which hold surprise simple reason without

as they it who keep stand

When a man was walking by some elephants, he suddenly stopped. He was wondering why these huge animals 1 by a small rope tied to their front legs. It was 2 doubt that the elephants could break the rope at any time, but for some 3, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why the animals just4 there and made no effort to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they were very young and much smaller, we used the same rope 5 them from running away. At that age, it’s enough to hold them. 6 they grow up, they all believe that they cannot break the rope. They believe it can still hold 7, so they never try to break free.”

The man was8. These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right by the same rope 9 caught them at young ages.

How many of us go through life like the elephants—holding onto the belief that we cannot do something 10 because we failed at it once before?

Failure is a part of learning. If we failed once, it doesn’t mean we can never succeed. We should never give up trying when we encounter failures in life.

10simply

【解析】这篇短文给我们讲述了一个故事,一个人看到很多大象被一根小细绳子控制着,他们可以很容易的挣脱,但是他们却没有。原来在他们小的时候,就用这个绳子控制他们,那个时候他们不能挣脱,等他们长大了,他们仍然以为自己无法挣脱。

1句意:他想知道为什么这些巨大的动物被一条系到他们前腿上的小绳子控制。根据下文At that age, it’s enough to hold them.可知,在大象小的时候,就用这样的绳子去控制他们。由此可知这里应用hold这个单词,这是一个动词,拿,握住,控制。这句话的主语huge animals和动词hold构成被动关系,并且这里说的动作在那个时候是正在发生的,故用过去进行时的被动语态,填were being held。

2句意:毫无疑问大象随时都可以挣脱绳子,但是因为一些原因,他们没有。without没有,是一个介词,短语without doubt毫无疑问。根据下文These animals could break free whenever they wanted可知,大象可以弄断绳子,这是很显然的,故填without,没有。

3句意:毫无疑问大象随时都可以挣脱绳子,但是因为一些原因,他们没有。reason理由,原因,for some reasons因为一些原因。根据文意可知,大象可以弄断绳子,但是因为一些原因,他们没有,这个原因在下文中做出了介绍。

4句意:他在附近看到一个训练师,然后问这些动物为什么就站在那儿,而不努力地跑掉呢?根据句子结构可知,这个空应填一个谓语动词,而根据文意和常识可知,那些大象应该只是站在那里,故用动词stand,全文使用的是一般过去时态,这里应填过去式stood。

5句意:当他们很小的时候,我们使用相同的绳子来阻止他们逃跑。这里使用的句型是keep sb. from doing sth.阻止某人做某事,根据文意可知,用绳子把大象的腿捆起来,是为了防止他们逃跑。这里填动词不定式在句中作目的状语,故填to keep。

6句意:当他们长大的时候,他们还是认为他们不能弄断绳子。as时候,是一个连词,引导时间状语从句,符合句意。

7句意:他们认为绳子依然能够控制他们,因此他们从不试图挣脱。根据句意可知,这里说的是大象长大的时候,还是认为绳子能够控制他们,这里的they代指的是elephants,空前是动词hold,这里应用宾格形式,故填them。

8句意:这个人很吃惊。根据下句话These animals could break free whenever they wanted, but because they believed they couldn’t可知,这些大象不挣脱绳子,仅仅是因为他们认为他们不能做到,因此这个人觉得很吃惊。surprise是动词,使吃惊,这个空前是was系动词,因此应填形容词形式作表语。surprised感到吃惊的,修饰人。

9句意:他们还是被他们小的时候束缚他们的绳子给困住了。根据句子结构可知,这里是一个定语从句,先行词是the same rope,定语从句中缺少主语,故应填which,这是一个关系代词,先行词为物,引导定语从句,在从句中作主语或宾语。

10句意:我们中有多少人过着像大象一样的生活—坚持认为我们不能做到某件事,只是因为我们曾经失败过一次。simple是形容词,简单的,这个空是来修饰后面的状语从句的,应用副词形式simply,仅仅,简单地。

【题目】I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”

At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, snatched the phone, tore off the wires (电线), and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.

I stood watching her, speechless, what on earth…?

She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All things in this room — if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go! ”

Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.

After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could she have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

1Why did the writer shout, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are”?

A. He was impatient with the phone.

B. He was impatient with the secretary.

C. He was mad at the telephone.

D. He was angry with his agent.

2The underlined word “antics" means _________.

A. surprising looks

B. sweet kisses and smart words
