Question

【题目】短文填空
I remember the occasion when mother sent me to the main road, about twenty yards away from our house, to invite a passing group of seasonal work－seekers for a meal. She(instruct) me to take a basket along and collect dry cow dung(牛粪) for making a fire. I was then to prepare the meal for the group of work－seekers.
thought of making an open fire outside at midday,and(cook)in a large three－legged pot in that intense heat, was sufficient to upset even an angel. I did not manage to hide my feelings from my mother and, after serving the group, she called me to the veranda(走廊) she usually sat to attend to her sewing and knitting.
straight into my eyes, she asked “Why did you get angry I requested you to prepare a meal for those poor people?” my attempt to deny her blame，using the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for my rude behavior, mother, she gave me a firm look，(say), “You cannot detect what trouble may lie ahead of you.”
I (sudden) realized that if I had refused to offer this group of people a meal,would be impossible that in my travels some time in the future,I would get these individuals' help.

Answer 1

【答案】instructed；The；cooking；where；Looking；when；Despite；saying；suddenly；It
【解析】①考查谓语动词。本空在主语后,空格处需填谓语动词,整篇文章用的是一般过去时,因此应填动词的过去式。答案为instructed。

②考查冠词。本空在名词前,填定冠词The,表示特指。

③考查非谓语动词。由空格前的and可知,本空与前面的短语"making an open fire outside at midday"并列,作介词of的宾语,因此填cooking。

④考查定语从句。此处为定语从句,先行词为the veranda,关系词在从句中作地点状语,因此填关系副词where。

⑤考查现在分词。本空应填现在分词Looking,作状语,表示伴随状况。母亲直视着我的眼睛,问我为什么因帮助别人而闷闷不乐。

⑥考查状语从句。根据句意可知,空格处需填连词when,连接时间状语从句,意为"当……的时候"。

⑦考查介词(短语)。结合语境可知,此处填介词Despite"尽管"或介词短语 Regardless of"不顾,不管"都可以。

⑧考查现在分词。say与mother之间存在主谓关系,应用现在分词作状语,表示伴随状况。可知答案为saying。

⑨考查副词。空格在动词前,应填副词suddenly作状语,修饰动词。

⑩考查代词。代词it用作形式主语,代替后面的that引导的主语从句。
