【分析】
这是一篇记叙文体的选词填空题,解题时首先要通读整篇短文,梳理清楚文章讲述的作者童年热爱阅读、没钱购置书籍,在书店店主的善意帮助下免费阅读,最终成为校园优秀作家的故事主旨。接下来对应两组备选词逐一匹配空格:先结合空格前后的语法要求、上下文语境判断所需单词的词义,再根据时态、人称、词性变化规则调整为正确形式,最后把填完的短文通读一遍,检查逻辑和语法是否通顺,避免出现搭配错误。
【解析】
1. 空前是介词to,介词后需接人称代词的宾格形式,指代“我”,因此主格I变为宾格me,句意为“这些书给我带来了一个美妙的世界”。
2. 前文提到父母负担不起很多书,因此需要自己解决这个“问题”,solve the problem是固定搭配,直接填名词problem。
3. 后文出现了“I walked into the bookshop”的对应表述,可知此处指我家附近有一家书店,填名词bookshop。
4. 空前的and连接并列谓语动词,前面的walked是一般过去时,因此pick up也要变为过去式picked up,句意为“我走进书店拿起一本书”。
5. a few是固定搭配,修饰可数名词复数pages,表示“几页”,填few。
6. 该空放在句首修饰整个句子“没人注意到我”,需要把形容词lucky变为副词Luckily,首字母大写,意为“幸运的是”。
7. 整个故事发生在过去,要用一般过去时,come up的过去式是came up,句意为“店主走过来问我”。
8. 此处引导条件状语从句,句意为“如果你帮我打扫店铺,你可以在这里读书”,填连词if。
9. 空处作表语修饰人的感受,要把动词excite变为形容词excited,表示“感到兴奋的”。
10. borrow sth. from...是固定搭配,意为“从……借某物”,填介词from。
【答案】
1. me
2. problem
3. bookshop
4. picked up
5. few
6. Luckily
7. came up
8. if
9. excited
10. from
