【分析】
做这类首字母填空的题目,第一步要先通读整篇短文,理清文章核心大意:本文介绍了起源于巴西的特色运动manbol的由来,它从孩童之间扔芒果的小游戏逐步发展而来。第二步逐空结合上下文语境、给出的首字母提示、对应的语法规则和固定搭配推导单词,同时要注意单词的正确形式,比如名词单复数、动词的非谓语形式、人称代词的宾格变形等,最后再通读检查填入后全文语义是否通顺、逻辑合理。
【解析】
1. 空前有many修饰可数名词复数,句意为“芒果在很多国家都是很受欢迎的水果”,首字母为c,对应单词countries。
2. 空后修饰名词game,需要形容词作定语,句意为“那里的孩子经常互相扔芒果作为一项有趣的游戏”,首字母为i,对应形容词interesting。
3. 此处是固定搭配come from表示“来自”,主语The name是第三人称单数,谓语动词用三单形式,首字母为c,对应comes。
4. 此处是固定搭配enjoy doing sth. 表示“喜欢做某事”,后面搭配games表示玩游戏,首字母为p,对应动名词playing。
5. 句意为“一开始,这只是我们两个人之间的简单游戏”,表示在两者之间用介词between,首字母为b,对应between。
6. 空前有介词at,后面要用人称代词的宾格形式,句意为“我的哥哥Rogerio把芒果扔向我,我再扔回去”,首字母为m,对应宾格me。
7. 此处是固定搭配join in表示“参加(活动)”,空前want to后面接动词原形,首字母为j,对应join。
8. 空后rules是可数名词复数,句意为“之后Hildebrando为这个游戏制定了一些规则”,首字母为s,对应some。
9. 句意为“Manbol对各个年龄段的人来说都是很棒的运动”,表示“对于”用介词for,首字母为f,对应for。
10. 空前有助动词will,后面接动词原形,句意为“她梦想这项运动有一天能成为奥运会项目”,首字母为b,可以填be或者become。
【答案】
1. countries 2. interesting 3. comes 4. playing 5. between 6. me 7. join 8. some 9. for 10. be/become
