【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。一场大火烧毁了意大利北部一片森林,消防员在控制火势后,大部分森林已被完全破坏。有几人在大火中受伤,但幸运的是没有人丧生。政府将设立一个项目来清理该区域,以便地方当局可以尽快开始植树。被毁的森林需要数年时间才能重新长出来。
【1】
考查冠词。句意:在周六一场火灾烧毁了意大利北部一大片森林。此处首次提到火灾,为泛指意义,应使用不定冠词,并且fire是以辅音音素开头的单词,故填A。
【2】
考查介词。句意:经过一段长时间的干旱,火灾开始于星期六下午的早些时候。表示“在上午、下午、晚上”时,介词要用in,而表示“在具体的某天上午、下午、晚上”时,介词要用on。afternoon前面有Saturday修饰,故填on。
【3】
考查现在分词。句意:消防员在地面和空中与火灾战斗了几个小时,试图控制火势。分析句子结构可知,try在句子中不是谓语动词,主语firefighters发出try的动作,因此使用try的现在分词作状语,故填trying。
【4】
考查时态和语态。句意:但是,等到实现这一目标时,大部分森林已被完全破坏。by the time通常引导时间状语从句,表示“到……的时候为止”,主句则表示在此时间之前某个事件已完成。当从句用过去时时,主句通常用过去完成时。句子主语承受destroy的动作,因此主句的谓语动词应使用过去完成时的被动语态,故填had been
destroyed。
【5】
考查非谓语动词。句意:熊熊大火产生的烟雾形成了巨大的乌云,据说它已将白天变成黑夜。be said to have done:据说(主语)已经做过某事,其中to have done是动词不定式的完成式,表示动词不定式的动作发生在谓语动词(was said)之前,故填to have turned。
【6】
考查副词。句意:几人在大火中受伤,但幸运的是没有人丧生。副词作状语修饰空格后的句子,故填fortunately。
【7】
考查固定短语。句意:救援人员已乘直升飞机将受伤人员救起,并送往最近的医院。由by helicopter可知,此处表示救援人员通过直升飞机将受伤人员救起,固定短语pick up:捡起,用(汽车,飞机)搭载,学会,(健康)好转,故填up。
【8】
考查主语从句的连接词。句意:人们也担心许多动物失去了家园或在大火中丧生。该句子中使用的是it作形式主语代替主语从句,这主要是为了平衡句子结构,引导词后面的句子的成分和意义是完整的,而that引导主语从句时不作成分并且没有词义,因此从句的引导词应使用that。该句式结构为:It is+过去分词+that+完整的句子,故填that。
【9】
考查并列连词。句意:人们也担心许多动物失去了家园或在大火中丧生。空格前后的两种情况是选择关系,故填or。
【10】
考查目的状语从句的从属连词。句意:政府将设立一个项目来清理该区域,以便地方当局可以尽快开始植树。sothat意为“以便,为了”时,相当于in order that,它在引导目的状语从句时从句中的谓语动词前一般有情态动词can或may等,故填so。
