Question

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

When he was a little boy, Christopher Cockerell once noticed his mother turning the wheel of her sewing machine with her hand. “Won’t it work quickly if a machine 【1】 (turn) the wheel for you?” he asked. “I suppose it will.” said his mother, without paying any attention to him. Christopher knew she always had a lot of work and that she was 【2】 stubborn that he could hardly do anything to change 【3】 mind. But he wanted to help. In his bedroom there was a toy steam engine 【4】 (buy) by his father as a gift to him. “I will make better use of it,” little Christopher said to himself. So, when his mother was not using her sewing machine, he decided to fix the toy steam engine onto it. When he finished 【5】 (do) it, he was quite pleased, thinking his mother would like it. “Very clever,” his mother said when she saw it. But then she sat down and went on turning the wheel 【6】 hand. “I 【7】 (work) like this for too many years,” she explained. Christopher felt very 【8】 (disappoint). He couldn’t understand his mother’s 【9】 (behave).

This teaches Christopher a lesson that anyone 【10】 tries to improve anything has to learn: many people don’t like new ideas.

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】turns考查动词。这里a machine是单数，故用turns。如果一台机器自己为你转动轮子，它会很快地工作吗？

【2】so考查连词。so...that...如此...以致...，克里斯托弗知道她总是有很多工作，她是如此固执以致他几乎不能做任何改变她的想法。

【3】her考查代词。克里斯托弗知道她总是有很多工作，她是如此固执以致他几乎不能做任何改变她的想法。

【4】bought考查动词。此处是过去买的，用动词过去式。在他的卧室里有一个玩具蒸汽机是他的父亲买来作为礼物给他的。

【5】doing考查动词。finish doing结束正在做的事。当他完成做这件事，他很高兴，认为他的母亲会喜欢它。

【6】by考查介词。但随后她坐下来，继续用手转动方向盘。

【7】have worked考查动词时态。这里表过去完成时，用have worked。我已经这样做太多年了。

【8】disappointed考查形容词。修饰动词用形容词，克里斯托弗感到非常失望。

【9】behavior考查名词。他无法理解他母亲的行为。

【10】who考查关系词。这给了克里斯托弗一个教训，是任何想尝试去改进任何东西的人都应该知道的：很多人不喜欢新的想法。
