【解析】本文介绍的是做小事的重要性。小小的善举,尽管事情很小,但也能改变世界。詹姆斯中学的学生从“善举周”活动中学到了很多,班里也发生了很大变化。
【1】句意:这些善举看起来很小。分析句子成分可知,空格处为表语,且被副词very所修饰,故填形容词。根据句意并结合首字母提示和句中的“acts”,确定填small,它是形容词,意思是“小的”。very small的意思是“很小”,故填small。
【2】结合语境可知此处指的是这个活动从三月31日到四月4日。介词固定搭配from to “从····到···”故填介词from
【3】句意:我相信世界是被小事改变的。结合语境可知the world是动作的承受者,故使用被动语态故填过去分词changed。
【4】句意:过了一周,使她惊讶的是Murray还在她班发现了很大的变化。To one’s surprise意思是“是某人惊讶,令某人吃惊” one’s随主语的变化而变化,因句子主语是Murray,故填her
【5】结合语境可知Murray也在她班里面发现了变化,本句描述的是过去发生的动作,故用一般过去时态,填过去式动词found
【6】联系下文“before they leave the classroom。 Now, the students do those things by ___7__”描述,可知此处指的是她要求学生们摆放椅子和关闭电灯,结合语境可知填复数名词. students。
【7】句意:现在他们自己做这些事情,短语by oneself “靠自己”本句中反身代词指代的是前文提到的学生们,故填反身代词themselves“他们自己”。
【8】联系前两句描述,可知此处指的是另一个学生Eliza,故填不定代词another“多个中的另一个”。
【9】联系后一句描述,可知句意为“不管她多忙,她都相信她的行为能够鼓舞其他人”故填副词however “无论如何,不管怎样”。
【10】句意:她相信她的行为能够鼓舞其他人。分析句子成分知,空格处做动词encourage的宾语,故用代词others。
【题目】
Living places The home of the elephant is in the deep forest. It is the largest of all land animals, and is found both in Asia and Africa. One of the main places in Asia where the elephant lives is the island of Ceylon. The huge forests on the island become the home of thousands of elephants. The trees grow thick and tall. They make many parts almost dark, while bright sunlight is above and around them. |
Living habits The elephant likes the deep part and the coolest places of the forest. There he will stand swinging his ears, to drive away the flies; or he will pull down a branch (树枝) from a tree to fan himself. He likes bathing, and to be near a lake or running water. There he takes in the water with his trunk, and spreads it all over his body. |
Food The elephant enjoys the fruits in the forest, and also the leaves of the trees. There is plenty of food for him in the forests, though he is not always happy with what he finds there. |
Way of movement When a group of elephants moves about in the forest, the oldest goes first. The young elephants and their mothers are in the middle, where they are safest. Then all move along with a great noise, the branches of the trees bending and breaking before them. Though the elephant is usually harmless, no one dares to attack (袭击) a group of them moving through the forest. |
How people treat them In Asia the elephant is trained to work. At one time the African elephant also was trained. Soldiers in ancient times often went to fight on the backs of African elephants.
