【解析】
试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是在一家养老院里,一个病得很重的老太太,平时不和任何人说话,但是当她看见了小狗的时候,她竟然开始笑了,也想说话了。有时候动物对一些病人有辅助治疗的作用。
1.Maria和她的狗沿着养老院的大厅散步,他们在一个老太太前面停了下来。Maria说:她愿意看看我的狗吗?see看见,是一个动词。这句话中使用的短语是would like to do sth.,愿意去做某事。因此这里用动词的原形。
2.护士说:看望她并不能帮助她。help是一个动词,意思是帮助。根据下文的意思可知,这个老太太病得很重,所以仅仅是看望她对她的病并没有帮助。空前有won’t,故这里用动词的原形。
3.然后她解释说:她病得很重,不喜欢别人看望她。explain 是一个动词,意思是解释。根据上文的意思可知,当Maria想让她的狗去看看那个老太太的时候,护士说a visit won’t help her,接下来护士解释了为什么她这样说。这篇短文使用的是过去时态,因此填explained。
4.Maria对动物辅助疗法研究了10年,在这个领域里她非常的成功。area是一个名词,常见的意思是地区,这里的意思是领域。根据上文的意思可知,这个领域指的是动物辅助治疗。
5.Maria带着狗来到这个老太太旁边,很快她就朝着狗伸出了手。reach 是一个动词,意思是伸手够…,它还有到达的意思。根据文意可知,当Maria的狗来到那个老太太身旁的时候,她竟然伸出手来够它。根据短文的主要时态可知,这里用过去式。
6.她非常高兴,开始笑,还想要说话。pleased是一个形容词,高兴的,愉快的。根据这句话的意思可知,老太太看见了狗之后,有了反应,她笑了,还想说话。由此我们可知,她见到狗后非常的高兴。
7.护士站在旁边,惊讶地看着他们。watch看,观看。根据文意可知,当护士看到这一幕的时候,感到非常的惊讶。这里用watch的现在分词形式在句中做伴随状语。
8.这个女人从来不跟任何人交流,就好像她根本没活着,直到狗来了。alive 是一个形容词,活着的。根据文意可知,以前这个老太太从来不跟任何人交流,而且她病得很重,因此这里是说她就好像死人一样。
9.在全世界生病的大人好孩子填满了医院的病房。children是child的复数形式,意思是孩子。根据句意可知,这里children和前面的adults是并列的关系,adult说的是成年人,故这里应该是说孩子。
10.他们可能生病了,或者需要关心。care for 关心,照顾。根据上文的意思可知,医院里有很多病人,他们需要人们的关心。根据句意可知,这里需要用被动语态的形式,故填过去分词cared。
