【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】D

【4】E

【解析】

直到他不用往圍欄上釘釘子的那一天，他爸爸叫他拔釘子，指著留在圍欄上的洞、教育他，語言傷人如同釘子釘在墻上，釘子拔起來了，還會留下疤痕，叫他要善用語言。

【1】句意：漸漸地，釘在圍欄上的釘子的數(shù)量少了，到他不用釘釘子的那一天到來了。

根據(jù)上文釘在圍欄上的釘子的數(shù)量少了說明男孩逐漸改掉他的壞脾氣，推斷下文是“不用在圍欄上釘釘子的時候到來了”，故選C。

【2】句意： 幾天過去了，那個男孩能拔掉圍欄上多數(shù)的釘子。

空格在be able to后面，判斷填動詞原形；根據(jù)上文“his father told him to remove the nails every day as he had controlled his anger.”他的爸爸叫他當他能控制脾氣的時候就拔掉一顆釘子，推斷下文句意是“能拔掉多數(shù)的釘子”，pull out意為“拔出”，故選A。

【3】句意： 爸爸很欣賞他，指著其中一個洞，問他：“你看到什么？”

根據(jù)上文可知，男孩發(fā)脾氣釘下好多的釘子，拔掉后留下很多的洞，推斷爸爸是指著其中的一個洞，one of…意為“其中之一……”，故選D。

【4】句意：圍欄看起來不再是一樣的了。

根據(jù)上文“You can remove the nails but still see the holes in the fence.你可以拔掉釘子但還是看得見圍欄上的洞”，推斷下文句意是“圍欄看起來不再是一樣的了”，look the same意為“看起來一樣”，故選E。

用所給詞或詞組的適當形式填空，解答前要先解讀備選詞的詞義；再閱讀句子，根據(jù)句意推測空格所缺的信息；最后，根據(jù)詞性、固定搭配、語法，上下文聯(lián)系等確定詞或短語的正確形式。本篇屬于故事性文章，可以根據(jù)故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展推測空格所缺的內容。完成填詞后，要通讀全文，復核校對，檢查所填入的詞是否符合語境、文章是否內容完整通順。
