二、固定搭配法

固定搭配主要是考查学生对语言知识的熟悉程度和实际语言运用的能力。所以，我们应学好基础知识，牢固掌握短语以及常用搭配并结合实际多加练习。

A man was taking his old mother to a home for old people.He wanted her to have the 1 one,so he tested many of them.One day he came to a home and the manager wanted to show him 2.He asked his mother to 3.

The old woman sat there for a while and then she suddenly started to lean（倾斜）over to the 4 side.A nurse ran to her，moved her up and 5 a pillow at her left side.After a short while the old woman started to lean towards the right side.Of course the 6hurried to put another pillow at her right side.Just a little while longer and the mom now started to lean forward.She was propped up（支撑）again by the nurse.

Now the son came back.He had 7 that this home was nearly the best.The 8 was also low.

"Mom," he said,"I really think you will be happy here!What do you say?"

The mother said,"I do not want to stay here!" The man was 9 and said,"But this is just the place you like.You will be 10 well here."

“I will not stay here—they don't allow me to fart（放屁）！”

解析 本文讲述了一位男士想把母亲送到一家最好的养老院，有一天，当他终于找到一家他自认为最好的养老院时，老母亲却有不同的观点。

1.C 由本句中的“...so he tested many of them”以及第三段中的“...was nearly the best”可知答案为C。

2.C 本题是固定搭配题。show sb around...“带某人到四周看看，带某人参观……”。

3.B 由第二段第一句中的“The old woman sat there for a while...”可知答案为B。

4.A 由下一句中的“at her left side”可推知，老妇人的身体向左倒了。

5.D 本题是固定搭配题。老人身体向左倒，说明护士为了让老人不倒，应该是在其左侧放置一个枕头。place “放置”与pillow搭配，符合文意。

6.B 由上下文可知，帮助老人的还是那名护士。

7.D 由上下文内容可推知，这家养老院应该是最好的一家养老院了。

8.A 由本句中low “低的”可知，“价格”只有“高”“低”之分。

9.C 由上下文可知，儿子对母亲不愿待在这里感到“吃惊”。故答案为C。

10.D 句意为“在这里你会受到很好的照顾”。故答案为D。
