Question

【题目】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。
Long ago, there lived in Greece a (learn) man. He was well-known for his knowledge of almosteverything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn fromhim. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered theirquestions with great (patient).
One day, a student asked him, “My dearteacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many more questions about things thanwe do? I think we students have far more than you.”
With a smile on his face, the teacher (draw) two circles, one as large as abig cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned muchmore. But is wrong to think ateacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles.The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of thesmaller one is(you). Out ofthe circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have (use) the longer line to draw thebigger circle. That (mean) Ihave more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myselfhave more questions than you do. The (much) you learn, the more questionsyou have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

Answer 1

【答案】Learned；so；patience；But；drew；it；yours；to use；means；more
【解析】本文属于语言故事，通过古希腊的智者所说的话告诉我们：学无止境。
①learned 考查形容词。形容词learned博学的；过去分词转换的形容词通常修饰人或与人有关的事物。句意：很久之前，在希腊生活着一个博学的人。
②so 考查连词短语。连词短语so...that...如此...以至于...；so的后面要接形容词或副词。句意：他是如此的有名以至于世界各地很多人都来这里向他学习。
③patience 考查名词。名词patience耐心；在英语中形容词后面通常接名词。本句中形容词great修饰名词patience。
④But 考查连词。句意：亲爱的老师，你不是说你比我们学生有更多的问题吗？但是我认为我们学生的问题比你还要多。根据句意可知上下文之间为转折关系，所以使用表示转折关系的连词but。
⑤drew 考查时态。根据文章第一段longago可知本文叙述的是过去发生的事情，所以使用一般过去时。
⑥ it 考查形容词主语。在英语中只有it可以充当形式主语和形式宾语。本句转换it是形式主语 ，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to think a teacher has fewerquestions than his students.
⑦yours 考查名词性物主代词。本句中yours=your knowledge of things。句意：大圆圈的内部是我的知识，小的圆圈内部是你的知识。
⑧to use 考查固定结构。短语have to do sth不得不做某事；句意：因为我的圆圈更大，所以我不得不用更长的线来画更大的圈。
⑨means 考查时态。本句是直接引语，直接引语中通常使用一般现在时。
⑩more 考查固定句式。句式：The +比较级...，the+比较级。意为“越...就越...”。
