【分析】
做这类方框选词题,首先第一步要先梳理所有备选词的词义、词性以及可变换的形式:给出的5个词分别是动词appear(显得、出现)、名词pleasure(愉悦)、名词pride(骄傲)、名词gift(天赋、礼物)、形容词proud(自豪的)。接下来通读全文,把握文章核心是作者讲述自己学习铅笔画的成长感悟,之后逐空结合语法特征、固定搭配、上下文语义推导答案:首先看到第一空后有than提示要用比较级,结合语义要表达“更愉悦”,需要把名词pleasure变形为形容词的比较级;第二空句子缺谓语,描述过去初学的状态,用动词的过去式;第三空a sense of后接名词,对应“自豪感”的固定搭配;第四空对应be proud of的常用短语;第五空介词about后接名词,结合后文“反复练习”的语义,对应否定“天赋”的含义,就能逐一确定答案。
【解析】
1. 第一空:句中出现比较级标志词than,需要填入形容词的比较级作表语。语境表达“对我而言,没有什么比将空白纸张转化为充满光影的世界更令人愉悦”,将名词pleasure变为形容词pleasant,其比较级形式为more pleasant,符合要求。
2. 第二空:句子缺少谓语动词,描述作者刚学画画时的过往状态,时态为一般过去时,appear意为“看起来、显得”,过去式为appeared,后接形容词clumsy and childish作表语,语义语法均通顺。
3. 第三空:固定结构a sense of后接名词,表达“……的感觉”,语境指作者画出祖父肖像后生出的自豪感,a sense of pride是固定表达“自豪感”,填入名词pride。
4. 第四空:固定搭配be proud of意为“为……感到骄傲自豪”,符合语境“父母为我的坚持深感自豪”的语义,填入形容词proud。
5. 第五空:介词about后接名词,后文说明艺术的本质是反复投入练习,并非依赖天赋,因此填入名词gift,符合语义逻辑。
