50、文章和标题分离是破坏的一种,故用without。6D剪刀在剪之前“留在原地;保持原状”,故用stay。7A“或者”中途停下来,故用or,表示另一种可能性。8B联系上下文,本题用regretful最符合语境,表示“令人遗憾的”结果。9C两方面都值得你的“关注”,故用attention。10Agive up意为“放弃”,符合语境。11Dleave behind意为“留下,遗留”,符合语境。12C这样你就“陷入困境”,感到沮丧。catch在此表示“陷入(不好的)境况;被缠住”。13BHow comes that是固定句型,意为“怎么会?”14B你的一个选择可能会使你的生活“改变”许多,但不确定是好的
51、变化还是坏的变化,故用change不用improve。15D“生活”就是这样,life最符合语境。16Abe faced with表示“面临;面对”,固定搭配。17Athat引导的从句指代的内容经常会“发生”,故用occur,本句中it为形式主语。18D“前者”可能比后者重要,由latter一词可判断用former。19Astill表示强调。20C一个随意的“选择”也许并不是一个坏选择,故用choice。.语法填空(安徽省江淮十校2018届高三4月第三次联考)In Chinese culture, each year is related to 1._Chinese animal accord
