5、interested in 对感兴趣。8boring此处boring作find的宾语补足语。9either由I cant help it，可知，此处表示也不(either)。10must/may考查情态动词。广东省语法填空阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。A London-based translation firm is offering parents-to-be the chance to check the meaning of prospective baby names in other languages

10、ompany admits，_10_ as Jermajesty the name of Michael Jackson s brother Jermaines son.1解析考查词性转换。空格前为形容词修饰语，而且此处是cause sb.sth.的结构，因此断定此处需要填名词，embarrass的名词形式为embarrassment。答案embarrassment2解析结合语境考查形容词性物主代词。名词前设空答案首先考虑限定词，因为上文提到“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes”，所以用their，意为“他们的女儿”。此处表示“名人夫妇Tom Cruise和Katie Ho
11、lmes要是知道Suri这个名字在其他语言里的意义的话，他们也许会三思后再起名字了”。答案their3解析结合语境考查动词的时态。由上文“might have thought”可知，条件句中应用“had过去分词”。答案had known4解析结合语境考查介词。此处for表示交换，此处表示公司给你提供名字方面的调查服务是要收取一定的服务费的。答案For5解析结合语境考查现在分词作伴随状语。文章中的“_5_(check)their meaning in 100 languages”作伴随状语；设空处的动词与主句的主语是逻辑上的主谓关系，所以用check的现在分词形式。答案checking6解析结合
12、语境考查代词的用法。空格位于宾语从句的谓语动词之前，因此此处需要能作主语的名词或代词。上文刚出现过the firm，所以此处用it来代替它。答案it7解析考查which引导的非限制性定语从句。此处which引导的定语从句是修饰Kai Rooney这个名字的，which在定语从句中作主语。答案which8解析结合语境考查连词。此处意为“尽管音乐家Gwen Stefani和Gavin Rossdale也许知道Zuma在阿拉伯语中的意思是和平，但是他们也许不知道”。前后两个分句之间有逻辑上的让步关系，故此处应填While/Although/Though。答案While/Although/Though
13、9解析结合语境考查“连词分词”型省略句。连词后设空且给出动词提示词，这时要首先考虑动词和句子主语的关系，若是主谓关系就用现在分词，此处主语和choose之间就是主谓关系。答案choosing10解析结合语境考查such as的用法。此处such as用于列举事物。句意：然而有些名人的孩子的名字不好翻译，例如乔丹的弟弟的儿子的名字Jermajesty就不好翻译。答案such阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。【2014南昌市高三第三次模拟测试】Millions of people are using cell phones today.In many
