语篇分析:
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述当作者看到大象前腿上系着一根细绳,大象却不会挣脱时,感到惊讶。驯象师告诉他这是因为大象在很小的时候,因为挣脱不了这个绳子,他长大了仍然以为挣脱不了,所以就放弃努力了。本文通过讲述栓大象的绳子来告诉我们,面对失败,不要放弃,要坚持斗争;失败是生活中的一部分,应该不要放弃挣扎。
答案详解:
61. 句意:它只是绑在它们的一条腿上。 根据前句“All?that?was?holding?them?back?from?running?away?from?the?camp?was?a?small?piece?of?rope所有阻止他们逃离营地的都是一根小绳子”可知,空前的it指a?small?piece?of?rope,结合所提供单词可知,此处是说它只是“绑”在它们的一条腿上,是被动语态,所以用tie的过去分词形式,be?tied?to?one?of?their?legs符合语境。故填tied。
62. 句意:想知道真相,所以他问附近的一个训象师为什么会这样。 根据后面“he?asked?a?trainer?nearby?why?it?was?so”结合前句“Why?didn't?the?elephants?just?use?their?power?to?break?the?rope?and?run?away??大象为什么不利用它们的力量来折断绳子逃跑呢”可知,此处是说想知道“真相”,结合所提供单词可知,应该用true的名词形式truth。故填truth。
63. 句意:在那个年龄,绳子已经足够拴住它们了。 根据前面句子“When?they?were?very?young?and?much?smaller,?we?used?the?same?size?of?rope?to?tie?them”结 合本句意思可知,在大象小的时候,绳子足以拴住它们,主语是it,所以动词应该用hold;本句句式是it?is?+形容词+to?do?sth,所以此处用hold的不定式形式to?hold。故填to?hold。
64.句意:所以他们没有勇气尝试挣脱 根据前句“Even?now,?they?believe?the?rope?can?still?control?them即使现在,他们相信绳子仍然可以控制它们”结合所提供单词可知,此处是说没有勇气尝试挣脱;根据空前的the可知,空处应该用little的最高级形式least。故填least。
65.句意:男人无语了。 根据后句“These?animals?were?able?to?break?away?from?the?rope?whenever?they?wanted”可知,此处是说男人无话可说了,结合所提供单词可知,此处应该用speech的形容词形式speechless,故填speechless。
66.句意:它们相信这是不可能的。 根据前句“but?it?was?only?because?over?time,”可知事实与前面所说的“These?animals?were?able?to?break?away?from?the?rope?whenever?they?wan-ted,”相反,所以此处是说这不可能,结合所提供单词可知,空处用possible的反义词impossible。故填impossible。
67. 句意:认为这超出了我们做某事的能力,仅仅是因为我们以前失败过一次或几次?根据前面“How?many?of?us?go through?life?like?the?elephants”结合后面“because?we?failed?once?or?some?times?before”可知,此处是说超出了我们的“能力”,结合所提供单词可知此处应该用ability或复数形式abilities。故填ability/abilities。
68.句意:失败是学习的一部分。 根据后面“If?we?fail?at?something,?we?can?still?get?something?from?it”结合常识及所提供单词可知,此处应该是说失败是“学习”的一部分,所以应该用learn的动名词形式learning。故填learning。
69.句意:过去的失败并不意味着我们将来永远不能成功。 根据空前“Failure?in?the?past”可知,此处应该是表达“成功”,情态动词can后跟动词原形,此处应该用动词形式,结合所提供单词可知,此处用success的动词形式succeed。故填succeed。
70.句意:即使我们经历了生活中的失败,我们自己要有信心地继续努力。 根据后面“even?after?we?have?experienced?failures?in?life”结合所提供单词可知,努力奋斗只能靠自己,所以用反身代词形式ourselves。故填ourselves。
