Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

A few years ago, after a long morning of sightseeing in New York, my children and I took 【1】 breath on a park bench in Central Park.

“Look.” my son said, 【2】 (point) to a nearby dustbin. That’s when we saw our first raccoon (浣熊). Quite at home in the big city, he paid us no attention, concentrating only on looking for a tasty lunch. He sorted through a few options before finding a wrapped (包着的) sandwich.

【3】 (satisfy), he jumped down with it held carefully between his paws and 【4】 (casual) went to a spot on the path, not a meter from 【5】 we sat. The children were strongly attracted by the raccoon that provided 【6】 (good) entertainment for them, of course, including me, than any museum.

He glanced at us perhaps 【7】 (make) sure that we weren’t about to take away his lunch. With his delicate 【8】 (finger), he tore up the plastic wrap until the half-eaten sandwich was uncovered. Then, he surprised us all. Instead of starting his food, he turned to a nearly small pool of rainwater and 【9】 (dip) his hands in. With an elegant air, he washed his hands underwater 【10】 a moment, and then cleaned his whiskers (胡须). After that, he turned back and started enjoying his meal like a gentleman.

【解析】

本文属于记叙文。作者和孩子们在纽约中央公园遇见一只浣熊在找食物。令他们感到惊讶的是，浣熊找到食物后，先洗手和整理了胡须后，才开始享受自己的美餐。作者用生动的语言描述了浣熊这一令人捧腹的行为。

【1】

考查冠词。句意：几年前，在纽约观光了一个漫长的上午后，我和孩子们走累了，坐在公园的凳子上歇口气。结合句意可知，此处表示“歇口气”，使用固定短语take a breath。故填a。

【2】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，point在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语son构成主动关系，应用现在分词作状语。故填pointing。

【3】

考查形容词。句意：浣熊找到食物后，很满意从垃圾桶上跳下来，走向路边。本句中为形容词作状语，修饰主语的状态，表示“感到满意的”，应用satisfied，且句首单词首字母要大写。故填Satisfied。

【4】

考查副词。修饰动词went，应用副词casually，表示“随意地”。故填casually。

【5】

考查宾语从句连接词。此处为宾语从句，从句中缺少地点状语，应用where引导。故填where。

【6】

考查形容词比较级。句意：孩子们被浣熊深深地吸引住了，因为浣熊给他们当然也包括我提供了比任何博物馆都好的娱乐。根据本句后面后“than any museum”信息可知，应用形容词比较级。故填better。

【7】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，make在句中应用非谓语动词形式，且本句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to make。

【8】

考查名词复数。finger为可数名词，此处前面没有冠词，应用复数形式。故填fingers。

【9】

考查动词时态。dip在句中作谓语，根据上文he turned to a nearly small pool of rainwater and可知，作者描述的是几年前在公园中看见浣熊的一幕，应用一般过去时。故填dipped。

【10】

考查介词。句意：浣熊带着优雅的神态，在水下洗了一会儿手，然后擦了擦胡须。结合句意可知，表示“一会儿”，应用固定短语：for a moment。故填for。
