分析 全文主要講述臉書首席執(zhí)行官扎克伯格宣布,自己第一個(gè)孩子出生;同時(shí)他也宣布成立陳•扎克伯格計(jì)劃.這份聲明由扎克伯格和妻子普莉希拉•陳共同書寫,被當(dāng)做送給新出生女兒的一封信.陳•扎克伯格計(jì)劃將致力于"個(gè)性化學(xué)習(xí)、治療疾病、聯(lián)系他人和建立強(qiáng)大的社區(qū)"上.
解答 61.to honor 考查動(dòng)詞不定式.此處動(dòng)詞不定式表示目的.
62.creation 考查名詞.the后接名詞,動(dòng)詞crate的名詞是creattion.
63.which 考查定語從句.分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個(gè)定語從句,先行詞the Chan Zuckerberg Fund指事,在從句中作主語,用關(guān)系代詞which.
64.building 考查動(dòng)名詞.a(chǎn)nd是并列連詞,它前后連接兩個(gè)相同的語法成分,curing,connecting和building是并列關(guān)系,都作focus on的賓語.
65.a(chǎn) 考查冠詞.根據(jù)句意:為了讓你們這一代人能生活在一個(gè)更加美好的世界里.用不定冠詞a.
66.will donate 考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài).根據(jù)下一句"We will give 99% of our Facebook shares"可知,前文應(yīng)一般將來時(shí),即:will donate.
67.currently 考查副詞.介詞要用副詞修飾.形容詞current的副詞是currently.
68.valuable 考查形容詞.mission是名詞,要用形容詞修飾,名詞value的形容詞是valuable.
69.to/with 考查介詞.compare to/with意為"和…比較",是固定搭配.
70.But 考查連詞.根據(jù)句意:我們知道這只是很小的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn),但是我們想盡我們所能地做點(diǎn)事情.前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,用連詞But.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 在一篇200詞左右的語篇(短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白,部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式,要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式,所填寫詞語不得多于3個(gè)單詞.要做好語法填空題,理解短文是解題的前提,扎實(shí)的詞匯、句型和語法知識(shí)是基礎(chǔ),英語國家的背景知識(shí)是必要的補(bǔ)充.考生須靈活運(yùn)用語法知識(shí),如單詞詞性、單詞時(shí)態(tài)、名詞單復(fù)數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容.答完后,還要通讀全文,核對(duì)所填單詞形式是否正確,是否符合語境.
