【分析】
这是一篇故事类语法填空题,解题时首先通读全文,明确文章是讲述过去发生的童话故事,整体时态为一般过去时,再逐个结合语法规则、固定搭配、上下文逻辑推导每个空的答案:首先遇到there be句型先找主语判断单复数再匹配时态;遇到some修饰名词要判断可数性,可数名词需变复数;系动词后要接形容词作表语,副词要转换为形容词;特指前文提到的事物要使用定冠词the;接动名词表方式常用介词by;看到stop要区分stop doing和stop to do的固定搭配含义;分析分句逻辑关系选择对应连词;谓语动词要匹配全文时态变过去式;及物动词后接人称代词要用宾格作宾语;不定式符号to后要接动词原形。
【解析】
1. 此处为there be句型,全文时态为一般过去时,后面的主语a tree是单数,因此be动词用was。
2. 空格前有some修饰,vegetable此处表示具体的蔬菜,属于可数名词,因此变为复数形式vegetables。
3. 空格前有系动词was,后面需要接形容词作表语,副词happily要变为形容词happy,构成固定搭配be happy with,意为“对……满意”。
4. 此处特指前文已经提到过的那棵树的阴影,是特指含义,因此填定冠词the。
5. 此处表达“通过不给蔬菜提供阴影的方式回击”,介词by后接动名词可表示行为方式,因此填by。
6. 此处是固定搭配stop doing sth,意为“停止正在做的事”,句意为园丁很伤心,停止给它们浇水,因此填give的动名词形式giving。
7. 前半句意为“它们没有办法活得更久”,后半句意为“其中最小的一棵蔬菜想要解决这个问题”,前后是转折逻辑关系,因此填转折连词but。
8. 全文时态为一般过去时,谓语动词grow要变为对应的过去式grew。
9. 空格前是及物动词provided,后面要接人称代词的宾格作宾语,主格they要变为宾格them。
10. 空格前的to是不定式符号,后面需要接动词原形,因此填make。
【答案】
1. was 2. vegetables 3. happy 4. the 5. by 6. giving 7. but 8. grew 9. them 10. make
