8.I was called to examine a dog named Belker.Its owners,and their little boy,Shane,loved Belker.
I found he was dying of cancer.I said we couldn't save Belker,and offered to perform the euthanasia.
As we made arrangements,the parents told me they thought(61)itwould be good for six-year-
old Shane to observe that.They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.The
next day,Shane seemed so calm,(62)petting( pet ) the old dog for the last time,(63)thatI
wondered if he understood what was going on.Soon Belker(64)died( die ) peacefully.The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without(65)difficulty( difficult ).We sat together after Belker's death,talking about the sad fact that animal lives are (66)shorter( short ) than human lives.Shane,who had been listenng(67)quietly( quiet ),said,"I know why."(68)surprised(surprise),we all turned to him.What came out of his mouth stunned me.I'd never heard a more comforting(69)explanation( explain ).He said,"People are born so that they can learn(70)howto live a a good life-----like loving everyday all the time and being nice,right?"The six---year---old boy continued,"Well,dogs already know how to d that,so they don't have to stay as long."
分析 本文寫了給一只小狗安樂死的故事,同時也教育了狗的小主人如何面對生活中的痛苦.
解答 1.it 考查代詞.根據上下文連詞,這里的it 指的是我想幫助Belker這件事.
2.petting 考查非謂語.Shane與動詞pet之間是主謂關系,所以用現在分詞在句中做伴隨狀語.
3.that 考查固定句型.so…that是英語中固定句型"如此…以至于…".他如此平靜以至于我想知道他是否明白了…,所以用that.
4.died 考查時態.本故事的敘述是用過去時,所以此處也是過去時.
5.difficulty 考查名詞.介詞without后跟名詞,所以答案是名詞difficulty.
6.shorter 考查比較級.在固定句型 than的前邊必須用形容詞的比較級來表達比較.
7.quietly 考查副詞.此處用副詞修飾動詞listen,安靜地聽著.
8.surprised 考查形容詞.此處是用形容詞做伴隨狀語,我們回頭轉向他,非常驚訝.
9.explanation 考查名詞.此處填寫的是heard的賓語,所以用名詞explanation.
10.how 考查固定用法.疑問詞+to do 可以在句中做賓語,句意:他們可以學到如何過幸福的生活.
