天天向上 · 阅读：单词填空
PET / B1 · Reading Part 6 · 本站原创学习材料
对应 Reading Part 6：短文 6 个空格，每空只填一个词，不给选项。
学习范围：Cambridge B1 Preliminary for Schools。本站材料不等同于官方试卷。
学习方法
预测缺少哪类词：先看空格在句子中的位置：是介词、代词、助动词，还是连接词？
读空格两边的结构：冠词看后面的发音，助动词看主语和动词，关系词看先行词和从句缺什么。
放回全文检查意思：一个语法上成立的词也可能不符合这段话。留意前后指代和事件关系。
An email about a new club
Hi Maya,
I have been a member of our school walking club [1] January, and I am really enjoying it. Last weekend, it took us half [2] hour to reach an old castle on a hill outside town. The guide told us about the people [3] had lived there hundreds of years ago.
The climb was longer [4] I expected, but the view from the top was worth it. You do not have to be especially fit to join the club: we always wait for each [5], and there are plenty of stops. Our teacher says that [6] it rains heavily next Saturday, we will visit the local museum instead of walking outside. Otherwise, we will explore the forest path near the river.
Would you like to come with us? Ella

参考答案与证据

January 是开始时间点，持续到现在，用 since。
I have been a member … [1] January
2. an
half an hour 是半小时；hour 的 h 不发音，以元音音素开头，用 an。
it took us half [2] hour
3. who / that
先行词 people 指人，关系词作从句主语；who 和 that 都可接受。
the people [3] had lived there
4. than
longer 是比较级，用 than 引出比较对象。
The climb was longer [4] I expected
5. other
each other 表示彼此，符合步行团互相等候的语境。
we always wait for each [5]

[6] it rains heavily … Otherwise, we will explore the forest path
