Question

【題目】閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當的內容（1個單詞）或括號內單詞的正確形式。
People can often see a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned (copy) sounds that people make. Dolphins, bats, and some other animals also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).
Dr. Joyce Poole is an expert,studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises (make) by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was 8-year-old African elephant and it lived near a highway.
Dr. Poole says that she couldn't tell the (different) between Mlaika's call and the (distance) truck noise. Why did it copy the sounds of the trucks driving by? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy (practice) new sounds. When they (keep) outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds.
So far Dr. Poole (spend) 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make sounds like birds to talk with one another.
Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.

Answer 1

【答案】to copy；to；who；made；a；difference；distant；racticing；are kept；has spent
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，講述的一些動物可以模仿別的聲音，比如鸚鵡，海豚，蝙蝠，猩猩。Dr. Joyce Poole就是一個研究大象聲音的動物學家，發(fā)現大象能像鳥一樣發(fā)出聲音來和其他大象交流。
（1）考查非謂語動詞。句意：那只鸚鵡已經學會了重復人們發(fā)出的聲音。learn to do sth.固定短語“學會做某事”，故填to copy 。
（2）考查介詞。句意：現在我們把大象加到這個盲目的模仿者的名單上。add sth. to sth.固定短語“把……加到……之上”，故填to。
（3）考查定語從句。本題定語從句的先行詞是expert，關系代詞who指代先行詞，在句中作主語，故填who 。
（4）考查非謂語動詞。noise與動詞make之間構成被動關系，所以使用過去分詞短語作定語，修飾名詞noise，相當于定語從句that were made...。故填made 。
（5） 考查冠詞。橫線后8-year-old African elephant中的名詞elephant（大象）是一個可數名詞，使用不定冠詞a/an修飾表示泛指。因為eight是以元音發(fā)音開頭的單詞，所以用an來修飾，故填an。
（6）考查名詞。tell后面的the 后要接名詞，tell the difference between A and B固定短語“區(qū)分A和B”，故填difference 。
（7）考查形容詞。橫線后面是名詞短語truck noise，在英語中要使用形容詞修飾名詞或名詞短語，所以使用distance的形容詞形式distant，故填distant 。
（8）考查非謂語動詞。enjoy doing sth.“喜歡做某事”，enjoy后接動名詞作賓語，故填practicing 。
（9）考查語態(tài)。動物是被圈起來，因此該句用被動語態(tài)，故填are kept 。
（10）考查時態(tài)。時間狀語so far（到目前為止）通常和現在完成時連用，表示到目前為止已經完成的事情，故填has spent。
