82、业后,我想改变世界,所以我成为了一名志愿教师,并被派往纳米比亚。语境叙述过去的经历,用一般过去时,主语I与send为被动关系。故填was sent。2.【解析】equally。考查副词。句意:因此,和一群同样热切的年轻毕业生所给词在句中修饰形容词eager,此时用副词equally表示“同样地”。故填equally。3.【解析】had。考查时态。句意:学校里光秃秃的,学生们整天都很累,常常光着脚走好几英里路去上学。由“Schools were quite bare”可知,这里用一般过去时叙述过去发生的动作。故填had。4.【解析】of。考查介词。句意:家里堆积如山的工作、财富和机会都很少,这些
83、孩子都很快乐,我很羡慕他们。mountains of构成的介词短语表示“堆积如山的”。故填of。5.【解析】possessions。考查名词复数。句意:家里堆积如山的工作、财富和机会都很少,这些孩子都很快乐,我很羡慕他们。few修饰名词复数形式。故填possessions。6.【解析】being。考查独立主格结构。句意:这是我第一次生活在一个不同的文化,仅仅适应生活条件是一个很大的调整。这里两个句子之间没有连词,因此这里使用独立主格结构,本空提示词与主语this之间为主动关系,因此填其ing形式。故填being。7.【解析】a。考查冠词。句意:这是我第一次生活在一个不同的文化,仅仅适应生活条件
84、是一个很大的调整。这里表示“一个很大的适应过程”,表示泛指,且big首字母的发音为辅音音素,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。8.【解析】where。考查关系副词。句意:我没有电,没有自来水,没有电话,也没有互联网,想象一下在一个温度经常超过38摄氏度的地方没有空调!分析句子结构可知,这里place为先行词,后面的关系词在从句中作状语表示地点,因此填where。9.【解析】glorious。考查形容词。句意:然而,我可以用非洲壮丽的日落来结束每一天。这里用形容词glorious作定语表示“美丽的,灿烂的”。故填glorious。10.【解析】placed。考查非谓语动词。句意:我的经历不仅让我意识到我们自身的局限性,也让我意识到我们惊人的适应能力。这里用过去分词作定语,表示“被安放在我们自己身上的限制”。故填placed。
