试题分析:本文讲述的是泰迪熊如何诞生的故事。
1.根据前面的went on a bear hunt和本句话可知,本句的意思应该是“他喜欢狩猎。”“喜欢”是enjoy,又因为本文是的时态是过去时,所以填enjoyed
2.根据Because he was the President of the USA,并结合本句,我们可推知,认识他的人想让他狩猎成功。“成功的”是successful。
3..结合前句But after three days of walking and climbing and riding,可知本句的意思是“没有熊出现。”因为后面是bears(名词),所以应该用形容词no。而不能用其他副词如not,never或代词none等。
4.根据found an old bear可知,终于发现了一只老熊。所以应该填finally。
5.根据To stop it from running away“为了避免它逃走”可知,狩猎的导游,应该是将熊绑在了树上。“捆绑”是tie,过去时用tied。
6.根据上文,我们可以推断本句的意思是“他画了一个卡通来展示罗斯福总统是怎样在狩猎时拒绝射杀一头老熊的。”while后面应该跟分词形式。所以填hunting。
7.本句的意思是“它旁边是一个卡通的副本”,所以空填was。
8.根据to his surprise可知,人们应该是对这种狗熊玩具很感兴趣。Show great interest in“对……感兴趣”。所以填interest。
9.根据本句可以推测,他经过罗斯福的同意,可以用他的名字Teddy作为熊玩具的名字。所以本空填use。
10.根据句子的意思,应该用“全世界”around the world。所以本空填around。

“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention or system that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.
