【分析】
这是一篇基础类的语法短文填空题,解题时首先要通读全文,从开头的"Once upon a time"就能确定整篇故事的核心时态是一般过去时,同时理清故事的逻辑主线:花园里的树和蔬菜闹矛盾最终和解的过程。之后逐个分析每个空的考点:先判断空格需要的词性(动词、名词、形容词、冠词、介词、连词等),再结合对应的语法规则、固定搭配和上下文语境推导答案,全部填完后再通读全文验证时态和逻辑是否通顺,就能得到正确结果。
【解析】
1. 考查there be句型和时态:全文讲述过去发生的故事,用一般过去时,there be句型遵循就近原则,靠近be动词的主语是单数的a tree,因此填was。
2. 考查名词复数:限定词some后接可数名词时需要用复数形式,vegetable是可数名词,因此变为复数vegetables。
3. 考查形容词作表语:句中be动词was后需要接形容词作表语,副词happily要转换为形容词happy,构成固定搭配be happy with,意为“对……满意”。
4. 考查定冠词:此处特指前文已经提到过的那棵树的阴影,指代特定对象要使用定冠词the。
5. 考查介词固定搭配:空格后接动名词结构,表达“通过某种方式做某事”的含义,by doing sth是固定结构,意为“通过做某事”,因此填by。
6. 考查非谓语动词:stop doing sth是固定搭配,意为“停止正在做的事”,此处指园丁停止给树和蔬菜浇水,因此give变为动名词giving。
7. 考查转折连词:前半句含义是“它们没有办法存活更久”,后半句含义是“其中一棵最小的蔬菜想要解决问题”,前后是转折逻辑,因此填转折连词but。
8. 考查动词时态:全文为一般过去时,谓语动词grow要变为对应的过去式grew。
9. 考查人称代词宾格:动词provided后面需要接人称代词的宾格作宾语,主格they要转换为宾格them。
10. 考查不定式结构:空格前的to是不定式符号,后面需要接动词原形,此处不定式作目的状语,因此填make。
【答案】
1. was 2. vegetables 3. happy 4. the 5. by 6. giving 7. but 8. grew 9. them 10. make
【知识点】
there be句型,词形变换,固定搭配
【点评】
本题属于初中英语基础难度的短文填空题,考点覆盖了时态变化、名词单复数、词性转换、虚词(冠词/介词/连词)用法、非谓语动词等核心基础知识点,没有设置偏难怪的陷阱,学生只要掌握课内基础语法、结合上下文逻辑推导就能顺利完成,做完后通读全文验证逻辑通顺性可以有效降低失误率。
