Answer 1

分析 这篇短文主要讲了一只蚂蚁和一只鸽子互相帮助的故事．炎热的一天一只蚂蚁为了找水喝不慎掉到了水里．一只鸽子路过把一片叶子扔给蚂蚁，于是蚂蚁得救了．就在那个时候一个猎人想捕杀这只鸽子，聪明的蚂蚁咬了猎人的脚后跟，猎人感到疼痛，丢了枪，于是鸽子也得救了．

解答 66．looking  根据后面的介词for，并联系后面的名词water可知，应用固定短语look for意为寻找（水）；又由于前面有系动词was，可知这里应该用过去进行时表示正在寻找水，结构为be+doing．故填写looking．
67．for 根据关键词some time，意为一段时间，可知应和介词for一起连用表时间段．故填写for．
68．While 根据前后两个句子…the ant was making her way up，she fell into the water．的关系对比，可知蚂蚁往上爬和掉进水里这两个动作是同时发生的．又由于前句用的是过去进行时，可知此处应用连词while表示当…的时候．故填写while．
69．nearby 根据对上下文的理解及关键词saw可推知如果这只鸽子离蚂蚁很远它不可能看到蚂蚁，所以可以判断鸽子在附近的树上．故填写形容词nearby．
70．quickly 根据关键句子When the dove saw that the ant was in trouble可推测到当鸽子看到蚂蚁处在麻烦中很危急的情况下应该是迅速的摘下树叶，所以应该用副词quickly修饰picked off．故填写quickly．
71．it 根据前面出现的名词a leaf，可知这里还是指这片树叶，所以应用单数it代指这片树叶．故填写it．
72．and 根据The ant moved towards the leaf 和climbed up there前后句的对比，我们推断它们之间是并列关系，所以要用and连接．故填写and．
73．what 观察所在句子，抓住关键词what，我们知道后面引导了一个宾语从句，指发现的内容；再观察后面的句子the hunter was going to do，侧重于指这个猎人将要做什么，强调内容，所以应用what来代指所要做的事情．故填写what．
74．him 根据前句中的the hunter 一词，可以推断应该是蚂蚁咬这个猎人的脚后跟，所以应该用he的宾格形式him代指猎人．故填写him．
75．dropped 根据前一句的描述Feeling the pain并联系下文The dove was quick to fly away to safety．可以推测是因为猎人感觉疼痛，才会丢掉手枪，鸽子才会飞到安全地带；又由于这里应该用一般过去时，所以drop的过去式应写为dropped．故填写dropped．

点评 这是一篇记叙文的完型填空题．做题时先不带答案把短文读一遍了解其大意．然后结合选项，仔细读与之相关的每一个句子，并一定要结合上下文的语境，善于抓住关键词和关键句子，尤其是前后呼应的部分，把答案一一填入正确的位置，确保每个空的填写都要有根据．最后根据答案再复读校正即可．
