【分析】
这是一篇短文型词形转换填空题,解题可以按三步推进:1. 先通读全文,明确文本是志愿者招募的宣传内容,把握整体语境和基础时态基调;2. 逐个定位设空位置,结合空格前后的搭配规则、提示词词性、上下文的时间提示等线索,推导需要转换的正确形式;3. 全部填完后回读短文,检查语法逻辑是否通顺,验证答案合理性,比如介词后接动名词、all后接可数名词复数、while常搭配进行时态这类固定规则,都可以直接对应推导。
【解析】
我们逐个空推导如下:
1. 此处用不定式作目的状语,表达“加入我们来成为志愿者”的含义,表动作目的,因此be转换为to be。
2. all表示“所有的”,后接可数名词age的复数形式ages,指代所有年龄段。
3. 后文“七十多岁的人”是复数群体概念,对应前面12岁的孩子这一类群体,用child的复数形式children。
4. 介词with后需要接动词的动名词形式,构成固定搭配help with doing sth,因此take转换为taking。
5. 此处是固定搭配need sb to do sth,含义为“医院需要志愿者去照看孩子”,因此look转换为to look。
6. while引导时间状语从句,强调主句动作发生时从句动作正在进行,语境表示“当孩子的父母正在看病的时候”,用现在进行时,主语their parents是复数,因此see转换为are seeing。
7. 此处作句子主语,表达“动物爱好者”的含义,要把动词love变为指人的名词lover,指代所有这类群体,用复数形式lovers。
8. 句中时间状语before表示“从前”,说明动作发生在过去,用一般过去时,因此play转换为played。
9. 此处是固定结构“疑问词+不定式”作learn的宾语,因此use转换为to use。
10. 语境暗含和当下的世界作比较的含义,表达“每个人出一点力就会拥有更好的世界”,用good的比较级better。
【答案】
1. to be 2. ages 3. children 4. taking 5. to look 6. are seeing 7. lovers 8. played 9. to use 10. better
【知识点】
非谓语动词,名词单复数,动词时态
