解析:
【分析】这是一道英语动词适当形式填空题,需结合故事语境判断动词时态。全文讲述过去发生的事,多数动词用一般过去时;第8空是客观真理,需用一般现在时。解题时先通读短文明确时态基调,再逐个分析每个空的动词形式:1-7、9-10空对应过去的动作,用动词过去式;第8空对应客观事实,用一般现在时,注意主谓一致。
【解析】1. 由前文made(过去式)可知,此处用call的过去式called;2. and连接并列谓语,前面came是过去式,故give用过去式gave;3. 故事为过去时态,want用过去式wanted;4. sell的过去式是sold;5. 一般过去时的否定形式,用didn't like或did not like;6. go的过去式是went;7. and连接appeared(过去式),say用过去式said;8. “说谎会让鼻子变长”是客观真理,用一般现在时,动名词短语作主语,谓语用第三人称单数makes;9. cry的过去式是cried;10. turn的过去式是turned。
【答案】1. called 2. gave 3. wanted 4. sold 5. didn't like / did not like 6. went 7. said 8. makes 9. cried 10. turned
【知识点】一般过去时、一般现在时、动词适当形式填空
