【分析】
这是一篇基础短文语法填空题,解题时首先要通读全文,明确文章整体介绍宠物猫的语境,确定全文以一般现在时为基础时态。接下来逐个分析空格的句子成分:先判断空格处需要的词性,再结合被动关系、修饰规则、固定搭配等要求,对给出的单词进行正确变形,没有提示词的空结合常用短语搭配补全合适的介词/冠词,一步步推导就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 空格处修饰名词pet cat,name和cat是被动含义,表示“被叫做咪咪的猫”,用过去分词作后置定语,填named。
2. 空格后是名词fur(皮毛),需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词,it对应的形容词性物主代词句首大写,填Its。
3. 空格前是be动词is,需要形容词作表语,friend的形容词形式表示“友好的”,填friendly。
4. 这里是固定搭配make sb. do sth.(让某人做某事),后面接动词原形,填laugh。
5. 此处是固定表达“放学回家”,对应短语come home from school,填介词from。
6. 句子主语是it,时态为一般现在时,和前面并列的谓语runs保持形式一致,用第三人称单数形式,填welcomes。
7. 此处表示泛指院子里的蝴蝶这类事物,要用名词复数,butterfly的复数形式是butterflies。
8. 空格处修饰动词短语go down,需要用副词形式,safe的副词表示“安全地”,填safely。
9. 此处是固定搭配have a good rest(好好休息),填不定冠词a。
10. 此处是固定搭配by/at one's side,表示“在某人身边”,填by/at都符合语境。
