题目内容
6.My first insight into the Myanmarese people's respect for elephants came from Ma Lwin,a shopkeeper in a farming village in the western Bago Mountains.It was late afternoon when I arrived,(61)covered (cover) in sand after a long motorcycle ride.Inside Ma Lwin's bamboo house,she offered me hot tea and scolded me for traveling through (62)dangerous(danger) elephant territory(领地).Back when the mountans were covered in forest,she told me,elephants and people had lived(63)in harmony.But now that their habitat(栖息地)was being cut and burned down for rubber plantations,the elephants were forced(64)to walk(walk) long distances searching for food,sometimes threatening farmers in the fields.Even (65)so,the farmers told me they loved the elephants.
That was the beginning of months spent(66)journeying(journey) through forests and villages to document the (67)connection(s)(connect) between people and elephants.During my time there,children in camps played alongside elephants used for logging(采运作业); one day park rangers(护林员)led me toan(69)anelephant giving birth.
Development often(69)gives(give) us the excuse to destroy the environment.As a result,the elephant population has dropped(70)greatly(great).But observing so many people's high regard for elephants i Myanmar gives me hope that they won't be left behind.
分析 本文主要描述缅甸人对大象的尊敬让作者对此有了深刻的理解.过去,山上覆盖着森林,人与大象和谐相处.现在,人们为了种植橡胶园,砍伐树木,大象被迫到很远的地方寻找食物,有时威胁到农民的安全,即使这样,人们仍然喜爱大象.
解答 61.covered 考查过去分词.I与cover之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作状语.
62.dangerous 考查形容词. elephant是名词,要用形容词修饰作定语.
63.in 考查介词.live in harmony意为"和睦相处",是固定搭配.
64.to walk 考查动词不定式.force sb.to do sth.意为"迫使某人做某事",动词不定式作宾语补足语,此处是其被动形式.
65.so 考查固定搭配.even so意为"虽然如此",是固定搭配.
66.journeying 考查动名词.spend time/money (in) doing sth.意为"花费时间(金钱)做某事",其中in可以省略.
67.connection(s) 考查名词.定冠词the后接名词connection,根据上下文语境可用复数形式.
68.an 考查冠词.elephant是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指,因其读音以发元音开头,用不定冠词an.
69.gives 考查主谓一致.主语Development是单数形式,谓语动词也应用单数形式gives.
70.greatly 考查副词.drop是动词,要用副词修饰.
