四、语法填空(真题·嘉兴)
阅读下面的短文,在空白处填入一个适当的词,或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。
Echidnas(针鼹) only live in Australia or New Guinea. They live in a 36
peaceful
(peace) area. They are mammals(哺乳动物), 37
but
do you know they lay eggs? That's really amazing!
Echidnas usually live a long life—some can live up 38
to
50 years! Some of them can grow to 77 cm long and weigh over 10 kg. They move quite slowly, so they don't run away when they are afraid. Instead, they make their bodies into 39
a
ball—and they do it fast!
Echidnas sleep well in the day or at night. During the warm months of the year, they eat in the day and sleep at night. But if the weather 40
gets
(get) very hot, they sleep in the day and wake up at night! You won't hear 41
them
(they), though, because they move very quietly. In winter, echidnas carefully dig 42
holes
(hole) under the ground and stay there. Some of them 43
have used
(use) the same place since they were born.
So, what do echidnas eat? They eat small animals and insects. They don't wait patiently for insects to pass by, however. They dig hard in the ground 44
to find
(find) them! Echidnas can catch insects 45
easily
(easy) with their tongues(舌头)—they are 15 cm long!

解析

【分析】做语法填空时,首先通读短文理解全文关于针鼹的介绍大意,再结合每个空格的前后语境,从词性转换、固定搭配、连词逻辑、动词时态、非谓语形式、代词宾格、名词单复数等语法知识点入手,逐个分析确定每个空的正确形式,确保符合语境和语法规则。
【解析】
36. 空格修饰名词area,需用形容词,名词peace的形容词形式为peaceful,故填peaceful。
37. 前句提到针鼹是哺乳动物,后句说它们会下蛋,前后为转折逻辑关系,需用转折连词but,故填but。
38. 固定搭配up to表示“多达”,此处指寿命长达50年,故填to。
39. 固定搭配make...into a ball表示“把……变成一个球”,ball为可数名词单数,前面需加不定冠词a,故填a。
40. 此处是if引导的条件状语从句,主句为一般现在时,从句用一般现在时;主语weather是第三人称单数,动词get需用第三人称单数形式gets,故填gets。
41. 动词hear后需接人称代词宾格作宾语,主格they的宾格是them,故填them。
42. hole是可数名词,此处指挖多个洞,需用复数形式holes,故填holes。
43. 句中出现since引导的时间状语从句(since they were born),主句需用现在完成时,结构为have/has+过去分词;主语some of them是复数,助动词用have,use的过去分词是used,故填have used。
44. 此处表示挖洞的目的是找到昆虫,需用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to find。
45. 空格修饰动词catch,需用副词,形容词easy的副词形式为easily,故填easily。
【答案】36. peaceful 37. but 38. to 39. a 40. gets 41. them 42. holes 43. have used 44. to find 45. easily
