【分析】
拿到这类选词填空题,首先第一步先梳理方框内所有备选词/短语的词义、词性和常见变形:quite(副词,相当)、as(可作连词/介词,表因为、如同等)、familiar(形容词,熟悉的)、join(动词,加入)、rather(副词,反而、相当)、because of(介词短语,因为)。之后逐句分析:先判断空格所需的词性,再结合句子语义、固定搭配筛选合适的词,必要时转换词形,同时排除多余的未用到的词汇即可。
【解析】
1. 句子中已有助动词did,助动词后必须接动词原形,结合后文“the sports club(运动俱乐部)”和答句“成为它的成员”的语义,表达“加入俱乐部”的含义,因此填动词原形join。
2. 空格前是形容词性物主代词her,物主代词后必须接名词,给出的形容词familiar需要转换为名词形式familiarity,构成固定搭配one's familiarity with sth,意为“某人对某物的熟悉”,符合句意“她对中国习俗礼仪的熟悉让她在旅途中感到放松”。
3. 前半句语义为“他没有为迟到道歉”,后半句语义为“他责怪我没有提醒他”,前后是反向递进的逻辑,副词rather此处表示“反而、相反”,符合逻辑,因此填rather。
4. 空格后是名词短语“the sudden change in weather conditions(天气的突变)”,并非完整句子,表原因且后接名词成分需要用介词短语because of,置于句首首字母大写,因此填Because of。
5. 空格后是完整的句子“time cannot be won again(时间不会重来)”,表原因引导原因状语从句需要用连词as,符合句意“珍惜每一刻,因为时间无法重来”,因此填as。
【答案】
1. join 2. familiarity 3. rather 4. Because of 5. as

【点评】
本题属于基础的选词填空题,综合考查了动词搭配、形容词到名词的变形、逻辑副词用法,以及because of和as表原因时的用法差异,学生解题时要先通过空格前后的成分判断所需词性,再结合语义筛选,尤其要注意区分表原因的表达后接名词还是完整句子,避免混淆。
