题目内容
12.A young man,while traveling through a desert,came across a spring of clear water.(61)Thewater was sweet.He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder(62)who had been his teacher.After a four-day journey,the young man(63)presented(present) the water to the old man.His teacher took a deep drink,smiled(64)warmly(warm),and thanked his student very much for the sweet water.The young man went home(65)witha happy heart.After the student left,the teacher let(66)anotherstudent taste the water.He spit it out,(67)saying(say) it was awful.Apparently,it was no longer fresh because of the old leather container.He asked his teacher,"Sir,the water was awful.Why did you pretend to like (68)it?"
The teacher replied,"You tasted the water.I tasted the gift.The water was simply the container for an act of kindness and love.Nothing could be(69)sweeter(sweet)."
We understand this lesson best(70)whenwe receive gifts of love from children.Whether it is a cheap pipe or a diamond necklace,the proper response is appreciation.We love the idea within the gift rather than the thing.
分析 一位学生长途跋涉给老师带来了沙漠里的清泉,虽然泉水由于装在皮水壶里时间太长而变得味道苦涩,但是它承载的爱和善良却让老师深受感动.
解答 61.The 62.who 63.presented 64.warmly 65.with 66.another 67.saying 68.it 69.sweeter 70.when
61.The 考查冠词 那水很甜.此处用定冠词the特指上文中年轻人发现的水.
62.who 考查定语从句 他把他的皮水壶装满,这样他就可以带一些水回去给他曾经的以为老师.定语从句的先行词为an elder,从句缺少主语.
63.presented 考查时态 在四天的路程结束后,年轻人把水壶给了那位老师.由语境可知该动作发生在过去,故用一般过去时.
64.warmly 考查副词 他的老师喝了一大口,热情地微笑.动词smile需要副词来修饰,warmly意为"热情地,友好地".
65.with 考查介词 这个年轻人带着愉快的心情回家去了.with意为"带着,带有",符合语境.
66.another 考查代词 老师让另外一个学生品尝那些水.another意为"又一个,另一个",常和单数名词连用.
67.saying 考查非谓语 他吐出来,说它太难喝了.分析句子结构可知,此和非谓语动词,be与say之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作伴随状语.
68.it 考查代词 学生问老师水很难喝,为什么老师假装喜欢它.此处用it指代上文的the water.
69.sweeter 考查形容词 没什么能比它更甜了.否定词和比较级连用表示最高级的含义,该句可转化为the water is sweeter than anything else.
70.when 考查连词 当我们收到来自孩子们(充满)爱的礼物时,我们对这个道理理解得最深.由句意可知两个句子间需要引导时间状语从句的连词,故填when,当…的时候.
点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.
