【1題詳解】
考查時態(tài)。句意:從前有一個護林人到森林里去打獵,當他走進森林時,聽到一聲尖叫,好像有個小孩在那里。根據上文“There was once a forester who went into the forest to hunt”可知描述過去發(fā)生的事情用一般過去時。故填entered。
【2題詳解】
考查時態(tài)。句意:他順著聲音走,最后來到一棵高高的樹下,樹頂上坐著一個孩子,因為媽媽抱著孩子在樹下睡著了。結合語境,“睡著”發(fā)生在護林人來之前,即“過去的過去”應用過去完成時。故填had fallen。
【3題詳解】
考查代詞。句意:護林人爬了上去,把孩子抱下來,心想:“我要把他帶回家,和莉娜一起撫養(yǎng)他。”此處指護林人自己應用反身代詞himself。故填himself。
【4題詳解】
考查時態(tài)。句意:護林人爬了上去,把孩子抱下來,心想:“我要把他帶回家,和莉娜一起撫養(yǎng)他。”直接引語中表示將來的動作,應用一般將來時。故填will take。
【5題詳解】
考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意:他在樹上找到的那個叫Fundevogel的孩子,因為一只鳥把他叼走了。主語與謂語構成被動關系,且描述過去發(fā)生的事情,用一般過去時的被動語態(tài),主語為one,謂語用單數。故填was called。
【6題詳解】
考查狀語從句。句意:Fundevogel和Lina深愛著對方,當他們看不到對方時,他們都很傷心。引導結果狀語從句,表示“如此……以至于……”應用so…that…。故填so。
【7題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:然而,森林管理員有一個老廚子,一天晚上,他提著兩桶水開始打水,不止一次,而是很多次,去打泉水。cook為可數名詞,此處表泛指應用不定冠詞,且old是發(fā)音以元音音素開頭的單詞。故填an。
【8題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:如果你不告訴任何人,我就告訴你原因。結合語境表示“向任何人訴說”應用介詞to。故填to。
【9題詳解】
考查時態(tài)。句意:莉娜說她不會說的。此處主句為一般過去時,賓語從句也應用過去相對應的時態(tài),此處為過去將來時。故填would never repeat。
【10題詳解】
考查狀語從句。句意:等壺里的水開了,我就把Fundevogel扔進去,把它煮了。引導時間狀語從句,表示“當……時候”應用when。句首單詞首字母要大寫。故填When。
