查名词。此处充当介词的宾语，应该用名词形式。safety“安全9
36、的地方” 。第八处：latelater。考查副词。虽然 late和 later都可用作副词，但前者表示“迟，晚” ，后者表示“后来，随后” 。根据句意可知，应将 late改为 later。第九处：himher。考查代词。此处指的是救护车将那个受伤的女士带去了医院，故应用her。第十处：happilyhappy。考查形容词。feel 是系动词，其后应用形容词作表语。His discussion with his new boss，Hu Xin(HX)，_was to_ strongly _influence_ his life as a journalist.他与他的新老板胡新的讨论对他的记者生
37、涯必将产生重要影响。be to do句型在本句中表示“注定会；一定” 。be to do句型的含义：(1)预先安排好的计划或约定。(2)表示说话人的意图、职责、义务、命令等情感意义。(3)表示注定要发生或一定会发生的事情。(4)用于条件状语从句，表示“如果想；设想” 。Every member of the party was _to pay_ (pay) his own expense.参加晚会的所有人费用自理。If you are _to succeed_ (succeed)，you have to make more efforts.如果你想成功的话，你必须更加努力。The talk w
38、ith his beloved teacher was _to change_ (change) his life.和他深爱的老师的谈话注定会改变他的生活。The letter is _to be handed_ (hand) to him in person.这封信必须亲手交给他。He admitted that he knew the man who _was supposed to have_ bribed him，but denied that he had ever taken any money.他承认他认识那个行贿人，但他否认接受过贿赂。be supposed to do 被认为
39、；应该(should)。如果不定式动作发生在以前，要用 be supposed to have done 形式，意为“被认为做过某事” 。was/were supposed to do sth.is/are supposed to have done sth.should have done sth.本该做某事suppose/supposing/provided/providing.假如，假设10I suppose so.我看行吧；我想是的。I dont suppose so.I suppose not.我看不行；我想不是这样。Everybody _is supposed_ (suppose)
