题目内容
10.During an 1899F4tornado (龙卷风) in Missouri,three people,Miss Moorehouse,Mrs.Webster,and her son were caught up in the storm.They (16)werecarried (carry) nearly one mile,but were let down so gently (17)that none of the three was seriously injured.Here is Moorehouse's (18)description (describe)of her unbelievable flight.‘‘I was conscious all the time when I was flying through the air,and (19)it seemed a long time.I seemed to be lifted up,(20)going (go) up to a great height.At one time I was far above the church towers,and seemed to be carried to a (21)distant (distance) place.As I was going through the air,I saw a horse,(22)which was a white one and had a harness (马具) on,floating about with me.By the way (23)the horse kicked and struggled as it was thrown about,I knew it was alive.I was afraid that it would knock into me,(24)but it did not.Finally,I was mercifully landed (25)upon/on the ground unharmed,saved by luck."
分析 本文介绍了发生在美国密苏里州的一次龙卷风事件中,三人被卷到空中,甩出去了很远,其中的一位当事人叙述了自己的难以置信的经历.他说之间被卷到空中很高的地方,感觉在空中飞翔了好久,而且碰见了一只同样命运的马,还好那只马虽然离他很近但并没有伤到他,他也幸运地活了下来.说明了龙卷风的威力之大.
解答 16.were carried 根据前面的内容three people,Miss Moorehouse,Mrs.Webster,and her son were caught up in the storm可知,被困在龙卷风中,自然是被甩出去一英里远,即they和carry之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,因为是过去的事件,所以用一般过去时的被动语态;故答案为were carried.
17.that but were let down so gently和none of the three was seriously injured构成了逻辑上的一种因果关系,构成句型so…that…如此…以至于…;所以应该用that引导的结果状语从句;故答案为that.
18.description 这是承上启下的一句话,结合后面的her unbelievable flight及结合所给动词可知,应该是他对该起事件的描述;故答案为description.
19.it and后面的句子是对前面 all the time when I was flying through the air的描述,即感觉自己被卷到空中仿佛是一段漫长的时间,所以用代词it来指代这段时间;故答案为it.
20.going 根据前面的标点符号为逗号可知,此处应该使用go的非谓语动词的形式表示伴随状语,我与飞到高空是一种主动关系,所以用现在分词going;故答案为going.
21.distant 此处表达仿佛被带到了一个很远的地方,前面有冠词a和后面的distance的形容词distant一起作定语,修饰place;故答案为distant.
22.which I saw a horse是主句,后面只有一个标点逗号,后面又是一个句子,缺少主语,所以应该是一个which引导的非限制性定语从句;故答案为which.
23.the 此处指的是前面提到的带马具的白色的马,为特指前面提到的那匹马,故答案为the.
24.but 前面的担心I was afraid that it would knock into me和后面的事实it did not构成了一种转折关系,故答案为but.
25.upon/on 落到地面上用介词on/upon,即land on/upon the ground,故答案为on/upon.
点评 语法填空题主要是考查对文章句子结构和词汇搭配的用法.通常的考查点有:动词(时态,语态,非谓语形式);名词(单复数);形容词和副词(转换);连词(复合句,并列句);介词(搭配结构)等.偶尔也会出现逻辑判断题,例如考查代词的指代对象.在平时练习时多注意归纳总结,考试时自然游刃有余.

I'll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) (49)B to jump in and see what happened.Returning home from the (50)C,I disappeared into my room,as usual.But once inside,I felt that deep and burning(51)B.Throwing my school books on the bed,I suddenly opened my door and (52)C back to the garage to help my mother.How happy I felt that day!
