题目内容
20.A few weeks ago,I was taking a quiet walk in my backyard(71)whenI saw a baby bir1.d lying on the grass.It must(72)have fallen(fall) off the nest high in the branches.I was sure it was dead.But as I tried to pik it up,suddenly it moved.To put it back,I placed a ladder(73)againstthe tree and tried to get it near the nest.At that time,I saw a neighborhood cat in the branches.Immediately it came to my mind(74)thathe must have shaken the bird out of the nest when climbing up alone the branches and trapped(75)himself(he) up in the tree as well.Climbing up through the branches,I seized him,gave him a scolding and(76)dropped(drop) him softly to the ground.He ran off as fast as he could.
I(77)gently(gentle) picked up the baby bird,climbed up the ladder and,(78)stretching(stretch) my arm out as far as I could,I placed it in the nest.Then I said prayers for it.
In the weeks that followed I looked up at(79)thenest several times,but only saw the mother bird.I may never know whether my efforts have made a(80)difference(different) or not.But trying was enough.Sometimes love has to be its own reward.
分析 本文主要讲述作者在后院静静地散步时看见一只小鸟躺在草地上,发现它还活着,便拿来梯子准备将放回鸟巢.透过树叶,作者看到了附近的猫.一定是它把鸟从巢里摇了出来,然后把自己困在了树叶里.爬在树枝间,作者抓住了它,轻轻地把它丢在地上.然后,作者轻轻地拾起小鸟,爬上梯子,慢慢地伸出手臂,把它放在鸟巢里. 在接下来的几周里,作者抬头看了好几次鸟巢,但只看到了母鸟.作者认为努力过就已足够.
解答 71.when 考查固定句型.was/were doing sth.when-did sth.意为"正在做某事.这时突然--",是固定句型.
72.have fallen 考查情态动词.must have done表示"对已发生的事情的肯定推测".
73.against 考查介词.根据句意:我把梯子靠在树上.against意为"倚着,靠在".
74.that 考查连词.it是形式主语,真正的主语是that引导的主语从句.
75.himself 考查代词.hisself指代上文提到的cat.
76.dropped 考查动词时态.and是并列连词,它前后连接两个相同的语法成分,seized,gave和dropped是并列谓语,都用一般过去时态.
77.gently 考查副词.pick up是动词短语,要用副词修饰.
78.stretching 考查现在分词.I与stretch之间是主谓关系,用现在分词作状语.
79.the 考查冠词.nest是可数名词,前文已提到过,用定冠词the表示特指.
80.difference 考查固定搭配.make a difference意为"有影响; 起(重要)作用",是固定搭配.
