【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章中电脑以“人”的语气介绍了自己的特点和发展的历程。
【1】考查介词。本句的意思是:我出生在1642年。在表示年份的名词前用介词in。故填in。
【2】考查副词。这里用副词修饰谓语动词developed。副词可以修饰形容词、副词和动词等。故填slowly。
【3】考查介词。with the help of …是固定搭配,意思是“在……的帮忙下”。故填with。
【4】考查连词。so…that...引导结果状语从句,意思是“如此……以至于……”。本句的意思是,我的记忆容量是如此之大,以至于我自己都难以相信。故填that。
【5】考查动词形式。本句是用现在进行时表示一种情绪。其实,句子相当于I was always standing there so lonely by myself(我总是一个人孤独地站在那里)。故填standing。
【6】考查名词。in是介词,后面要接名词或代词作宾语,communicate 是动词“交流”的意思,communication是其名词形式。故填communication。
【7】考查定语从句。the people是指人的先行词,后面的定语从句缺少主语。定语从句的先行词是指人的时候,后面的关系代词用who或that。故填who/that。
【8】考查动词的形式。I和send之间是被动关系,本句谓语动词用被动语态。又表示“曾经发生的事情”,因此用现在完成时的被动语态。故填sent。
【9】考查非谓语动词。这里用动词不定式短语作表语,表示计划未来发生的事,故填to provide。
【10】考查名词。with是介词,后面接名词或代词作宾语,happy的名词是happiness。本句的意思是:现在我充满着快乐。故填happiness。
1. 用不定式作表语,通常表示未发生的动作。如:
Mary’s task is to set the table. 玛丽的任务是要去摆桌子。
2. 用动名词作表语,通常表示已发生的动作或经常发生的动作。如:
His job is looking after sheep. 他的任务是看羊。
但这种区别并不是绝对的。例外的情况也不少,比如在job, problem 等名词后面就可用不定式或动名词作表语,且意思区别很小。如:
Her job is dealing with customer complaints. 她的工作是处理顾客投诉。
The problem is finding the time to get things done. 问题是要找到完成这些事情的时间。
【题目】根据短文内容,从下框的A---F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。
A. Adults keep pets with their children. |
(1)
Pet-keeping is a time-honored tradition. One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).
(2)
We keep animals as pets because they are attractive. We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic(审美的)value, and this is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. Keeping pets is one form of this urge. A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object. Pets are playful animals and they amuse us. A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs.
(3)
Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children. Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility. Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibility for another creature’s life. It will be an educational experience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal. There are psychological benefits for children. Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. Pets are excellent companions. Keeping pets means giving love and being loved. We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior.
(4)
As more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. Therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. Birds fall into this group. We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers. Fish-keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behavior in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle. The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage. They are wonderful hunters, if there are rats around.
(5)
Pets satisfy man’s desire to care for a bit of nature. The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides. Pets are amusing and entertaining, but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment. Are we not enslaving(奴役)them?
