Question

【题目】用括号里所给动词的适当形式填空。
I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the ordinary person. When he (ask) why he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an experience with his mother when he was about two years old. “I tried to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell， spilling（溢出）the milk all over the floor — a sea of milk! I was frightened and I didn’t know what to do!” he said.
His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. “I (consider）how to explain all this to you, mom.” He said. Instead of (punish) him, she said, “Robert, what a great mess(杂乱) you have made! I (not see) such a huge sea of milk before! Well. since the milk has already been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We (clean) it up after that.” Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up.” He used a sponge(海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You know, you （fail）in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can find a way to carry it.” Then the little boy learned that if he grasped (抓紧) the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!

Answer 1

【答案】was asked；was considering；punishing；haven't seen；will clean；failed
【解析】这篇短文讲的是一位科学家能够与众不同，为什么？这与他的母亲的教育有关。两岁时，他把奶瓶掉在地上，妈妈鼓励他通过实验如何把瓶子抓好，因为错误往往是学习新知识的良机。妈妈的做法也培养了他勇敢面对失败、敢于担当的品质。
①句意：当他被问到为什么能够做到这一点时他给出了答案。根据句意及题干分析此空应用被动语态，所以填was asked。
②句意：我正在考虑怎样和你解释这件事，妈妈。根据句意及语境此空应用过去进行时态，所以填was considering。
③句意：没有惩罚他。介词of后面要跟动词的ing形式，所以填 punishing。
④句意：我从未见过如此大片的牛奶。根据句意及语境此题应用现在完成时态，所以填haven't seen。
⑤句意：在那之后我们会打扫干净。根据句意及语境此空应用一般将来时态，所以填 will clean。
⑥句意：刚才你没有成功地用两只小手抓住一个大牛奶瓶。根据句意及语境此空应用一般过去时态，故填failed。
