【分析】
这是一篇结合名著节选的词形变换类题目,解题时首先要通读全文,梳理文章整体叙事时态,再结合每个空前后的提示信息逐一判断变形规则:1. 看到特殊时间标志词优先匹配对应时态;2. 遇到常见动词短语要回忆固定搭配的形式;3. 看到than、介词、名词等提示时,对应变形为比较级、代词宾格、名词所有格等正确形式,最终逐个推导得出答案。
【解析】
1. 句中出现时间状语Recently,是现在完成时的标志,现在完成时结构为"have/has + 动词过去分词",主语为I,因此填have read。
2. 此处考查固定搭配manage to do sth,意为"设法成功完成某事",因此填动词不定式to get。
3. 全文是对《格列佛游记》故事片段的叙事,整体时态为一般过去时,drive的过去式为不规则变化drove。
4. 空后出现比较级标志词than,需要使用形容词比较级,many的比较级为more,more than意为"超过、多于"。
5. 介词to后需要接人称代词的宾格形式作宾语,主格they对应的宾格为them。
6. 此处要表达"农民的女儿",需要用名词所有格修饰后面的名词daughter,单数名词farmer的所有格直接加's,即farmer's。
7. 此处考查固定搭配be surprised to do sth,意为"做某事感到很惊讶",用-ed结尾的形容词surprised描述人的主观感受。
8. 此处考查固定搭配enjoy doing sth,意为"喜欢做某事",动词listen要变为动名词形式listening。
9. 空后并列的forks为名词复数,此处knife要变为对应的复数形式knives,保持名词数的一致性。
10. 此处为不定式的复合结构for sb to do sth,不定式作后置定语修饰a small house,因此填to live。
【答案】
1. have read 2. to get 3. drove 4. more 5. them 6. farmer's 7. surprised 8. listening 9. knives 10. to live
