题目内容
【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
As the rain starts to pound on the windows, you may find your dog hiding under a low piece of furniture or in the corner of a dark room. It's not unusual for a dog to attempt 【1】 (become) grounded during storms by seeking 【2】 lowest place in the house or some place near the house's pipes.
But why? As you might suspect, noise is one of the 【3】 (reason ). Thunder-storms can frighten dogs with noise phobia, 【4】 is a severe fear of loud noises. Noise phobias can start at any age and worsen over time if 【5】 (leave)untreated.
Another reason is static electricity(静电). During a thunderstorm, static electricity in the clouds builds up, eventually 【6】 (burst) into lightning. Dogs can sense this static electricity, and often even before the storm reaches our own neighbourhood. Static electricity 【7】 (feel) by dogs through their fur. It could be 【8】 (help)to gently lead your dog to the bathroom and into the bathtub as the porcelain(瓷器)may 【9】 (actual) help block static electricity.
At the same time, try not to take care 【10】 your dog too much. Otherwise, your dog may think that its behavior is something you'd like to see again.
【答案】
【1】to become
【2】the
【3】reasons
【4】which
【5】left
【6】bursting
【7】is felt
【8】helpful
【9】actually
【10】of
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。下雨时狗藏在一件低矮的家具下或一个黑暗房间的角落里,一个原因是因为雷雨会使狗产生噪音恐惧症,这是一种对巨大噪音的严重恐惧;另一个原因是狗能感觉到下雨天时产生的静电,把狗放到浴室和浴缸,陶瓷可能有助于阻挡静电。
【1】考查固定短语。句意:在暴风雨中,狗狗试图寻找房子里最低的地方或靠近房子管道的地方,这并不罕见。固定短语attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”后跟不定式,故填to become。
【2】考查冠词。句意同上。根据下文lowest为形容词最高级可知应填定冠词the。故填the。
【3】考查名词的数。句意:正如你所怀疑的,噪音是其中一个原因。reason为可数名词,one of后跟复数名词,表示“……其中之一”,故填reasons。
【4】考查定语从句连接词。句意:雷雨会使狗产生噪音恐惧症,这是一种对巨大噪音的严重恐惧。本句为定语从句修饰先行词noise phobia,且先行词在从句中做主语,指物,故填which。
【5】考查省略句。句意:噪音恐惧症可以在任何年龄开始,如果不治疗,随着时间的推移会恶化。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。本句完整为if (noise phobias was)left untreated.,故填left。
【6】考查非谓语动词。句意:雷雨期间,云层中的静电积聚起来,最终形成闪电。burst在句中做非谓语动词与逻辑主语static electricity构成主动关系,应用现在分词,故填bursting。
【7】考查动词时态语态。句意:狗的毛能感觉到静电。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且描述客观事实用一般现在时,故填is left。
【8】考查形容词。句意:这可能是有帮助的,轻轻地把你的狗到浴室和浴缸,因为陶瓷可能有助于阻挡静电。根据上文It could be可知应填形容词作表语,故填helpful。
【9】考查副词。句意同上。help为动词需要副词修饰,故填actually。
【10】考查固定短语。句意:同时,尽量不要过多地照顾你的狗。固定短语take care of“照顾”,故填of。
定语从句的关系词的选择可考虑以下三点:
(1)一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等)
(2)二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why)
(3)三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)
如第四小题,句意:雷雨会使狗产生噪音恐惧症,这是一种对巨大噪音的严重恐惧。本句为定语从句修饰先行词noise phobia,且先行词在从句中做主语,指物,故填which。
