练习 用make the best of或make the most of填空。
1. We have a short holiday, so let's
make the most of
every day by visiting as many places as we can.
2. I don't feel well, but I
make the best of
the school day by drawing quietly at my desk.
答案：1. make the most of 2. make the best of
解析：
【分析】首先明确两个近义动词短语的核心区别：make the most of侧重充分利用有利的资源（如时间、机会等）；make the best of侧重在不利的状况下尽力充分利用，将不好的情况转化为最优状态。第1题中“short holiday（短假期）”是可利用的时间资源，属于有利的可利用场景；第2题中“don't feel well（身体不适）”是不利状况，需结合语境匹配对应短语。
【解析】1. 句中“short holiday”是可利用的时间资源，对应侧重利用有利资源的短语make the most of，故填该短语。2. 句中“don't feel well”是不利状况，对应侧重在不利情况下充分利用的短语make the best of，故填该短语。
【答案】1. make the most of 2. make the best of
【知识点】动词短语辨析；固定搭配
【点评】本题考查两个近义动词短语的语境用法，需结合句子描述的场景判断适用短语，核心是区分两个短语的使用语境差异，难度适中。

阅读短文，完成下面的表格。
Are you good at shopping? Can you make the best of your money? People often call me a smart shopper. They say I am smart because I always make the best of my money and buy the most suitable things. Here are the ways I do the shopping.
I never buy too many things. I usually make a shopping list when I go shopping. I write down what I need and buy them one by one. And I only buy things I need, not because they're cheap, so I waste no money.
I also make a plan. I know how much money I can use for shopping and seldom spend more than the planned amount.
I shop at the right place and right time. I don't like going to shops with too many people because they make me spend more. And I don't go shopping when I'm tired or hungry, so I don't buy things in a hurry.
If you try my ways, you may become a smart shopper too.
