Question

4．Once a man was walking along a beach．The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day．In the distance he could see a person （61）going（go） back and forth between the surf's edge（62）andthe beach．As the man approached，he could see there were hundreds of starfish stranded on the sand as the result of the natural（63）action（act） of the tide．
The man（64）was stuck（stick） by the apparent uselessness of the task．There were far too many starfish．Many of them were sure to die．As he approached，the person continued the task of（65）picking（pick） up the starfish one by one and throwing them into the ocean．
As he came up to the person，he said，"You must be crazy．There are（66）thousands（thousand）of miles of beach（67）covered（cover） with starfish．You can't（68）possibly（possible） make a difference．"The person looked at the man．He then bent down and picked up one（69）more（many） starfish and threw it back into the ocean．He turned back to the man and said，"It surely makes a difference （70）tothat one!"

Answer 1

分析 本文作者在海边看到很多的贝壳被冲到了岸边，看到一个人在捡贝壳扔回大海，挽救它们的生命．

解答 61．going考查动名词．句意：在远距离我们可以看到一个人在岸边来回的走着．see sb doing"看见某人正干某事"．
62．and考查固定短语．between…and是固定搭配"在…和…之间"．所以答案填and．
63．action考查名词．根据句意：潮起潮落影响的作用．action是名词"作用，功效"．
64．was stuck考查被动语态．根据句意：这个人显然被任务给吸引住了．be stuck by是"被…吸引"．
65．picking考查动名词．根据句意：当他走进的时候，这个人还在不停的捡贝壳并抛向海里．of 是介词，介词后边跟动名词做宾语，所以答案是picking．
66．thousands考查固定搭配．thousands of表示"成千上万的"．
67．covered考查非谓语．根据句意：海滩被贝壳覆盖着．beach与cover之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语修饰beach．
68．possibly考查副词．根据句意：你不可能把它们区分开来．此处用副词修饰动词make，所以答案填possibly．
69．more考查形容词．根据句意：他弯腰去捡一个有一个的贝壳扔进大海里．one more在一个，又一个．
70．to考查介词．根据句意：一个和另一个之间当然是有区别的．to 为介词"对于，对…来说"．
