四、选词填空
gentle amazing living useful trouble wonderful
My pet, a small golden retriever, is a 1 member of our family. He greets us 2 with his tail wagging every time we come home. His playful nature often gets him into 3, like when he chases the neighbour's cat, but his innocence always makes us laugh.
What's 4 is how he seems to understand our emotions. When I'm upset, he'll sit by my side, as if to say, "I'm here for you." He's also quite 5, helping me carry groceries or fetch the morning paper. His presence makes our 6 space warm and lively.
Having a pet isn't just about having a companion; it's about sharing love and creating memories. He's not just a dog; he's part of our family.

4. 5. 6.

【语篇导读】本文作者介绍了自己的宠物狗。
1. wonderful 2. gently 3. trouble
4. amazing 5. useful 6. living

【分析】
我们可以结合语境、固定搭配和词性要求逐一分析解题：
1. 第一空修饰“member of our family”，需要形容词，结合“宠物是家庭重要一员”的语境，wonderful（极好的）最贴合；
2. 第二空修饰动词“greets”，需要副词，gentle的副词形式gently（温柔地）能准确描述宠物摇尾巴打招呼的状态；
3. 第三空考查固定搭配“get into trouble”，意为“惹麻烦”，后文追邻居猫的例子也印证了这一点；
4. 第四空描述宠物能理解情绪这件事的感受，amazing（令人惊奇的）符合语境；
5. 第五空根据后文“帮忙拎杂货、拿报纸”的内容，说明宠物很实用，useful（有用的）合适；
6. 第六空考查固定搭配“living space”，意为“生活空间”，符合文意。
【解析】
1. 第一空：此处需要形容词修饰家庭成员，wonderful表示“极好的”，体现宠物在家庭里的美好地位，填wonderful；
2. 第二空：动词“greets”需要副词修饰，gentle转换为副词gently，意为“温柔地”，符合宠物打招呼的状态，填gently；
3. 第三空：固定短语“get into trouble”是固定搭配，意为“陷入麻烦”，对应后文追猫的行为，填trouble；
4. 第四空：What's后接形容词，amazing表示“令人惊奇的”，用来形容宠物能理解情绪这件事，填amazing；
5. 第五空：根据后文宠物帮忙做事的内容，useful表示“有用的”，符合语境，填useful；
6. 第六空：固定搭配“living space”表示“生活空间”，是常用表达，填living。

1. wonderful 2. gently 3. trouble
4. amazing 5. useful 6. living

1. made loud noises
2. from nature
3. allows people to travel
4. cheer us up
5. work as a team
6. respect and care for

【分析】
1. 第一题：先明确句子缺少“发出巨大噪声”的表达，对应英语短语make loud noises。观察到句中scared是过去式，说明句子为一般过去时，所以make要变为过去式made，由此得出答案。
2. 第二题：句子需要表达“从大自然中”，“从……中”用介词from，“大自然”是nature，直接组合成from nature即可。
3. 第三题：要表达“使人们旅行”，常用结构allow sb to do sth，主语The high-speed train是第三人称单数，一般现在时中谓语动词用第三人称单数形式allows，“旅行”是travel，因此组合成allows people to travel。
4. 第四题：“让我们振作起来”对应的固定短语是cheer sb up，这里“我们”用us，always表明句子是一般现在时，主语是复数，所以用cheer us up。
5. 第五题：“作为一个团队工作”的固定表达是work as a team，need to后面接动词原形，直接填入即可。
6. 第六题：“尊重并关爱”对应的英语表达是respect and care for，should是情态动词，后面接动词原形，所以直接填写该短语。
【解析】
1. 根据句意，“发出巨大噪声”用短语make loud noises，由句中scared（过去式）可知句子为一般过去时，make的过去式是made，故填made loud noises。
2. “从大自然中”对应的英文是from nature，符合“get...from...”的固定搭配，故填from nature。
3. “使人们能够做某事”用allow sb to do sth结构，主语The high-speed train是第三人称单数，一般现在时中谓语动词用allows，“旅行”为travel，故填allows people to travel。
4. “让某人振作起来”是固定短语cheer sb up，此处“我们”用us，always提示一般现在时，主语为复数，谓语动词用原形，故填cheer us up。
5. “作为一个团队工作”的固定表达是work as a team，need to后接动词原形，故填work as a team。
6. “尊重”是respect，“关爱”是care for，should是情态动词，后接动词原形，故填respect and care for。
【答案】
1. made loud noises
2. from nature
3. allows people to travel
4. cheer us up
5. work as a team
6. respect and care for
