【分析】
这是语篇型的词汇变形填空题,解题时首先要通读全文,理清短文讲述的动物爱好者张磊救助小象、呼吁保护动物的整体语境,之后逐空结合前后文的提示信息、句子成分、固定搭配来判断提示词需要转换的正确形式:首先观察空前后的词性,判断空格需要的词性,再结合时态、比较级标志、固定搭配等规则完成变形,比如看到空后有名词就优先考虑是否要变形容词性物主代词,看到than就考虑用比较级,看到Look!就考虑现在进行时,一步步推导就能得到正确答案。
【解析】
1. 空后是名词mother,需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词,指代小象的妈妈,主格it要变为形容词性物主代词its。
2. 符合固定搭配use sth. to do sth.(用某物做某事),因此动词help要变为不定式形式to help。
3. 空后有比较级标志词than,且much可以修饰形容词比较级,形容词good的比较级是better。
4. 前文出现提示词Look!,说明动作此刻正在发生,要用现在进行时,主语是He,对应的结构为is playing。
5. 空格修饰动词短语grows up(成长),副词才能修饰动词,名词health要变为副词形式healthily。
6. 符合固定搭配enjoy doing sth.(喜欢做某事),动词spend要变为动名词形式spending。
7. 空后是名词homes,需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词,指代动物们的家园,主格they要变为形容词性物主代词their。
8. 空格修饰动词join,副词才能修饰动词,形容词quick要变为副词形式quickly。
9. 空格前有many,many后接可数名词复数,可数名词volunteer的复数形式是volunteers。
10. 是常用固定结构a long way to go(还有很长的路要走),不定式作后置定语修饰名词way,因此填to go。
【答案】
1. its 2. to help 3. better 4. is playing 5. healthily 6. spending 7. their 8. quickly 9. volunteers 10. to go
