词汇卡片 难句分析

1. C 由空格后的 he was little 并结合选项可知，此处指小时候，小象罗伊一直和妈妈、两个姐姐以及其他一些母象生活在一起。when 意为“当……的时候”，符合语境。
2. A 由空格后的 to grow shortly after they are born 可知，此处指象牙在大象出生后不久就开始生长。start 意为“开始”，start to do sth 意为“开始做某事”，符合语境。
3. B 由下文 hard to see 可知，一开始象牙很小，很难被看到。small 符合语境。
4. D 上文 They keep growing all their life. 和下文 daily use keeps them at the right size 之间是转折关系，用 But 连接。
5. B 由第一段第二句 He lived with his mother, two sisters and some other female elephants... he was little. 和第二段的 As elephants’ tusks gradually grow longer, they begin to mature. 以及第三段第一句 Now, Roi-Yim’s tusks are getting longer. 可推断，罗伊的象牙逐渐长长，它也逐渐趋向成熟，所以将要一点点离开妈妈和姐姐们了。leaving 是 leave 的现在分词，意为“离开”，符合语境。
6. A 由下文 He learns the living skills... from his dad. 可知，罗伊会跟父亲学习生存本领，故此处指它开始更多地和父亲待在一起。stay 意为“停留；待”，符合语境。
7. C every young bull elephant... 对上文 the living skills 起到修饰作用，表示“每一头幼年公象都……的生存本领”，结合选项可知，答案为 C，need 意为“需要”。
8. D 由于罗伊小时候一直和妈妈以及姐姐们生活在一起，所以妈妈和姐姐们在附近陪着它，能让它感觉到安全，填 safe。
