Answer 1

分析 这是一个很有教育意义的小故事．Mike在花园里看书，妈妈一遍一遍的指着麻雀问他那是什么，在第三遍的时候Mike生气的对着妈妈大喊不要打扰他．这时，妈妈拿出一个小笔记本让他看．上面记着在Mike小的时候，也曾经指着麻雀一遍一遍的问妈妈那是什么，在第二十次的时候，妈妈仍然耐心的回答他，Mike为自己的行为感到羞愧．
父母给了你很多东西，但是往往在失去时你才意识到．

解答 41．but．考查连词．Mike felt quite surprised表示他对妈妈这么问很奇怪，但是他还是回答了，所以用but表示转折．
42．which．考查非限制性定语从句．修饰整个主句his mother pointed to the same sparrow and asked the same question again，做从句的主语，表示"这件事"用which．
43．angrier．考查形容词的比较级．和上句呼应，由even修饰用比较级．angrier，表示"更生气了"．
44．an．考查冠词．修饰名词old diary，表示"一本旧日记"用不定冠词an．
45．it．考查代词．代指 an old diary用it．
46．was watering．考查动词的时态．be doing…when…是固定句式，表示"正在做某事时，另一个动作发生了"．本句表示"我正在浇水，你指着草丛里的鸟问我是什么．"
47．Pointing．考查非谓语动词．Point做伴随状语，和主语littl e Mike 是主动关系，所以用Pointing．
48．for．考查介词．for表示"因为"，解释shame的原因．
49．more．考查固定短语．more  often than not表示往往，多半．
50．that．考查强调句式．和it is构成强调句式，强调 not until they are gone，表示"直到他们去世，才意识到这一点．"

点评 1、名词，就要注意单复数；
2、动词，就要注意主谓一致、时态和语态的一致性；
3、形容词和副词，就要注意形容词和副词之间的转化规则；
4、词组和短语，就要注意固定搭配．
