【解析】

一個老人去了印度,買了一些紅色的水果。當(dāng)他吃了這種“水果”之后,他的嘴唇發(fā)燙,眼淚直流,臉也變得很紅,原來他買的是辣椒。當(dāng)人們都勸他不要再吃的時候,他不聽,他覺得自己花錢買的,就要吃掉。通過講述這個故事作者告訴我們:如果你在一些不成功的事情上失去了很多,那就讓它過去,繼續(xù)前進(jìn),總比繼續(xù)輸更好。

1句意:最便宜的東西是一籃子紅色的水果。cheap便宜的,是一個形容詞。根據(jù)上句話When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap.可知,大多數(shù)水果都很便宜,這句話說的是其中最便宜的,故這里應(yīng)填最高級cheapest。

2句意:這個老人問:“多少錢一公斤?”ask問,是一個動詞。根據(jù)文意可知,短文講述的是發(fā)生在過去的一個故事,全文以一般過去時為主敘述,故這里應(yīng)填過去式asked。

3句意:兩盧比在印度幾乎一文不值,因此這個老人買了整整一公斤,開始吃起來。根據(jù)兩句話的意思可知,前一句話表示原因,后面這句話是結(jié)果,故這里填連詞so,意為“因此,所以”。

4句意:然而,他一開始吃,他的嘴就開始發(fā)燙,他的眼睛也流出了眼淚,他的臉也變得像那個水果一樣紅。burn燃燒,發(fā)熱,是一個動詞。空began的原形是begin,意為“開始”,常用于句型begin to do sth.或者begin doing sth.“開始做某事”,因此這里應(yīng)填to burn或者burning。

5句意:然而,他一開始吃,他的嘴就開始發(fā)燙,他的眼睛也流出了眼淚,他的臉也變得像那個水果一樣紅。根據(jù)句意可知,這里考查的是短語as…as…“和一樣”,故這里填as

6句意:他咳嗽著,掙扎著呼吸,上下跳躍,尖叫這:“啊,啊,。 up and down上上下下,是一個固定短語,故這里應(yīng)填down

7句意:看到他的一些人都搖著頭說:“你瘋了嗎?”head頭,是一個名詞。根據(jù)句意Some people who were looking at him shook可知,這里指的是“一些人的頭”,應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù),故填heads

8句意:這個老人自言自語說:“我花錢買的,所以我必須吃掉他們!he是人稱代詞主格形式,意為“他”。根據(jù)句意可知,老人對自己說,故這里應(yīng)填反身代詞himself

9句意:我們所有人都在某事上花費(fèi)時間或金錢,或許是一段關(guān)系、一個事業(yè)或者是一份工作。spend花費(fèi),是一個動詞。這一段是講完了故事,給我們總結(jié)其中的哲理,應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在時態(tài)?涨坝have,結(jié)合句意可知應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時,故這里填過去分詞spent。

10句意:從這個老人身上我們學(xué)到的東西是:如果你在一些不成功的事情上失去了很多,那就讓它過去,繼續(xù)前進(jìn),總比繼續(xù)輸更好。根據(jù)句意可知,這里考查的是固定短語learn from…中學(xué)到。故應(yīng)填from。

這是一篇記敘文,通過講述一個愚蠢的老人的故事,作者講述一個道理。題型是語法填空,要求根據(jù)文意填寫適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~,或者用所給單詞的適當(dāng)形式填空。做題時,應(yīng)先通讀短文,了解文章大意;然后根據(jù)上下文語境填寫適當(dāng)單詞。給出單詞的,應(yīng)根據(jù)單詞在句中的作用以及句中使用的句型,變化單詞的適當(dāng)形式。例如第5小題,根據(jù)句意可知,這里考查的是短語as…as…“和一樣”,表示同級比較,故這里填as。再如第7小題,head頭,是一個名詞。根據(jù)句意Some people who were looking at him shook可知,這里指的是“一些人的頭”,應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù),故填heads。

I go for long runs and bike rides beside the beach. An hour of exercise after a long day of writing gives me energy. Then I'm ready to write some more.

Do you write using a computer or by hand?

X-ray vision(影像)if I can control it.

What is your favourite food?

I'm never happier than when I'm drinking banana milkshakes. And I love fish. But I don't like drinking fish milkshakes - they are just terrible!

What is your favourite book?

Alice in Wonderland. It has so many surprises and such silliness in it.

Do you write for adults too?

Only if I really have to. I much prefer the freedom and fun of writing for children.

What do you say to kids who say, "Why should I read?"

As Dr. Seuss says. "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go."
