【答案】
【1】selecting

【3】from
【4】older/elder
【5】foolishness
【6】was kept
【7】his
【8】angrily
【9】and
【10】to rule
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。一个聪明的地主和他两个儿子的故事。
【1】selecting句意:因此他考虑选择其中一个来管理家族。consider表示考虑,相当于后think about后接名词,代词,动名词,故这里用selecting。
【2】left 考查过去分词。句意:不应该有任何空间留下。空间和留下之间是被动关系,故用过去分词left。
【3】from 考查介词。句意:你们不应该向别人寻求建议。根据句意可知这里用介词from。
【4】older/elder 考查比较级。句意:第二天,地主参观了大儿子的房间。The+比较级,表示两个当中“更---的,较---的”,故答案为older/elder。
【5】foolishness 考查名词。句意:地主叹息大儿子的愚蠢。这里要用名词形式,故答案为foolishness。
【6】was kept 考查被动语态。句意:但是门保持关着。此处it和keep之间是被动关系,结合句意可知此处用一般过去时态的被动语态,故答案为was kept。
【7】his 考查形容词性物主代词。句意:小儿子叫父亲进去,又把门关上。形容词性物主代词修饰名词,故答案为his。
【8】angrily 考查副词。句意:地主生气地对他儿子大叫。这里用副词修饰动词,故答案为angrily。
【9】and 考查并列连词。句意:可是小儿子点起了一支蜡烛,并说:“我让这个房间充满了光!”。根据句意可知前后是递进的并列关系,故答案为and。
【10】to rule 考查动词不定式。句意:他明白,弟弟是管理这个家庭的合适人选。此处是动词不定式做后置定语,故答案为to rule。
consider作动词时主要有以下四种用法:
1.作"思考"、"考虑"(=think about)解,后面可接动名词、由"how,what等+动词不定式"或者从句作宾语.但要特别注意,consider后面不能直接跟动词不定式作宾语.例如:
①We are considering going to Hainan for the Spring Festival.我们在考虑赴海南过春节.
②He has never considered how to solve the problem.他从未考虑过如何解决那个问题.
③Do you consider that we can finish the project ahead of time?你认为我们能提前完成这个项目吗?
2.consider v.还可作"顾虑到"、"顾及"、"体谅"(=take into account)解.这时其后用名词或动名词作宾语.例如:
①All of you should consider the feelings of other people.你们必须顾及到他人的感情.
②Although he has made such a stupid mistake,you should consider his youth.尽管他犯了那样愚蠢的错误,你应该体谅他还年轻.
3.作"认为"、"以为"、"觉得"(=be of the opinion,regard as)解时,后面多接宾语从句,这时一般不接动名词作宾语.例如:
①I consider that he is fit for the position of the manager.我认为他胜任经理的位置.
②We consider that you are not to blame.我们认为这不是你的错.
③He has never considered the fact that his family is not very rich.他从未考虑过他家并不富裕这一事实.
consider作"认为"解时,后面还可以接一个宾语和一个动词不定式作宾语补足语,构成复合宾语结构,但这种结构的动词不定式主要是"to be+名词/形容词";有时也可以是其它不定式,不过这种不定式多用完成时.例如:
①We always consider him to be a weak leader.我们一直认为他是个能力不强的领导.
②They consider Jim (to be) the cleverest boy in their class.他们认为吉姆是他们班最聪明的学生.
③I consider her to have done wonderfully in the final exam.我认为她在期末考试中表现得非常出色.
注:consider作"认为"解时,后面偶尔也出现接不定式作宾语的情况,不过这时大都用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语后移.例如:
Do you consider it wise to interfere?你觉得干预是明智的吗?
4.固定结构"consider...as/ to be+名词/形容词"多侧重于表示经过思考"认为……是……".例如:
①We consider his suggestion as having possibilities.我们认为他的建议具有可行性.
②They considered the plan as reasonable.他们认为这个计划是合理的。
