Murugan,Ganesh's brother,glowed with pride knowing the prize would soon be,for he could fly(swift) in his chariot（敞篷双轮马车）,circle the earth,and be back in only hours,while his big,clumsy brother Ganesh would take so much(long) to do the same.
Bidding farewell to his parents,Murugan set off happily.Ganesh thought for a moment,then smiled and (begin) to move.His large elephant with its heavy trunk did slow him down,he did not have far to go.For he simply walked carefullyboth of his parents.In a few minutes he had circled them, (stand) respectfully in front of his father once again.
“Father, please give me the prize,”he said.
“Why? You did not go around the world.You stayed right here,”replied Siva.
“But Father,” argued Ganesh, “I have just gone around the world.You see, my parents are indeed theworld to me.”His parents smiled, well pleased.
Much later, a tired Murugan returned home., the prize was already eaten up.And now you know who won it and why.

Answer 1

【答案】whoever；his；swiftly；longer；began；but；round/around；standing；whole；However
【解析】本文主要讲述了明智的父亲建议两个儿子的一次比赛。最终聪明的 Ganesh获胜。
(1) 考查宾语从句。句意：父亲说，谁绕世界环游速度最快就得到糖果奖励。whoever引导宾语从句，表示“任何一个”，即他们谁最先完成，谁就可以得到奖励。所以答案是whoever。
(2) 考查代词。句意：Murugan骄傲的认为奖励不久就是他的。故填his。
(3) 考查副词。句意：因为他能驾着马车迅速地飞遍世界，几小时就能完成。副词swiftly修饰动词fly。故填swiftly。
(4) 考查比较级。句意：他认为Ganesh花的时间会比他的长，因此用比较级。故填longer。
(5) 考查时态。句意：Ganesh 想了一会，微笑着开始行动。与smiled的时态一致，即都用一般过去时。故填began。
(6) 考查连词。句意：但是他没走远。根据上下文可知，前后是转折关系。故填but。
(7) 考查介词。句意：他只是绕着他的父母转圈儿。故填round/around。
(8) 考查非谓语。句意：没用几分钟他就绕父母转了一圈，然后尊敬的站在父亲面前。standing respectfully in front of his father once again是现在分词短语作状语。故填standing。
(9) 考查形容词。句意：父母是他的整个世界(是他的一切)。故填whole。
(10) 考查副词。句意： 劳累的Murugan回来时，奖励已经被吃光了。表示转折关系，且有逗号隔开，故填However。
