Ⅱ.语法填空
(2016·山西省考前质检)As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope __1__ (tie) to their front leg. No chains, no cages. __2__was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break __3__from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt __4__ (get) away. “Well，”__5__ trainer said, “when they are very young and much __6__ (small), we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe the rope __7__ still hold them, so they never try to run free.”
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but __8__ they believed they couldn?t, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life __9__ (hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something, __10__ (simple) because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
语篇解读：本文通过大象被绳子拴住却不挣脱的现象告诉我们：不要固步自封，不要因为担心失败而放弃拼搏。
1．tied 考查非谓语动词。大象仅由一根系在前腿的小绳拴住。rope和tie之间是动宾关系，故此处用过去分词表被动。
2．It 考查代词。显而易见，大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子。分析句子成分可知，It在句中作形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语。
3．away 考查动词短语。break away from ...“从……突然挣脱，从……逃脱”。
4．to get 考查非谓语动词。他看见附近有位驯兽师，就问为什么这些动物只是站在那里而不试图逃跑呢？make an attempt to do sth.“试图做某事”。
5．the 考查冠词。这位驯兽师说：“当它们还年幼、较小时，我们使用同样大小的绳子拴住它们。”此处用定冠词the表示特指。
6．smaller 考查形容词比较级。much修饰形容词比较级。
7．can 考查情态动词。当它们长大时，它们就习惯性地认为绳子依然能够拴住它们。此处用情态动词can表示一般的能力。
8．because 考查原因状语从句。这些大象在任何时候都能够挣脱绳子，但是因为它们认为不能，所以它们就待在原处。
9．hanging 考查非谓语动词。此处应用现在分词作伴随状语。
10．simply 考查词性转换。仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗？此处应用副词作状语。
练(二) 第Ⅱ卷强化增分·组块专练——练规范
(限时：45分钟)
Ⅰ.语法填空
(2016·贵阳市适应性监测考试)Just the other day the family and I were sitting down at the table __1__ (prepare) to eat dinner. My wife grabbed the plates out of the kitchen and placed them in front of us.__2__ (immediate) my son screamed, “I don?t want this. I want something I like.” He had never had what we were eating before.It was new to him.The color combination was not like any other food he had ever __3__ (consume). The smell and texture was__4__ (difference). Instead of trying the new he would rather starve. Instead__5__changing he would rather get in trouble.
The debate__6__ (continue) for a full seven minutes before he finally “decided” to take__7__bite. As soon as the food touched his tongue he smiled, started to dance__8__could not stop talking about how good it was. The boy ate up all the food in his plate and tried to eat some of__9__ (me). Later, whenever the same meal was__10__ (present) and we went through the exact same situation all over again.“I want something I like.”
1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一家人在一起吃饭时发生的一件事。作者的儿子刚开始不愿意吃没吃过的菜，但是在尝了一口之后，却对这道菜赞不绝口。
1.preparing 因为prepare与这句话的主语“the family and I”之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应用prepare的现在分词形式作伴随状语。故填preparing。
2．Immediately 此处所填词修饰后面整个句子，故应用副词immediately。immediately位于句首，首字母要大写。故填Immediately。
3．consumed “he had ever______(consume)”是定语从句，主句为过去时，从句意为“他曾经吃过的”，故从句时态应为过去完成时，所以此处应用consume的过去分词形式，即consumed。
4．different 根据空格前的系动词“was”，并结合语境可知，此处应用difference的形容词形式，即different，构成系表结构。
5．of instead of 是固定搭配，意为“代替，而不是”，后接名词、代词或动名词，符合题意。故填of。
6．continued 因为这句话的主语“The debate”和continue之间是主谓关系，而且根据上下文语境可知，此处描述的是过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时。故填continued。
7．a bite 作名词意为“一口”时是可数名词，且此处泛指“咬了一口”，故此处应用不定冠词 a。
8．and 因为本句中的“smiled”，“started”和“could not stop”是三个并列的谓语动词，它们之间是顺承关系，所以此处应用and。
9．mine 根据语境可知，作者的儿子想吃作者盘子里的菜，所以此处所填词应是指代作者盘子里的菜，故应用名词性物主代词，即mine。
10．presented 句子主语“the same meal”和present 之间是动宾关系，空格前已有was，所以此处只需填present的过去分词形式，即presented。
Ⅱ.短文改错

第三句：convenient前加a
第四句：去掉more
第五句：made→makes
第六句：up→off
第七句：much→many
第八句：lack→lacking
第九句：careful→carefully
第十句：As→Even; it→them
Ⅲ.书面表达
