【解析】
本文是一个小故事。在一个遥远的国家,有两个木匠:凯尔和杰克。他们两个都很擅长工作,但没有人知道谁更好。有一天,国王想出了一个办法,让他们进行一场比赛,给他们三天时间来雕刻一只木老鼠。三天后,凯尔的老鼠看起来比杰克的更真实。国王和大臣们一致认为凯尔是获胜者。但杰克说:“这个判决不公平。我们应该问问猫哪只老鼠看起来最真实。毕竟,猫比人更能认出老鼠。”于是国王要求大臣们抓几只猫。令人惊讶的是,所有的猫都更喜欢杰克的老鼠。国王问杰克原因。他说:“陛下,如果你仔细看,你会发现我刻了一只老鼠,手里拿着一根鱼骨!猫不在乎它看起来有多真实,而在乎它尝起来有多美味。”
【1】句意:有一天,国王想出了一个办法,找出哪一个更好。本文是一个小故事,时态是一般过去时,think的过去式是thought,结合句意和所给词可知答案是thought。
【2】句意:木匠们被给予三天时间来雕刻一只木老鼠。根据句意可知此句是被动语态,本文是一个小故事,时态是一般过去时,故此句是一般过去时的被动语态,其构成was/were done sth.,本句主语The carpenters是复数,give的过去分词是given;故答案是were given。
【3】句意:我们应该问问猫哪只老鼠看起来最真实。情态动词should后面跟动词原形;结合句意和所给词可知答案是ask。
【4】句意:于是王吩咐大臣们捉住几只猫,带它们来审判木匠的老鼠。短语ask sb. to do sth.:让某人做某事,吩咐某人做某事。结合句意和所给词可知答案是to catch。
【5】句意:国王问第二个木匠的原因。他说:“陛下,如果你仔细看,你会发现我刻了一只老鼠,手里拿着一根鱼骨!猫不在乎它看起来有多真实,而在乎它尝起来有多美味。”本句是if引导的时间状语从句,从句时态是一般现在时,主句时态使用一般将来时,其构成will do sth.;结合句意和所给词可知答案是will see。
【6】句意:国王问第二个木匠的原因。他说:“陛下,如果你仔细看,你会发现我刻了一只老鼠,手里拿着一根鱼骨!猫不在乎它看起来有多真实,而在乎它尝起来有多美味。”本句是宾语从句,主句是一般现在时,从句可使用各种时态。本宾语从句是but连接的并列句,这两个句子的时态一般一致,根据but how delicious it tastes是一般现在时,可知此句时态是一般现在时。本句主语it,可知谓语动词使用单数,结合句意和所给词可知答案是looks。
