39、者为she,被施加动作的对象为I,所以不能用反身代词。fight against sb. “和某人打架”,故用代词的宾格形式。2去掉to考查动词。make sb. do sth. “使某人做某事”为固定用法,故去掉to。3unwillinglyunwilling考查形容词。feel为系动词,后接形容词。4serious前加a考查冠词。cold作“感冒”讲时为可数名词,此处表示“患了一次重感冒”,且serious的发音以辅音音素开头,故加冠词a。5advicesadvice考查名词。advice为不可数名词,无复数形式。6BeforeWhen/As考查状语从句的连接词。根据语境可知,此处表示“当我放学回家时”,故应用When或As。7gowent考查动词的时态。根据全文的时态可知,此处表示发生在过去的动作,应用一般过去时。8InWith考查介词。她微笑着对我说,“糖果使我开心,所以我把它们放在这儿让你今天能开心。”with a smile 表示“带着微笑”。9becauseand/so考查连词。根据语境可知,此处为并列或因果关系。10whichthat或去掉which考查定语从句的引导词。先行词被最高级修饰时,关系代词常用that,本句中由于关系代词在定语从句中作动词experienced的宾语,故也可省略关系代词,故把which改为that或去掉which。
