Question

【題目】語法填空

Long ago, in a far-away place, an old tribal chief found himself terminally ill. So he called three most promising young villagers to his bedside and said, “As I 【1】 (leave)you soon, I hope you can do one more thing for me. Young men, you three are all 【2】 (usual)strong and resourceful, so I’d like you to strive to climb that high mountain we have always been worshipping 【3】 a sacred place. Try to reach the top and then turn back to tell me about your findings.

Three days later, the first young man returned smartly dressed and said 【4】 (smile), “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop【5】 I saw flowers of all sorts, spring water and singing birds. That’s a real nice place. ”

The old tribal chief replied with a smile, “Son, I’ve been there before. It’s not the mountaintop 【6】 the foot of the mountain. You can leave now. ”

A week later, the second young man also returned. “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop 【7】 a forest of tall pine trees and vultures circling in the air. That’s a really nice place. ”

“What a pity! ”said the chief. “Son, you’ve been halfway up the mountain rather than to the summit. Now you can leave. ”

A month later, the third young man showed up in rags, his hair off-colored but his eyes clear and bright.

“Lord, I succeeded in reaching the summit. There was nothing there but the highland wind and the blue sky 【8】 (hang)over the land. ”

“So you saw nothing at all? Not even【9】 butterfly? ”

“No, Lord, nothing. All you can see is yourself. You just feel how insignificant you are in this infinite universe【10】 standing at the top! ”

“Son, you’ve reached the real mountaintop. Congratulations! You will be undoubtedly made our new tribal chief! ”

試題分析：文章介紹一個酋長快死了。他讓三個年輕人爬到他們當成圣地崇拜的高山上，第一個人只到達山腳，第二個人只到了山坡，第三個人到達了山頂，感受到自己的渺小。但這真是酋長想看見的。這個年輕人正是他要找的下個酋長。

【1】am leaving / will leave考查時態(tài)。由soon可知, “I”即將離開, 應用一般將來時, 或用現(xiàn)在進行時表將來。

【2】unusually考查副詞。修飾形容詞(strong)應用副詞。

【3】as考查介詞。把那座高山視為圣地。as意為“作為”。

【4】smilingly考查副詞。修飾動詞(said), 應用副詞。

【5】where考查關系副詞。where引導定語從句, 修飾mountaintop。從句中缺少地點狀語, 應用where引導。

【6】but考查并列連詞。句意: 那不是山頂, 而是山腳。not . . . but. . . 不是……而是……。

【7】with 考查介詞。with=having。

【8】hanging 考查非謂語動詞。hang和sky之間是主動關系, 應用現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。

【9】a 考查冠詞。butterfly是可數(shù)名詞, 此處是泛指蝴蝶, 應用不定冠詞修飾。

【10】while 考查連詞。句意: 當你站在山頂?shù)臅r候, 你只能感覺到在無窮的宇宙中, 你是多么渺小! while當……時候, 引導時間狀語從句。
