【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。

Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple 【1】___________ powerful concept --- the ant philosophy (哲学).I think everybody should study ants.

They have an【2】___________(amaze) four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're heading somewhere and you try to stop them, they'll look for 【3】__________way. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They never quit looking for a way to get where they 【4】__________ (suppose) to go.

Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important viewpoint. You can't be so naive ( 天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and make【5】___________(prepare) for the long cold winter. You’ve got to think storms when it’s fine. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】but

【2】amazing

【3】another

【4】are supposed

【5】preparations

【6】themselves

【7】If

【8】an

【9】possibly

【10】What

【解析】

【1】but;此处考查关联词的应用。Simple（简单的）和powerful（强大的）两个词的意义相反，因此这里应该是表达转折。故填but。

【2】amazing;此处考查动词的形容词形式。amaze有两个形容词形式，一个是amazed感到吃惊的，另一个是amazing令人惊异的。前者常常主语是人，后者常常修饰事物。此处应该是表达令人惊异的四个哲理。故填amazing。

【3】another; 句意：一条路行不通，就找另外一条。此处的通常用法是one…another一个…另一个.故填another。

【4】are supposed;主谓一致。they是 where从句的主语，且be supposed to应该做某事，是固定搭配。故填are supposed。

【5】preparations;固定搭配。make preparations for sth为..做准备。故填reparations。

【6】themselves;句意：蚂蚁们提醒着自己。他们的反身代词是他们自己。故填themselves。

【7】If;考查if条件状语从句。it turns cold again, they'll dive back down是两个句子不可能用句号直接连接，因此考虑从句，一个句子是一般现在时，一个句子是一般将来时，而if引导条件状语从句时就要满足主句用将来时从句用现在时。故填If。

【8】an;考查冠词。ant是元音发音。故填an。

【9】possibly;考查副词。此处是修饰动词can,所以应用副词形式。故填possibly。

【10】What;考查what引导的主语从句。what做主语。故填what。
