Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

About a hundred and thirty years ago， people at Waikanae， north of Wellington， saw 【1】 great number of strange birds. They were little green birds 【2】 a white ring of feathers round their eyes. Scientists soon found out that these birds 【3】（cross） the Tasman Sea by very strong winds before their arrival.

In the past， the Maoris called the new bird "tauhou"，【4】（they） word for "stranger". Today they are also known 【5】 wax-eyes？ white-eyes， or silver-eyes. Because they can eat all sorts of food？ and because they can live in many 【6】（difference） kinds of places， wax-eyes have increased in number. Now they are found all over New Zealand-along the coasts， on the 【7】（island） ， in the bush， on farms and in city gardens. There are 【8】（probable） more wax-eyes in New Zealand than any other kind of birds.

Usually， you see them in groups，【9】（move） very quickly through bushes and trees. Most of the time as they walk along eating es， they make a high twittering noise，【10】 may help them to recognize each other and to keep the group together.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了惠灵顿北部的一种鸟类，介绍了它们的由来以及特征。

【1】考查冠词。这里考查短语，a number of：许多的，大量的。故填a。

【2】考查介词。句意：它们是绿色的小鸟，眼睛周围有一圈白色的羽毛。此处表示“带有”。故填with。

【3】考查时态。句意：科学家们很快发现，这些鸟在抵达之前就已经通过了塔斯曼海。此处表示“过去的过去”，使用过去完成时。故填had crossed。

【4】考查代词。此处word是名词，由形容词性物主代词修饰名词，they的形容词共性物主代词是their。故填their。

【5】考查固定搭配。固定搭配：be known as“作为…而闻名”。故填as。

【6】考查形容词。句意：许多不同类型的地方。此处kinds“种类”是名词，由形容词修饰。故填different。

【7】考查名词。句意：现在它们遍布新西兰各地——沿海、岛屿、灌木丛、农场和城市花园。“在岛上”，不止一个岛，所以使用名词复数。故填islands。

【8】考查副词。句意：新西兰的蜡眼可能比其他任何鸟类都要多。此处是副词修饰整句话。故填probably。

【9】考查非谓语动词。此处是现在分词作宾语补足语，句中宾语them与动词move之间为主动关系。故填moving。

【10】考查定语从句。先行词是noise，在定语从句中做主语，引导非限定性定语从句，且that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
