Question

【题目】语法填空，阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple【1】 powerful concept --- the ant philosophy (哲学).I think everybody should study ants.

They have an【2】(amaze) four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for_【3】way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They never quit looking for a way to get where they【4】 (suppose) to go.

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important viewpoint. You can't be so naive ( 天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and make_【5】(prepare) for the long cold winter. You’ve got to think storms when it’s fine. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind【6】, "This won't last long. We'll soon be out of here." And on the first warm day, the ants are out.【7】_ it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.

And here's the last part of the ant philosophy. How much will【8】ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he【9】_ (possible) can. What an incredible philosophy! 【10】you can learn from the ant philosophy is: Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】but

【2】amazing

【3】another

【4】are supposed

【5】preparations

【6】themselves

【7】If

【8】an

【9】possibly

【10】What

【解析】

【1】but;此处考查关联词的应用。Simple（简单的）和powerful（强大的）两个词的意义相反，因此这里应该是表达转折。故填but。

【2】amazing;此处考查动词的形容词形式。amaze有两个形容词形式，一个是amazed感到吃惊的，另一个是amazing令人惊异的。前者常常主语是人，后者常常修饰事物。此处应该是表达令人惊异的四个哲理。故填amazing。

【3】another; 句意：一条路行不通，就找另外一条。此处的通常用法是one…another一个……另一个，故填another。

【4】are supposed;主谓一致。they是 where从句的主语，且be supposed to应该做某事，是固定搭配。故填are supposed。

【5】preparations;固定搭配。make preparations for sth为……做准备。故填preparations。

【6】themselves;句意：蚂蚁们提醒着自己。他们的反身代词是他们自己。故填themselves。

【7】If;考查if条件状语从句。it turns cold again, they'll dive back down是两个句子不可能用句号直接连接，因此考虑从句，一个句子是一般现在时，一个句子是一般将来时，而if引导条件状语从句时就要满足主句用将来时从句用现在时。故填If。

【8】an;考查冠词。ant是元音发音。故填an。

【9】possibly;考查副词。此处是修饰动词can,所以应用副词形式。故填possibly。

【10】What;考查what引导的主语从句。what做主语。故填what。
