【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填人适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. When he 【1】(ask) why he was able to succeed, he gave the answer.

I got 【3】 (frighten) and I didn’t know what to do!” he said.

Instead of 【4】(punish) him, his mother asked him to play in the milk for a while. Then she said, “ You know, we failed in how to 【5】(successful) carry a big milk bottle with two tiny 【6】(hand) just now. Let’s go out in the yard and fill the bottle 【7】 water to see if you can discover a way to carry it.”

This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he 【8】(know) he didn’t need

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。一位著名科学家和大家分享了他成功的一个小故事：小时候，有一次他把牛奶洒在了地板上。母亲非但没有批评他，反而让他玩了一会儿。通过这次经历，科学家明白了一个道理：犯错其实是学习新东西的机会。即使实验“不成功”，我们通常也能从中学到一些有价值的东西。

【1】考查时态和语态。句意：当他被问到为什么他能够成功的时候，他给出了答案。主语he和ask之间是被动关系，该句应用被动语态。且根据主语中的gave可知，该句应用一般过去时态。故填was asked。

【2】考查代词。根据下文他的讲述内容可知，他谈论的是自己的妈妈对自己的影响。且该空修饰名词mother，应用形容词性物主代词。故填his。

【3】考查形容词。句意：我很害怕，我不知道该做些什么。get是系动词，后面接形容词作表语。且此处表示人的情绪，应用frightened。故填frightened。

【4】考查动名词。该空作介词of的宾语，应用动名词，故填punishing。

【5】考查副词。句意：刚才我们没能成功地用两只小手拎起一个大牛奶瓶。该空修饰动词carry，应用副词。故填successfully。

【6】考查名词。空前有two修饰，应用名词复数。故填hands。

【7】考查介词。句意：我们到院子里去，把瓶子装满水，看看你能不能想个办法把它搬过来。该题考查固定搭配fill sth. with sth.，意为“用……装满……”，故填介词with。

【8】考查时态。句意：这位著名的科学家接着说，就在那一刻，他知道他不需要害怕犯错，错误其实是学习新东西的机会。该空在句中作谓语，且根据上下文可知，这是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时态。故填knew。

【9】考查定语从句。“____9____ were actually opportunities for learning something new”是定语从句，修饰mistakes，引导词在从句中作主语，指物，应用关系代词which/that引导该从句。故填which/that。

【10】考查形容词。句意：我们通常从中学到一些有价值的东西。该空修饰不定代词，应用形容词，故填valuable。
