1.考查连词。“Whether he’s driving a tractor____1____is standing in the fields, Kiyoto is always wearing an elegant suit.”句意为不管他是开拖拉机或是站在田野里，Kiyoto总是带着优雅的套装。表达“或”这种意思用or,故填or。

2.考查动词时态。“but as a teenager he ____2____(find) the tradition boring and moved to the city. ”句意为但是当他是个青少年的时候发现这种传统的无趣并搬到了城市。可知这件事发生在过去，所以用动词的过去式，故填found。

3.考查动词时态。“He returned to his native town two years ago,____3____(determine) to get involved in the family business.”句意为两年前他回到故乡，决心涉足家族企业。由 two years ago可知此处应该用动词的过去式，故填determined 。

4.考查定冠词。Idea特指“wearing a suit in the fields”在田野里穿西装。所以在idea前面加定冠词the。故填the。

5.考查副词。“but Kyioto took it____5____(serious). ”句意为但Kyioto却当真了。修饰动词应该用副词，此句中修饰动词took应该用serious的副词形式，故填seriously。

6.考查固定搭配。think of somebody as...意为认为某人是...,为固定搭配，句意为大多数人认为农民整天脏兮兮的。故填as。、

7.考查固定搭配。Seemed to do sth ,意为似乎要做某事，为固定搭配。句意：起初似乎没有人理解他。故填to understand。

8.考查名词。“Even his family was surprised by his____8____(choose) of farming attire.”句意为甚至他的家人都对他选择的农场装束感到惊讶。他的选择，“选择”应该用名词形式，故填choice。

9.考查固定搭配。Worry doing sth，意为担心做某事，为固定搭配。句意为他的祖父担心穿着西装做农活会很危险。故填doing。

10.考查动词时态。“He also has a blog where he regularly____10____(post) his farming experiences and photos of himself all dressed up.”他也有一个博客，他定期张贴自己的农业经验和装扮照片。由“regularly”经常，可知应该用动词的一般现在时，因为主语是he，所以谓语应该用第三人称单数形式，故填posts。

语法填空的解题技巧
 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力。我们在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，有把握的空格可以进行填写。在读懂的基础上，再结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析逐题解答。按题型设计分三种情况：
1. 纯空格试题的解题技巧
首先分析句子结构，根据所缺成分确定哪类词。然后，根据句子意思，确定具体填什么词，或根据两句间的逻辑关系确定具体用哪个连词。比如第一小题： Whether he’s driving a tractor____1____is standing in the fields, Kiyoto is always wearing an elegant suit.考查连词。“Whether he’s driving a tractor____1____is standing in the fields, Kiyoto is always wearing an elegant suit.”句意为不管他是开拖拉机或是站在田野里，Kiyoto总是带着优雅的套装。表达“或”这种意思用or,故填or。

2.给出了动词的试题解题技巧
首先，判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。若句子没有别的谓语动词或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系，所给动词就是谓语动词，若是谓语动词就要考虑时态和语态；若句子有谓语动词则用非谓语动词（动词不定式、现在分词、动名词和过去分词）。比如第七小题：At first no one seemed____7____(understand) him.考查固定搭配。Seemed to do sth ,意为似乎要做某事，为固定搭配。句意：起初似乎没有人理解他。故填to understand。

3. 词汇转换题解题技巧
这类题主要考查名词、形容词和副词。比如第五小题：but Kyioto took it____5____(serious).考查副词。“but Kyioto took it____5____(serious). ”句意为但Kyioto却当真了。修饰动词应该用副词，此句中修饰动词took应该用serious的副词形式，故填seriously。
