语篇导读 本文讲述了唐代医学家孙思邈在山中采药时,救助了一只老虎,随后老虎为报答恩情,向孙思邈献上珍贵草药的故事。
31. king 句意为:它被称为“森林之王”。“the king of...”意为“……之王”,符合语境,故填 king。
32. saved 句意为:但孙思邈曾经救过一只老虎,这只老虎非常感激他。根据 the tiger was very thankful to him 及后文可知此处应是“拯救”老虎,且表示过去发生的事情,故填 saved。
33. as 句意为:孙思邈是唐代的一名医学家,被誉为“药王”。be known as 为固定短语,意为“被称为;被誉为”,故填 as。
34. hill 根据后文“He... half a day going down the high hill.”可知此处指他去山上找草药,空前有 a,故填 hill。
35. slowly 句意为:他慢慢地走向老虎。根据语境及首字母可知,此处指孙思邈缓慢地靠近老虎,此处应用副词修饰动词,故填 slowly。
36. took 句意为:他把骨头取出来,并在它的喉咙里放了一些草药。根据前文 a bone was stuck there 及 put some herbs in its throat 可知,此处应是“取出”骨头,且此处应用一般过去时,故填 took。
37. ran 句意为:他取下圆环后,老虎跑开了。根据后文“He smiled and went on walking.”及首字母可知,老虎在被救治后,应是“跑开”了,此处应用一般过去时,故填 ran。
38. spent 句意为:他花了半天时间走下那座高山。结合 half a day going down the high hill 可知,此处为“spend + 时间 + (in) doing sth”结构,此处应用一般过去时,故填 spent。
39. head 句意为:它把什么东西放在他面前,多次低下头,然后走开了。lower one's head 意为“低下头”,符合语境,故填 head。
40. picked 根据 It put something in front of him 及“It was a good herb!”可知,孙思邈应是“捡起”那个东西并发现是草药,此处应用一般过去时,故填 picked。

【分析】先通读短文，把握短文讲述孙思邈救助老虎、老虎报恩的核心内容；再针对每个空格，结合上下文语境、首字母提示，同时考虑语法规则（如动词时态、副词修饰动词、固定短语搭配等），确定符合要求的单词，并注意单词的正确形式变化。
【解析】31. 由语境“森林之王”及首字母k，固定搭配“the king of...”表示“……之王”，故填king；32. 根据后文老虎对孙思邈的感激，可知此处是“拯救”老虎，动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，故填saved；33. 固定短语“be known as”意为“被誉为”，结合首字母a，故填as；34. 后文提到“high hill”，结合首字母h，可知孙思邈去山上找草药，故填hill；35. 此处修饰动词moved，需用副词，结合语境“缓慢靠近老虎”及首字母s，故填slowly；36. 结合前文“骨头卡在喉咙”，此处是“取出”骨头，take out的过去式为took，故填took；37. 老虎被救治后“跑开”，run away的过去式为ran，故填ran；38. 固定结构“spend + 时间 + (in) doing sth”表示“花费时间做某事”，动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，结合首字母s，故填spent；39. 固定短语“lower one's head”意为“低下头”，结合首字母h，故填head；40. 结合后文发现是珍贵草药，可知此处是“捡起”，pick up的过去式为picked，故填picked。
