笨笨高中英语之四 语法填空

这里没有速成法，只有踏踏实实一步一个脚印的学习。我从不相信真正的学习会有捷径可走。

____4___ (abandon) by his mother when he was just two months old, Qizai spent his early years at the Shaanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Center.

He Xin, ___7___ spends 18 hours a day looking after Qizai, says the ____8____ (adore) giant panda is slower than his black and white peers. He takes longer to respond when called and also eats at ____9___ slower pace. But that does not stop Qizai from eating ___10___ (greed) a healthy diet of Chinese flour buns, milk, and as much as 44 pounds of bamboo everyday.

答案及解析：

1. more precious。根据句意，与其他大熊猫相比，Qizai更为宝贵，并且空格前有even，该词后要接形容词或副词的比较级形式，precious的比较级为more precious。

1. pandas。空格前有a handful of，意为“少量”，panda又是可数名词，所以用复数。

3. Though/Although/While。从空格处到该句句点之间有两个句子，分别是the 220 pounds … world和life has … easy。英语中一个句子结束了必须划上句点，否则应有连接词连接，所以可知空格处应该是酌情填入一个连接词。再根据上下文语义逻辑，填入表示“虽然，尽管”的连词。该句意思为”虽然Qizai现在是动物界的超级明星，但是他的生活并不总是这么容易。“

4. Abandoned。从空格处到下一个句点之间，可见动词为spent，该词是过去时，是用来充当句子谓语的形式，而该句之前是逗号，说明逗号前与该句属于同一个句子，根据”在没有连词连接的情况下，一个句子只能有一个谓语动词“的原则，再加上整个句子中的确找不到任何连词，所以可以判定空格处填入的词必须是非谓语形式，这种形式属于分词作状语，abandon和祝居住于Qizai之间是被动关系，Qizai是“被抛弃”，所以填入过去分词。

5. been nursed。once在此处表示“一旦，一…就…”，是一个连词，引导条件状语从句he had … ，主句是the giant panda …… other giant pandas。既然是从句，则应该有谓语（英语中主句和从句都必须有自己的谓语），可知空格中要填入的是谓语形式，和空格前的had一起充当句子的谓语，nurse可以是动词，意为“细心照看”，主语是he，是被照料，所以填入been nuesed。

6. to realize。空格前的appear决定了该空的形式。appear此处意为“似乎，好像”，其后面接形容词、名词、或者动词不定式。

7. who。从上一个句点到下一个句点之间有两个可充当句子谓语的形式，分别为spends和says。由此可知，空格中应该是一个连接词，这个连接词同时还得充当spends这个动词的主语，再结合空格前的HeXin这个名词，判断出两个逗号之间的内容应该是一个定语从句，则定语从句缺主语指人填入关系代词who，这样从句完整了，主从句之间的连接词也有了。

8. adorable。空格后是名词giant panda，空格前是修饰该名词的定冠词the，可知空格中应该是修饰该名词的形容词，adore对应的形容词有两个，adoring和adorable，前者意为“崇拜的，敬慕的”，后者意为“可爱的，讨人喜欢的”，可知后者意思符合，故填入adorable。

9. a。空格前是介词at，空格后是名词pace，根据这两个词就可以想起学过的一个词组：at a/an… pace，“以怎样的速度”，所以空格中填入a。

10. greedily。空格前是eating，空格后是名词词组a healthy diet of …，再加上句意，可知 a healthy diet of …是eating的宾语，空格中的词应该是修饰eating的，eat此处为动词，修饰动词需要副词，greed是名词，意为“贪婪，贪心”，它的形容词是“greedy”，贪婪的，贪心的，其副词是greedily。
