24、ing形式作主语，谓语动词使用单数形式。3an解析：考查冠词。过去十年里，美国人平均开6英里的车程以往返于家和最近的杂货店。an average of“平均”。4especially解析：考查副词。此处指特别是住在南方的美国乡下人，especially“特别；尤其”。5longer解析：考查形容词比较级。根据上下文语境及空前的“much”可知，此处指美国乡下人，特别是住在南方的美国乡下人去购物的旅途更远，故使用比较级形式。6serving解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，find为谓语动词，one supermarket与serve之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处应用动词ing形式作后置定

29、pend on for a living; the same time, he provides us with clean surroundings. His optimistic to life inspires me to work hard to achieve my own dream.1smile前加a考查冠词。smile为可数名词，前面要加不定冠词。2earlyearlier考查形容词比较级用法。前面有six oclock，后面说“甚至比这还要早”，因此应该是比较级。3workingwork考查非谓语动词。begin to do意思是“开始做某事”，to为不定式符号。4thehi
