Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’ daily life.
Behind these (proverb) there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “ （pull） up a crop to helpit grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) was very anxious to help (he)rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about it day night. But the crop was growing much (slow) than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired after doing this for a whole day, yet he felt very happy since crop did “grow” higher.
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. (fortunate) the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often results in the contrary to our (intend).

Answer 1

【答案】proverb；Pulling；his；and；slower；that；the；Unfortunately；natural；intention
【解析】①名词proverb前有these修饰，故应该使用其复数形式，故填proverbs。
②此处应该使用动名词作主语，注意首字母需大写。
③此处应该使用形容词性物主代词自杀式名词rice crop。
④day and night，固定用法“日日夜夜”，故此处填表示并列的连词and。
⑤ 句意：庄稼生长得比他期望的慢得多。句中的much和than是提示。故填slow的比较级形式。
⑥此处是一个同位语从句，that引导的同位语从句he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches解释说明idea的内容。
⑦此处表特指，应该使用定冠词the，指前面提到的庄稼。
⑧句意：不幸的是，庄稼的叶子开始枯萎了。此处应使用fortunate的反义词的副词形式。注意首字母需大写。
⑨此处指自然过程。形容词natural修饰名词course。
⑩此处应该使用intend的名词形式，因其前有our这个形容词性物主代词修饰。
