14.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式填空.Once a farmer lost his watch in his barn,in which lots of grain was kept.The watch,(41)whichwas a gift from his father,was very important to him and he was determined (42)to find(find) it.
After searching the barn for a long time,however,he gave up and asked for help from a group of children who (43)were playing(play) nearby.He promised to give a great reward to whoever found the watch.
Hearing this,the children hurried inside the barn(44)immediately(immediate).They searched everywhere (45)butstill couldn't find the watch buried in the grain.The farmer was about to give up (46)when a little boy went up to him and asked to be given a second chance.The farmer looked at him and thought,"Why (47)not(no)?After all,this kid looks honest."So the farmer sent the little boy back into the barn.After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand!The farmer,(48)surprised(surprise) but happy,asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.The boy replied,"I did nothing but (49)sit(sit) quietly and listen for the sound of the watch."

分析 本文主要讲述了一位农民在谷仓里面,丢失了自己的手表.无奈之下,请求一群孩子们帮忙.最后被一位小男孩凭借着手表发出的声音,找到了这块手表.从而告诉我们一个道理,有时候平和的心态,冷静思考更有助于我们解决问题.
解答 41.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词 watch在从句中人主语,用关系代词which.
42.to find 考查词语用法.be determined to do sth.意为"决心(做)…",是固定搭配.
43.were playing 考查动词时态.根据neaby,表示孩子们正在附近玩耍,用过去进行时态.
44.immediately 考查副词.hurry是动词,要用副词修饰,形容词immediate的副词是immediately.
45.but 考查连词.前后两个单句表示转折关系,用连词but.
46.when 考查固定搭配.was/were about to do sth.when-did sth.意为"正在做某事,这时突然…",是一种句式结构.
47.not 考查固定搭配.why not 意思是"为什么不呢'',一般用在疑问句中,表示提建议.why not后面要跟动词原型,此处相当于:why not give?
48.surprised 考查形容词.此处是形容词作状语,表示伴随.
49.sit 考查词语用法.nothing but意为"只有",后动词不定式时,nothing前有do时,to省略.
50.excited 考查形容词.根据句意:这表明有时安静地人比活跃的人思考的更好.用excited,意为"激动的;兴奋的".
