Answer 1

【答案】

【1】who/that

【2】another

【3】how

【4】absolutely

【5】what

【6】tied

【7】though/although

【8】in

【9】none

【10】disagree.

【解析】

【文章大意】一个老人的儿子总是争吵，且不听父亲的劝告，父亲通过一个实例教育儿子们：大家一心才能克服困难。

【1】who/that 考查定语从句。因为先行词是人：four sons,所以关系词用who或that，在定语从句中做主语。

【2】another 考查固定短语。one another 彼此，互相，句意：总是彼此争吵。

【3】how 考查连词。感叹句做宾语，句意:如果他们合作生活将会是多么的容易，how much表程度。

【4】absolutely 考查副词。副词修饰动词，此处修饰动词took，故用副词：absolutely.

【5】what 考查名词性从句。句意：一天他决定向他们展示他的意思。根据句意和从句中所少的成分，所以填what

【6】tied 考查非谓语。句意：他把四个儿子都叫来，又把一捆扎得很紧的树枝放在他们面前。此处是非谓语，sticks和tie之间是被动关系，故填tied。

【7】though/although 考查连词。因为but后是两个简单句，需要填连词，根据句意：尽管小儿子用膝盖顶住，两只手又压又拉，但是都不能把那捆树枝弄弯，所以填though。

【8】in 考查介词。根据固定短语：in turn ，依次，句意：父亲让每个儿子挨个儿试着去折断这个树枝。

【9】none 考查代词。根据句意：没有一个人能够做到，因为是四个儿子，表示三者或三者以上的都不用none。

【10】disagree. 考查谓语动词。根据状语从句主将出现确定为一般现在时，根据句意：如果你们总意见分歧，坚持各行其是，那么你们一遇到敌人，就会被打败。故应该填disagree。
