39、you should also be positive about school, work and life.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“佛系”这一网络流行语的来历及含义,告诫我们:对失败可以保持“佛系”的心态,但是对学习、工作和生活应当拥有积极向上的态度。1an考查冠词。根据语境可知,该处泛指“一个网络俚语”,故用不定冠词;且Internet的发音以元音音素开头,故用an。2in考查介词。根据固定搭配in other words“换句话说”可知,此处应用介词in。3was created考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,该句主语“The word”为单数和creat
40、e之间是被动关系,故用被动语态;根据句中的“in 2014”可知,此处应用一般过去时,故应填was created。4being disturbed考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,该句主语“They”和disturb之间为被动关系,故用被动语态;再分析该句结构可知,空处作介词“without”的宾语,故用动名词的被动语态。5who考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为those“那些人”,空处在从句中作主语,故用who引导该定语从句。6worried考查形容词。主语是人,feel是系动词,应用worried“担心的”。7reality考查名词。根据空前的“reflects (考虑) the”可推知,空处应用其名词形式。8to fight考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,空处作名词“will”的后置定语,故用动词不定式。9simply考查副词。空处修饰because引导的从句,故用其副词形式simply“只不过,仅仅”。10but考查连词。空处上文句意:你可能想要对失败保持冷静;空处下文句意:你也应该对学习、工作和生活拥有积极向上的态度;据此可以推断,空处前后为转折关系,故用but。
