题目内容

there a number of sheep on the farm last year?

— Yes.

A. Is B. Are C. Was D. Were

 

D

【解析】

试题分析:句意:去年在农场有许多的绵羊吗?是的。There be句型表示“某地(或某时)存在有某人(或某物),句中有若干个名词作主语,动词be常与后面主语中的第一个名词在数上一致。sheep,单复数相同,a number of+名词复数,根据句意及结构可知,主语是复数,last year,过去的时间,所以用过去时态,故选D。

考点:考查there be句型的过去时态的用法。

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw several streets leading to the square. ‘‘See, my dear," Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to Father for help, he would not help. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She tried one spoonful and sputtered. “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible way. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look what I found!” Over the top of the paper I was reading; came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.

I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的)with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.

“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.

“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained.

“Why do they need to renew themselves?” Sarah asked.

“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other thing unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did. “

As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be forced.

“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them. “I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth. “

“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.

I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories m our deep hearts.
