首字母填空
本文主要介绍了电影《疯狂动物城2》中的新角色盖瑞,赞扬了他的善良,同时教导我们不应该以貌取人。
1. goes 根据空后的Gary可知,此处说的是新角色的名字,动词短语go by是"被称为"的意思。本句主语He是第三人称单数,故此处答案应该填动词第三人称单数形式goes。
2. fact 根据上下文理解可知,盖瑞并不是一条普通的蛇,事实上他是一条蓝色蝮蛇,此处用介词短语in fact,其意思为"事实上,确切地说"。
3. from 盖瑞与其他蛇看起来明显不同。固定短语look different from意为"看上去与……不同"。
4. any 他没有腿和手臂。根据句中doesn't可知,此句是否定句,故此处答案应该填any。
5. other 它能帮助他嗅出食物和周围其他东西。
