5.When I first hiked in the silent Ponderosa pines of the Black Hills,I was surprised at how quiet the world became.Nowadays,when I walk in the woods,I notice other things.I hear songs of unseen birds and catch glimpses of wildflower color,all of (25)which make great subjects for me to put in front of a camera.Finding those birds is (26)why I've spent more time in the woods of Eastern South Dakota this year than any other.Last spring I witnessed and photographed the songbird migration for the first time.I saw brightly colored birds that I'd never seen before.I guess I (27)was hooked (hook) because this spring I was back in the woods searching for more.
I have a goal to photograph all the colorful birds that call South Dakota home.One that has hidden from me to this day is the Scarlet Tanager(猩红比蓝雀).They are best found in Union Grove State Park or Newton Hills and are colored red with black wings.This year,I made three separate trips to find them.I also took time (28)to learn (learn) their song and call.This helped me find a female at dusk at Union Grove,but I could not get a decent photo.Later in the week,as I began another search at Newton Hills,a Summer Tanager flew to a tree next to me and gave me a long look.It was a real treat because the Summer Tanager is much (29)rarer (rare) to find in South Dakota.Later in the day,I finally saw my first male Scarlet …well,his tail feathers anyway.By the time I (30)spotted(spot) him,he was flying deep into the woods.I was disappointed.Then I thought this might be an invitation."Come back into the woods.Lose (31)yourself among the leaves,listen to the song I sing and maybe one day we will meet."I look forward to that day.
分析 当我第一次在布莱克山脉那片寂静的黄松林中徒步时,我惊叹世界竟变得如此安静.现在,当我漫步林间,我会注意其他事物.我会聆听看不见鸟儿的歌唱,看野花的色彩,所有这些都是相机捕捉到的绝妙题材.为了找到我心仪的鸟,我在南达科他州东部的树林里呆了很多时间,我的目标是拍摄所有栖息在那儿的色彩绚丽的鸟,最终见到了猩红比蓝雀和玫红比蓝雀.
解答 25.which 考查非限制性定语从句.Which指代前面提到的birds和glimpses.非限制性定语从句,且为介词of的宾语,只能用which.
26.why 考查表语从句.根据句意,"我今年呆在南达科他州东部树林里的时间比以往长"与"找到那些鸟"之间是因果关系,表示原因,所以用why.
27.was hooked 考查时态语态.hook意为"吸引"与主语I是被动关系,又因叙述的是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was hooked.
28.to learn 考查非谓语动词.take time to do something意为"花费时间做某事"为固定搭配,故填to learn.
29.rarer 考查形容词比较级.根据句意可知玫红比蓝雀要罕见的多,此处暗含比较,且much常修饰形容词或副词的比较级,故用rarer.
30.spotted 考查时态.spot意为"发现",根据句意:到我发现它时,它正飞向树林深处,可知此处用一般过去时,故用spotted.
31.yourself 考查固定搭配.lose oneself意为"迷失于,沉迷于",此处指鸟对作者的邀请,所以应用第二人称单数.句意:让你自己沉迷于树叶之中,故用yourself.
