13.About dancing bearsYoung bears are captured in the wild,separated from their mothers,and taught by a trainer to become dancing bears in conditions of unimaginable cruelty.
The young animals are forced on to sheets of really hot metal and,(25)to escape (escape) the pain,the bears alternate lifting up one paw (爪子) and then another while music is played.The process is repeated again and again (26)until/before the animals automatically begin to raise their paws-to"dance"-in fear of the pain,even when there are no metal sheets.
As the bears get older,the trainers keep them under control by imposing pain.They do this by putting rings through the bears'highly sensitive noses and jaws.The pitiful truth is (27)that they are not put to sleep for this painful process.Chains (28)are attached (attach) to the rings so the trainers can control the animals,(29)which weigh up to 350kilograms,with only a slight pull on the chains.
The bears'nails are cut several times a year and their teeth broken or removed in order that they cannot get their trainers (30)injured (injure).The bears also suffer with an inadequate diet usually (31)consisting (consist) of white bread,sugar and cheap fruit juices.All these cause the bears serious physical health problems (32)so that many of them display strange behavior such as swaying (摇摆) and pacing as they cannot follow natural behavioral patterns and instincts.
分析 本文为一篇说明文.介绍了年幼的熊在野生环境中被捉住之后被训熊者进行野蛮训练的场景.在训练的过程中训熊者所采取的手段极其惨无人道、完全不顾熊的安全等因素,肆意践踏熊的健康,为其牟利.这就引起了人类的深思,我们应该呼吁并积极教育人们不要做这些没人性的事,要爱护野生动物.
解答 25.to escape.考查不定式作目的状语.为了减少疼痛,熊的爪子交替抬起.故答案为to escape.
26.until/before.考查连词引导时间状语从句的用法.结合文意可知,这里指的是这个过程不断重复直到熊可以自动抬起爪子.故答案为until/before.
27.that.考查表语从句及从句连接词的选择.The painful truth is后面缺少表语,空后面是they are not put to sleep for this painful process,是一个完整的句子,不缺主宾表成分,故选择连接词that来引导表语从句.
28.are attached.考查被动语态.attach 是及物动词,用法为sb.attach A to B,对应的被动为A be attached to B表示"依附于",本文中指的是链子与铃铛相连,故答案为are attached.
29.which.考查非限制性定语从句.先行词为the animals,意思是重达350公斤的熊.故答案为which.
30.injured.考查get sth./sb.done 的用法,其中的done为过去分词作宾语补足语.如 get sb.killed/punished.此处指的是使训练者受伤;故答案为injured.
31.consisting.考查现在分词作定语.本句有谓语动词suffer,consist不能再作谓语,由句义可知此处"包括白面包、糖和便宜果汁"是来修饰diet作定语的.同时,考生要注意A consist of B,consist要用主动,而非被动.故答案为consisting.
32.so that.考查结果状语从句.这些原因导致了熊的身体问题,结果是表现出了异常的行为.故答案为so that.
点评 对于语法填空的题目要结合文章所描述的核心话题,认真研究不同空格所考查的内容,利用所学的相关语法知识,合理运用相关内容并填入文中再反复检查,通读全文看是否通顺,尤其是要注意非谓语动词的考查,要熟练掌握相关用法,本文与熊的生活习性有关,需要学生掌握一定的这方面的知识.
