【分析】
做这类词汇变形填空题,首先要先通读整篇短文,把握全文的整体时态(本文以一般现在时为主),之后逐个分析每个空格所在句子的成分:先判断空格处需要的词性、单复数形式,再结合前后的修饰词、并列关系、固定搭配,把括号内给出的单词转换成符合语法和语义的正确形式,最后代入全文通读检查逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
1. 空格前有all kinds of different(各种各样不同的)修饰,后接可数名词复数,place的复数形式为places。
2. 空格和前面的形容词busy并列,共同作be动词的表语,需要把名词noise转换为形容词noisy,意为“吵闹的”。
3. 此处表示“老鼠”这一类食物,要用mouse的不规则复数形式mice,和后文人类掉落的食物并列作为狐狸的食物来源。
4. 全文为一般现在时,主语是they,谓语动词用原形,直接填seem即可。
5. 空格后是名词corners,需要用形容词修饰名词,把副词safely转换为形容词safe,意为“安全的”。
6. 时态为一般现在时,主语it是第三人称单数,谓语动词要变为第三人称单数形式becomes。
7. 空格后是形容词better,需要用副词修饰形容词,把形容词usual转换为副词usually,意为“通常”。
8. 符合固定搭配enjoy doing sth.(喜欢做某事),所以watch要变为动名词形式watching。
9. 动词enjoy后要接人称代词宾格作宾语,主格they转换为宾格them。
10. 此处修饰表示事物的名词reminder,要用-ing结尾的形容词exciting,意为“令人兴奋的”,用来描述事物的属性。
【答案】
1. places 2. noisy 3. mice 4. seem 5. safe 6. becomes 7. usually 8. watching 9. them 10. exciting
【知识点】
词性转换,名词单复数,固定搭配
【点评】
本题是初中阶段典型的短文词汇运用题型,考点覆盖了名词不规则复数变化、形副转换、一般现在时主谓一致、非谓语动词、人称代词宾格、ing/ed形容词辨析等核心基础考点,难度梯度平缓,做完后代入全文通读可以有效排查语义不通的错误。
