　　(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.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，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　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　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　break away from ...“从……突然挣脱，从……逃脱”。

　　4．to get　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　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　much修饰形容词比较级。

　　7．can　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　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　此处应用现在分词作伴随状语。

　　10．simply　仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过吗？此处应用副词作状语。

　　Ⅱ.短文改错

　　Harry told them he __3__ (get) the yard in shape as a Christmas gift for his mother, who had died several years before. “My mother was all I had. She loved her yard and trees, so I do this for her every Christmas.”

　　His words touched the girls and soon they __4__ (join) him, pulling weeds. When they finished, Harry pressed a coin into each of their hands. “I wish I could pay you more, but that's all I've got right now，” he said.

　　The girls had often passed his house, and they remembered that it had always been __5__ poor condition. No decorations to add cheeriness were anywhere in sight.

With __9__ (tremble) hands, he held the gloves to his face and wept. No doubt he once again felt __10__ love of others as the girls reached out to him.

　　2．of/from/through　根据语境可知，Harry的手指头从破旧的手套中露了出来。

　　3．was getting/would get　根据语境可知，两个女孩停下来和Harry交谈，问他为什么要这么做，于是Harry告诉了她们自己的打算，故表示将来的事情，即用过去将来时was getting/would get。

　　4．joined　根据“and”的提示可知，前后时态应一致，故用一般过去时，与“touched”呼应。

　　5．in　根据固定短语搭配in ...condition“处于……状态”可知，应用介词in。

　　6．guilt　介词后应跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故用名词guilt作介词of的宾语。
