11.Today,roller skating is easy and fun.But a long time ago,it wasn't easy at all.Before 1750,the idea of skating didn't exist.That changed because of a man(33)named(name)Joseph Merlin.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball.He was very pleased and a little excited.(34)As the day of the party came near,Merlin began to think (35)how to make a grand entrance at the party.He had an idea.He thought he(36)would get(get) a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself (37)roll(roll).Finally,he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.These were the first roller skates.Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party(38)on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin.Everyone(39)was amazed (amaze) to see him.There was just one problem.Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.He rolled on and on.Suddenly,he ran into a huge mirror(40)which/that was hanging on the wall.Down fell the mirror,breaking to pieces.Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!
分析 本文介绍了滑旱冰的由来.很久以前,一个名叫Joseph Merlin的人应邀参加一化妆舞会,他很兴奋,想着以一种独特的方式进入会场以吸引更多人的注意力.他想到手谈小提琴,脚蹬滑轮进入会场,但由于不知如何停下以至于滑行了好久撞到了一面镜子才停了下来而给人留下深刻印象.
解答 33.named a man与Joseph Merlin之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用过去分词短语作定语,表示"一个名叫Joseph Merlin的人";故答案为named.
34.As 本句为一时间状语从句,表示随着晚会日期的临近,用as来引导,表示"随着…,当…的时候";故答案为As.
35.how 这是疑问词+不定式作动词think宾语的用法,考虑的自然是如何才能在晚会上有个独特的入场方式;故答案为how.
36.would get 根据后面的条件状语从句if he could skate into the room可知,如果能够滑行着进入现场将能够吸引别人的注意,表示过去将来;故答案为would get.
37.roll 使役动词make后面要用省略to的不定式作宾语补足语;故答案为roll.
38.on 由前面一句he decided to put two wheels under each shoe可知,他应该是想象着谈着小提琴蹬着滑轮进入会场;即on wheels;故答案为on.
39.was amazed be amazed to do sth很吃惊的做某事,结合文章的时态为过去时可知答案为was amazed.
40.which/that 划线处后面的句子缺少主语,结合前面的a huge mirror可知,应该是一个定语从句,用that或者which引导,修饰先行词a huge mirror;故答案为which/that.
