题目内容
17.A god had a horse.The horse was beautiful and it also had many good qualities.But it wanted to be more perfect in every (61)way.It especially wanted to become(62)the most beautiful(beautiful) horse in the world.One day,the horse said to the god,"You(63)have given (give) me beauty and other good qualities so far.I am so thankful to you.But how I (64)wish you could make me more beautiful!I would be very thankful if you could make me more beautiful."
The god said,"I am more than ready to make you more beautiful.Tell me in what way you want to(65)be changed (change)."Then the horse said,"My neck is too(66)short.If you can make my neck a little longer,my upper body will be more beautiful.And if you can make my(67)legs (leg) much longer and thinner,then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.
Then at once the god made a camel appear in place of the horse.The horse was so sad that it started to cry,"Oh,no,I do not want to become a camel.I beg you to change me into a horse again.As a horse,everybody loved my good qualities.(68)Nobody would like me as a camel."
The god said,"This is exactly what you wanted.You have become a camel.Never try to receive more than I have given you.If you (69)ask for a longer neck and legs,this is what will happen.Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities.The camel is not as beautiful as you are,but it(70)carries (carry) heavy loads(担子) and has a greater sense of duty."
分析 文章大意:本文介绍了一个神有一只马,它已经很漂亮了,但它想让神把它变得更漂亮,于是请求神把它的颈子变长,腿变长变瘦,在此要求下神把它变成了一只骆驼,于是它又请求神把它变回马,但神告诉它这就是它想要变成的样子,骆驼虽然没有马好看,但它也有自己的责任感.
解答 61.way 考查名词与对语境的理解.由下文的Tell me in what way you want to…可知此处表示它想在每个方面都完美,用way表示方面,every修饰单数名词,所以填单数形式即可.
62.the most beautiful 考查形容词的级.由in the world可知要用最高级,表示在全世界的范围内比较,所以填beautiful的最高级形式.
63.have give 考查时态.由so far可知时态要用现在完成时,结构为have/has+过去分词.此处的主语you是第二人称单数,所以用have加上give的过去分词即可.
64.wish 考查动词与对语境的理解.由下文的I would be very thankful if you could make me more beautiful可知此处表示马的心愿"我多么希望你能将我变得更好看",用wish表示希望.
65.be changed 考查语态.way和change是动宾关系,当way作主语时,要用被动语态,表示哪个方面希望被改变,结构为be+及物动词的过去分词.此处用在短语want to do sth中,所以be用原形,加上change的过去分词即可.
66.short 考查形容词与对语境的理解.由下文的If you can make my neck a little longer可知,此处表示我的颈子太短了,用short表示短的.
67.legs 考查名词的数.leg表示腿,由实际可知马的腿不只一条,所以此处要用它的复数形式.
68.Nobody 考查不定代词与对语境的理解.由上文的As a horse,everybody loved my good qualities可知此处表示作为骆驼就没有人喜欢我了,用nobody表示没有人.
69.ask 考查动词与对语境的理解.结合语境可知此处表示如果你要求更长的颈子和腿,用ask for表示要求.
70.carries 考查动词与时态.此句话处于直接引语中,引语中的时态是一般现在时,主语it是第三人称单数,所以要填carry的三单形式.
点评 考查平日语法知识的积累,注意人称时态和名词的数的变化,并结合语境作答,注意上下文间的逻辑关系是解题关键.
