Question

Long ago, in a far-away place, an old tribal chief found himself terminally ill. So he called three most promising young villagers to his bedside and said, “As I ____1.____(leave) you soon, I hope you can do one more thing for me. Young men, you three are all ____2.____(usual) strong and resourceful, so I’d like you to strive to climb that high mountain we have always been worshipping _____3._____ a sacred place.

Three days later, the first young man returned smartly dressed and said ___4.____(smile),

“Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop____5.____I saw flowers of all sorts, spring water and singing birds. That’s a real nice place.”

The old tribal chief replied with a smile, “Son, I’ve been there before. it's not the mountaintop ____6.____the foot of the mountain. You can leave now.”

A week later, the second young man also returned. “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop ___7.___ a forest of tall pine trees and vultures circling in the air. That’s a really nice place.”

“What a pity!” said the chief. “Son, you’ve been halfway up the mountain rather than to the summit. Now you can leave .”

A month later, the third young man showed up in rags, his hair off-colored but his eyes clear and bright. 

“Lord, I succeeded in reaching the summit. There was nothing there but the highland wind and the blue sky ___8.___(hang) over the land.”

“So you saw nothing at all? Not even ___9.___butterfly?”

“No, Lord, nothing. All you can see is yourself. You just feel how insignificant you are in this infinite universe ___10.__ standing at the top!” 

“Son, you’ve reached the real mountaintop. Congratulations! You will be undoubtedly made our new tribal chief!”

試題分析：文章介紹一個(gè)酋長(zhǎng)快死了。他讓三個(gè)年輕人爬到他們當(dāng)成圣地崇拜的高山上，第一個(gè)人只到達(dá)山腳，第二個(gè)人只到了山坡，第三個(gè)人到達(dá)了山頂，感受到自己的渺小。但這真是酋長(zhǎng)想看見的。這個(gè)年輕人正是他要找的下個(gè)酋長(zhǎng)。

1.考查時(shí)態(tài)：由句子的soon可知酋長(zhǎng)說自己快死了。用一般將來時(shí)：am leaving/will leave

2.考查副詞：修飾形容詞strong and resourceful, 應(yīng)該用副詞unusually，句意：你們?nèi)齻�(gè)通常是很強(qiáng)壯的并富于機(jī)智。

3.考查介詞：as是“做為”，酋長(zhǎng)讓三個(gè)年輕人爬到他們當(dāng)成圣地崇拜的高山上。

4.修飾動(dòng)詞said用副詞：smilingly，第一個(gè)人穿著漂亮，面帶微笑說。

5.考查定語從句，先行詞是mountaintop，定語從句中缺少地點(diǎn)狀語：where。

6.考查not…but…結(jié)構(gòu)，這不是山頂而是山腳

7.考查介詞：with 符合結(jié)構(gòu)做定語，第二個(gè)人看見有一排松樹的山頂。

8.考查現(xiàn)在分詞做定語：hanging over the land是定語修飾sky，第三個(gè)人到了山頂，看見的是高地和懸掛在頭頂?shù)奶炜铡?/p>

9.考查冠詞：這里泛指“一個(gè)蝴蝶“，用a

10.考查連詞：while 當(dāng)…時(shí)候，在山頂?shù)臅r(shí)候，你會(huì)覺得自己是多么渺小。

考點(diǎn)：考查語法填空
