Answer 1

答案：D;A;C;A;B;D;C;A;A;A
解析：

剖析：1．該句為過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，助動(dòng)詞were和現(xiàn)在分詞構(gòu)成謂語(yǔ)，只有C、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)與該句的時(shí)態(tài)形式相符．talk to sb表示“對(duì)某人說(shuō)話”，“跟某人交談”的意思；talk about sb or sth意為“談?wù)撃橙嘶蚰呈隆保�全文主要談�(wù)摻逃�孩子的方法�?/P> 　　2．此處的人稱代詞，應(yīng)與主語(yǔ)的人稱和數(shù)相一致．句子主語(yǔ)parents為第三人稱復(fù)數(shù)． 　　3．由空白后的“a big，strong tree and a thin，young one”可作出正確判斷，表示在二者之間，介詞須用between． 　　4．下文“and the young tree bent over to one side”已作出提示，該空白處應(yīng)填形容詞young．這里的“a thin，young one”和下文中的“the young tree”指的是同一棵小樹(shù)．在第二次提到上文出現(xiàn)過(guò)的名詞時(shí)，屬于特指，應(yīng)用定冠詞the． 　　5．生活常識(shí)告訴我們，生長(zhǎng)彎曲的小樹(shù)，扶直后用繩子綁在另一棵樹(shù)上，當(dāng)它還沒(méi)有長(zhǎng)直時(shí)，解開(kāi)繩子，小樹(shù)就會(huì)自然地彎向一邊．正確選項(xiàng)為A．表示二者中的“另一個(gè)”用the other，不定數(shù)目中的“另一個(gè)”用another，均與句意不符，不能選用． 　　6．我們對(duì)短文第一段中“The young man untied it, and the young tree bent over to one side.”及第二段中老人說(shuō)的話“Now tie it again”，“But first pull the line tight…”進(jìn)行綜合分析，可以推斷出該空白處應(yīng)填straight，這表明了老人讓把系小樹(shù)的繩子拉緊的目的在于讓小樹(shù)長(zhǎng)直．這個(gè)答案還可以從短文第二段中“If they are not yet able to stand alone, you must tie the line tight again.”一句判斷出來(lái)． 　　7．do常可用來(lái)代替上文出現(xiàn)過(guò)的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞或整個(gè)動(dòng)詞詞組．根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，此處空白應(yīng)填did，和后面的指示代詞this一起代替前面直接引語(yǔ)中的“tie it again”和“pull the line tight”． 　　8．在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有動(dòng)詞不定式to see能作目的狀語(yǔ)，與句意相符． 　　9．短文中用比喻的方法，說(shuō)明了培養(yǎng)孩子的獨(dú)立生活能力，和幫助彎曲的小樹(shù)長(zhǎng)直一樣，我們根據(jù)條件狀語(yǔ)從句中“If they are not yet able to stand alone”可以判斷出此處空白應(yīng)填副詞again，表示重復(fù)“tie the line tight”這個(gè)動(dòng)作． 　　10．所給四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的名詞，都可以作短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞take away的賓語(yǔ)，填入空白處語(yǔ)法都正確．但是我們根據(jù)前一句“If they are not yet able to stand alone, you must tie the line tight again.”就很容易判斷出正確答案．
