题目内容
She looks forward every spring to ________ the flower-lined garden.
- A.visit
- B.paying a visit
- C.walk in
- D.walking in
解析:
动词加介词的短语后面常用动名词和名词。注意归纳一些此类用法的常用词对解题很有帮助。还要综合整体地看清楚句子结构,并注意一些插入语的运用。此题考查的关键是短语look forward to(盼望),中间被状语every spring分割开了。其中的to是介词,所以后接动名词,应选B或D;
由于pay a visit后不能直接带宾语(比较:pay a visit to后可带宾语),故答案为D。
She looks forward every spring to _____the flower-lined garden.
A.walking in | B.walk in | C.visit | D.paying a visit |
Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn't know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
