【分析】
本题为英语词汇语境填空题,需先明确方框内单词和词组的含义:chance(机会)、fall(落下)、leaf(叶子)、masterpiece(杰作)、paint(绘画)、strong(强壮的)、burn with a fever(发烧)、make sense(讲得通)。解题时需结合每空的上下文语境、语法规则(如名词单复数、动词时态、固定搭配)选择合适的词并变形:
1. 空格前有不定冠词a,需填名词,结合语境“康复的小机会”选chance;
2. be动词后需形容词,结合语境“你需要强壮”选strong;
3. 数词five后接可数名词复数,leaf的复数为leaves;
4. 主语the last one为单数,描述当时情况用一般现在时,动词用第三人称单数falls;
5. 固定短语make sense,前面有助动词doesn't,用原形;
6. 主语she为第三人称单数,结合语境“她发烧了”,时态用一般现在时或现在进行时;
7. 讲述过去发生的事,用动词过去式,paint的过去式为painted;
8. 形容词性物主代词his后接名词,结合语境“他的杰作”选masterpiece。
【解析】
1. 空格前有不定冠词a,需填入名词,结合语境“康复的小机会”,选择名词chance;
2. 空格前有be动词,需填入形容词,结合语境“你需要强壮”,选择形容词strong;
3. 数词five后需接可数名词复数,leaf的复数形式为leaves,故填leaves;
4. 主语the last one为第三人称单数,描述对话当时的情况用一般现在时,动词需用第三人称单数形式,故填falls;
5. 固定短语make sense意为“讲得通”,空格前有助动词doesn't,故填动词原形make sense;
6. 主语she为第三人称单数,结合语境“她发烧了”,时态可使用一般现在时或现在进行时,故填is burning/burns with a fever;
7. 此处讲述过去发生的事件,动词需用过去式,paint的过去式为painted,故填painted;
8. 形容词性物主代词his后需接名词,结合语境“他的杰作”,选择名词masterpiece。
