After seeing this,the emperor became much angrier."Since you can paint a rooster in five minutes,why did you keep me(68)waiting (wait) for over a year?"he asked.
The painter invited the emperor to his house.There,the emperor saw piles and piles of paper.On every piece of paper (69)was (be) a painting of a rooster."Your Majesty (陛下),"said the painter,"(70)It took me more than a year to improve my painting skill so that I can paint a perfect rooster for you."
分析 本文写了一位国王想让一名画家给他画一幅最好的公鸡的话,这个画家用了一年的时间也没有画出来,后来在国王要杀他的时候却用了不到五分钟的时间画了一只很好的公鸡,原来他用了一年的时间再练习.
解答 61.an 考查冠词.一位中国的国王,这里是泛指,因为emperor开头发元音,所以用an.
62.who/that考查定语从句.先行词 painter,在定语从句中做主语,所以用that或者who来引导.
63.birds 考查名词复数.flowers 与bird是相并列的,用复数形式表示这类东西,所以填birds.
64.best 考查形容词最高级.根据句意:他的收藏品中最好的,good的最高级是best.
65.to do 考查固定短语.promise to do是固定搭配"许诺做某事".
66.angry 考查形容词.此处是用形容词做系动词became的表语"变得生气".
67.Knowing 考查非谓语.the painter与动词know之间是主谓关系,用现在分词在句中做状语.
68.waiting 考查固定短语.keep sb doing是英语的固定搭配"让…持续做某事".
69.was 考查主谓一致.分析句子可知本句的主语是 a painting of a rooster,所以谓语动词用单数was.
70.It 考查固定句型.It takes sb sometime to do sth 是固定句型"某人花费…时间干某事".
