【分析】
拿到这道短文填空题,首先第一步先通读全文,把握文章主旨是介绍作者对美术的喜爱,确定全文整体为一般现在时的叙事基调。接下来分两类空格推导:无提示词的空格优先考虑固定搭配、逻辑连词、冠词这类虚词考点;有提示词的空格先判断所需词性,结合固定规则、句子成分进行词形变换,最后代入所有答案通读验证语句通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 考查固定短语,for example是固定搭配意为“例如”,放在句首首字母需要大写,因此填For。
2. 考查逻辑连词,前半句表述“我喜欢所有的科目”,后半句表述“我最喜欢的是美术”,前后是转折关系,因此填转折连词but。
3. 考查一般现在时谓语变形,主语it是第三人称单数,全文为一般现在时,谓语动词make要变为第三人称单数形式makes。
4. 考查形容词固定搭配,be interested in是固定短语意为“对……感兴趣”,用于描述人的感受,要把修饰事物的interesting变为interested。
5. 考查名词复数,and并列前后成分,前面的things是可数名词复数,place是可数名词,这里表示各类地点,要变为复数形式places。
6. 考查非谓语动词,spend time (in) doing sth.是固定搭配意为“花费时间做某事”,因此draw要变为动名词drawing。
7. 考查人称代词宾格,动词like后面需要接人称代词宾格作宾语,主格they对应的宾格是them。
8. 考查非谓语动词,want to do sth.是固定搭配意为“想要做某事”,因此填to be。
9. 考查词形转换,系动词is后面需要接形容词作表语,和并列的形容词interesting对应,名词use要变为形容词useful,意为“有用的”。
10. 考查不定冠词,这里表示“我生活的一个重要部分”,important是以元音音素开头的单词,因此填不定冠词an。
【答案】
1.For 2.but 3.makes 4.interested 5.places 6.drawing 7.them 8.to be 9.useful 10.an
【知识点】
固定搭配,词形变换,冠词用法
【点评】
本题是初中低年级的基础短文填空题,考点全部围绕七年级核心基础知识点展开,没有偏难怪的设置,只要学生掌握课内常见的固定短语、基础词性变换规则就能顺利完成,做完后通读全文核对逻辑和语法可以进一步降低出错概率。
