Ⅱ. Fill in the appropriate linking verb according to the context to complete the sentences(根据语境,填入合适的系动词,完成句子)
1. On the messy desk of a Grade 9 student, there two erasers covered in pencil shavings and a broken wooden pencil that he has used for nearly a whole semester.
2. This homemade chocolate cake, baked by his elder sister as a reward for his mid-term exam progress, so nice that it makes all the students in the classroom turn their heads and ask for a bite. Would you like to try it, Mandy?
3 Mr Wang, our head teacher who is over fifty years old and has taught nearly three generations of students, surprisingly young. He has a quick mind and a warm smile that makes us feel relaxed.
4 —What about going out for a picnic in the city park this weekend to relax after weeks of busy review for the high school entrance exam?
—That exactly like a good idea that can help us refresh our minds and recharge our energy.

1.are 2.smells 3.looks 4.sounds
点拨:2题,主语是“This homemade chocolate cake”(单数),句子描述蛋糕的气味特征,属于感官类系动词用法。后文“so nice that it makes all the students...ask for a bite”暗示是“闻起来很香”,所以用smells(smell的第三人称单数形式)。易错点:容易误填tastes,但后文还在邀请试吃,说明是“闻到香味”而非“尝到味道”。
4题,主语That指代上文的野餐提议,句子描述提议给人的听觉/感觉印象。固定搭配sound like表示“听起来像”,符合回应建议的语境,主语为单数,所以用sounds。易错点:容易误填is或looks,但sound like是回应想法/提议的地道表达,look like侧重视觉,不符合语境。

【分析】
本题考查系动词的用法，需结合语境、主谓一致规则及固定搭配完成填空：
1. 第1题是there be句型，be动词单复数由其后主语决定，主语为复数名词，需匹配对应形式；
2. 第2题主语为单数名词，结合后文语境需选合适的感官类系动词，同时满足主谓一致；
3. 第3题主语为单数的人，需选描述外貌状态的系动词，符合主谓一致；
4. 第4题主语指代上文提议，需用对应固定搭配，结合主谓一致选形式。
【解析】
1. 第1题：there be句型遵循“就近一致”原则，be动词由靠近它的复数主语two erasers决定，故填are；
2. 第2题：主语为单数的this homemade chocolate cake，结合后文“让同学转头要尝”的语境，此处描述蛋糕气味，感官系动词smell表“闻起来”，主语为单数，故用第三人称单数形式smells；
3. 第3题：主语为单数的Mr Wang，描述人的外貌状态，系动词look表“看起来”，主语为单数，故用第三人称单数形式looks；
4. 第4题：主语that指代上文的野餐提议，固定搭配sound like表“听起来像”，用于回应想法/提议，主语为单数，故用第三人称单数形式sounds。
【答案】
1. are 2. smells 3. looks 4. sounds
【知识点】
there be句型主谓一致；感官系动词；固定搭配sound like
