【1题详解】
考查时态。句意:从前有一个护林人到森林里去打猎,当他走进森林时,听到一声尖叫,好像有个小孩在那里。根据上文“There was once a forester who went into the forest to hunt”可知描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时。故填entered。
【2题详解】
考查时态。句意:他顺着声音走,最后来到一棵高高的树下,树顶上坐着一个孩子,因为妈妈抱着孩子在树下睡着了。结合语境,“睡着”发生在护林人来之前,即“过去的过去”应用过去完成时。故填had fallen。
【3题详解】
考查代词。句意:护林人爬了上去,把孩子抱下来,心想:“我要把他带回家,和莉娜一起抚养他。”此处指护林人自己应用反身代词himself。故填himself。
【4题详解】
考查时态。句意:护林人爬了上去,把孩子抱下来,心想:“我要把他带回家,和莉娜一起抚养他。”直接引语中表示将来的动作,应用一般将来时。故填will take。
【5题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:他在树上找到的那个叫Fundevogel的孩子,因为一只鸟把他叼走了。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为one,谓语用单数。故填was called。
【6题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:Fundevogel和Lina深爱着对方,当他们看不到对方时,他们都很伤心。引导结果状语从句,表示“如此……以至于……”应用so…that…。故填so。
【7题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,森林管理员有一个老厨子,一天晚上,他提着两桶水开始打水,不止一次,而是很多次,去打泉水。cook为可数名词,此处表泛指应用不定冠词,且old是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【8题详解】
考查介词。句意:如果你不告诉任何人,我就告诉你原因。结合语境表示“向任何人诉说”应用介词to。故填to。
【9题详解】
考查时态。句意:莉娜说她不会说的。此处主句为一般过去时,宾语从句也应用过去相对应的时态,此处为过去将来时。故填would never repeat。
【10题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:等壶里的水开了,我就把Fundevogel扔进去,把它煮了。引导时间状语从句,表示“当……时候”应用when。句首单词首字母要大写。故填When。
