7.Sculptor Builds Dubai's Soaring Burj Khalifa Skyscraper out of Toothpicks to Bag World RecordA sculptor has scaled new heights by building the world's tallest toothpick (牙签) model.
Stanley Hayes Munro,45,from Syracuse,New York,is a toothpick engineer,who (34)has been hooked (hook) by toothpick models since he built his first sculpture in school when creating a structure that (35)could support the weight of an egg.
Now,he has won the world record for the tallest toothpick structure with a sculpture of the Burj Kahlifa,Dubai.For Stanley though,he has always been more concerned with the integrity(完整性) of his work.Stanley said:"I've never cared for counting toothpicks,wasting toothpicks,or the number of toothpicks (36)used (use) in any construction.But an engineering problem you've got to create a strong structure is a problem worth (37)solving(solve).""I made my first toothpick structure in an art class when I was in Grade 5,"he continued."The assignment was to build something 25centimeters tall and to have it (38)hold (hold) the weight of an egg.Mine held my desk and from that point I became interested in it."
"Everybody likes to ask whether my sculptures will collapse when I build them,but they are much (39)stronger (strong) than people think,"he said."It was not really the height but the shape of the outer walls (40)that was the biggest challenge with Burj Khalifa.There wasn't a flat surface anywhere and I had to individually construct each level,"he said.
分析 本文讲述了45岁的牙签雕塑工程师Stanley Hayes Munro成功搭建了迪拜高耸的哈利法塔摩天大楼的牙签雕塑,创下了最高牙签模型的世界纪录,登上了事业新高.Stanley的第一个牙签作品是在学校完成的,此后他就迷上了雕塑.对Stanley来说,他注重的是作品的结构完整性,他的牙签雕塑要远比人们想象的牢固的多.
解答 34.has been hooked;考查动词的时态和语态,根据后文中的since可知要用现在完成时,又因主语who与动词
hook是被动关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态.
35.could;考查情态动词,结合上下文分析句意为"创造了一个能够支撑一个鸡蛋的结构"可知,这里需要表示一种能力,又因讲述的是发生了的事情,所以用过去时态could.
36.used;考查分词作定语,toothpicks 与动词use是被动关系,所以用过去分词作定语.
37.solving;考查动名词,worth doing是固定用法,意为"值得做某事".
38.hold;考查动词不定式,have在这个句子中是使役动词,意为"使,让",后跟省to不定式,故用动词原形
hold,have sb do sth意为"使人做某事".
39.stronger;考查形容词的比较级,much修饰形容词时,后面要跟形容词的比较级形式,空格后又有than,故
此处要用比较级形式.
40.that;考查强调句型,分析整个句子可知这是一个强调句.所以用that构成It is/was…that的强调句型.
点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案.
