【分析】
做这类语法填空类的短文填空题,首先第一步要通读全文,理清文章主旨和整体时态:本文是记叙文,介绍作者的孩子参加森林学校的学习体验,主体描述日常习惯用一般现在时,回忆最初的顾虑用一般过去时。接下来逐个分析每个空的考点:
1. 先看空格所在句的主语,判断主谓一致和时态;
2. 遇到前后语义相反的情况考虑转折连词,注意句首大写;
3. 看到than提示要使用形容词比较级;
4. 回忆常见的表频率的固定搭配;
5. 看到时间状语at first提示动作发生在过去,用动词过去式;
6. 当动作的宾语和主语指代同一组人时,考虑使用反身代词;
7. 系动词后要接形容词作表语,将名词转换为对应的形容词形式;
8. 回忆动词的固定搭配结构;
9. 感官类系动词look后接形容词作表语,将名词转换为形容词;
10. 回忆和动词短语搭配的介词,得出固定短语。
【解析】
1. 句中主语是They,each是主语的同位语,不影响谓语的数,全文描述日常周一的常规情况用一般现在时,因此谓语动词用原形carry。
2. 前句说包里装了衣物、鞋、大量食物和水,后句说包里没有书,前后是转折关系,句首首字母大写,因此填But。
3. 空格后有than表示比较,little的比较级是less,less than是固定表达“少于”,因此填less。
4. once a week是固定频率表达,意为“一周一次”,因此填不定冠词a。
5. 时间状语at first表示“起初”,描述过去发生的动作,因此worry要变为一般过去式worried。
6. 句意为“他们能照顾好自己吗”,动作look after的宾语和主语they指代一致,要用反身代词themselves。
7. 空格前的系动词is后接形容词作表语,danger的形容词形式是dangerous,意为“危险的”,因此填dangerous。
8. 固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth. 意为“鼓励某人做某事”,因此填不定式结构to keep。
9. 感官系动词look后接形容词作表语,cheer的形容词形式是cheerful,意为“开心的”,因此填cheerful。
10. 固定搭配get along well with nature意为“和自然和谐相处”,因此填介词with。
【答案】
1. carry 2. But 3. less 4. a 5. worried
6. themselves 7. dangerous 8. to keep 9. cheerful
10. with
