【文章大意】一定要记住爱你的人, 这样你就能够在假日开开心心地生活。
1. 【解析】different。此处考查形容词用法。考查点:不定代词+形容词。也可根据and连接两个并列成分来做题, special是形容词, 所以用形容词different。句意是“期望不同的事”。因此需要形容词作后置定语修饰不定代词, 故填different。
2. 【解析】to happen。此处考查不定式的复合结构。不定式作expect 的补足语, 符合expect sb. /sth. to do的结构, 故填to happen。
3. 【解析】presents。此处考查名词单复数。句意:孩子们渴望收到亲戚送的心仪的礼物。由kids和relatives可知此处表示复数概念, 应填presents。
4. 【解析】preferences。此处考查名词的用法。前面and表示并列, 所以使用名词。句意:现代人有新的传统、价值观和爱好。
5. 【解析】will last。此处考查动词时态。句意:尊重父母和祖父母的传统将永远持续, 故使用一般将来时, 填will last。
6. 【解析】best。此处考查形容词最高级。句意:祖父母的房子似乎是休闲和表现自如的最佳地方。前面有the, 故填best。
7. 【解析】spent。此处考查非谓语动词。句意:花在和祖父母相处上的时间使家庭更巩固和幸福。 句中已有谓语make 故这里使用过去分词表示被动。故填spent。
8. 【解析】tightly。此处考查副词的用法。句意:如果假期计划挤得很满, 修饰动词packed 使用副词。故填tightly。
9. 【解析】to。此处为固定搭配。句意:你没有机会把一天的时间花在家庭的圈子里。 固定短语 devote to。故填to。
10. 【解析】and。此处考查祈使句+and +简单句。 句意:一定要记住爱你的人, 这样你就能够在假日开开心心地生活。故填 and。
