Answer 1

【答案】

【1】pouring

【2】and

【3】have

【4】that

【5】getting

【6】can

【7】an

【8】until

【9】warming

【10】your

【解析】

【1】pouring考查非谓语动词。pouring in为现在分词短语，在句子中作伴随状语。句意：一旦当地人发现你有买野生动物的意愿，全体人们都会蜂拥而出。

【2】and and 考查连词。go out和find it yourself是并列关系，所以用and。

【3】have 考查逻辑。根据后面的“...when you have got a newly...”可知，此处表示得到一个新被抓的动物时会有困难。

【4】that考查同位语从句的引导词。that引导同位语从句，在句子中不作任何成分。

【5】getting考查非谓语动词。此处为动名词短语作主语。句意：有时候动物会被关进一只漂亮的笼子里，但习惯与人们一起生活确实另一个个问题。

【6】can考查情态动词。句意为：这是一个你只能用耐心和善良来解决的困难，故用can。

【7】an考查不定冠词。前面提到了an animal，这里并非特指，故用an。句意：当你靠近笼子的时候动物将会攻击你。

【8】until考查连词。根据语境可知用until引导时间状语从句。句意：当你靠近笼子的时候动物将会攻击你，除非你给它留下了很好的印象。

【9】warming考查词性转换。根据前面的without any判断，所填词应该是名词，所以用warning。句意：有时候没有任何征兆。

【10】your考查代词。根据后面的语境“or allow you to tickle it behind the ears”判断该词与“你”有关，作定语，所以用your。
