Answer 1

答案：
解析：

　　1．food

　　2．trunk

　　3．instead

　　4．treated

　　5．When

　　6．broke

　　7．straight

　　8．covered

　　9．a(chǎn)s/though

　　10．punished

提示：

　　1．由信息句It used to come into the dining room after dinner可知小象到廚房去要“食物”。

　　2．trunk意為“象鼻子”。

　　特別提示：

　　trunk“樹干；象鼻”；branch“樹枝”；leave“樹葉”；root“樹根”。

　　3．考查介詞短語instead of意為“而不是”。

　　4．考查時態(tài)。因?yàn)楣适轮械氖乱堰^去，故而故事中的動詞要用一般過去式。

　　5．考查連詞。結(jié)合句意可知此處需要一個表示時間先后關(guān)系的連詞，又因?yàn)榫渲衒inished it為瞬間性動詞，因此填入when。

　　6．考查不規(guī)則動詞的過去式。由句中并列的謂語動詞went和returned可知此處所提供動詞要用過去式。

　　7．考查副詞。go straight to意為“徑直朝……走去”。

　　8．考查固定搭配。be covered with“覆蓋著”。

　　9．考查引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，as/though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句時，從句要用倒裝語序，此時as意為“盡管”。

　　特別提示：

　　引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的常見句式為：

　�、倜�詞＋as/though＋主語＋系動詞

　　Child as he is, he knows a lot．

　　注意：child前的冠詞a要省去。

　�、谛稳菰~＋as/though＋主語＋系動詞

　　Pretty though she is, she isn’t kind．

　　③副詞＋as/though＋主語＋動詞

　　Much as the couple needed money to pay for their new house, they didn’t ask their parents for help．

　　10．結(jié)合句意和空格前面的be可知，空格處需用動詞的過去分詞。
