三、根据句意，用方框中所给单词和词组的正确形式填空

1. I think we can this problem soon.
2. Green is the colour of nature and life.
3. Parents should their kids fire.
4. We are good weather on Saturday.
5. He always a book in his bag wherever he goes.

1. get over
2. a symbol of
3. keep; from
4. hoping for
5. carries

【分析】
首先明确方框内各短语的含义及用法：keep...from意为“阻止……（做某事）”，carry hope for意为“期待，希望”，a symbol of意为“……的象征”，get over意为“克服，解决”。接着结合每个句子的语境、时态、固定搭配及主语人称，选择合适的短语并变形：1. 句中“解决问题”对应get over，情态动词can后接动词原形；2. 句中“生命的象征”对应a symbol of；3. 固定搭配keep sb. from sth.（阻止某人靠近某物），情态动词should后接动词原形；4. 句中“期待好天气”对应carry hope for，现在进行时需用动词-ing形式；5. 句中“携带书”对应carry，主语he是第三人称单数，一般现在时用动词第三人称单数形式。
【解析】
1. 句意：我认为我们很快能解决这个问题。get over表示“克服，解决”，情态动词can后接动词原形，故填get over。
2. 句意：绿色是自然的颜色，也是生命的象征。a symbol of表示“……的象征”，符合语境，故填a symbol of。
3. 句意：父母应该阻止他们的孩子靠近火。固定搭配keep sb. from sth.意为“阻止某人靠近某物”，情态动词should后接动词原形，故填keep; from。
4. 句意：我们正期待着周六有好天气。carry hope for表示“期待，希望”，此处为现在进行时（结构：am/is/are + 动词-ing），故填hoping for。
5. 句意：无论去哪，他总是在包里带一本书。carry表示“携带”，主语he是第三人称单数，一般现在时中动词用第三人称单数形式，故填carries。
【答案】
1. get over
2. a symbol of
3. keep; from
4. hoping for
5. carries

It is spring, but it is cold in Canada. Many people come to celebrate a sweet festival. It is the Maple Syrup Festival. There are many maple trees (枫树) in Canada. People call it “the country of the maple leaves”. Some maple trees have sweet sap (汁, 液) inside. People put some bottles in the trees. They use them to hold the sweet sap from March to April.
On a cold morning during the Maple Syrup Festival, my parents took me to a farm. The farm was big and clean.
An old man got some sap from the maple tree first, and then he boiled (煮沸) it. After a long time, the sap became a little yellow. The old man poured (倒) it on the snow, and it turned into snow candy.
It was time to eat! The candy was very nice. I felt excited to eat it. It was cold but sweet. Many people ate the candy. We had a good time.
