Answer 1

答案：
解析：

　　1．food

　　2．trunk

　　3．instead

　　4．treated

　　5．When

　　6．broke

　　7．straight

　　8．covered

　　9．as/though

　　10．punished

提示：

　　1．由信息句It used to come into the dining room after dinner可知小象到厨房去要“食物”。

　　2．trunk意为“象鼻子”。

　　特别提示：

　　trunk“树干；象鼻”；branch“树枝”；leave“树叶”；root“树根”。

　　3．考查介词短语instead of意为“而不是”。

　　4．考查时态。因为故事中的事已过去，故而故事中的动词要用一般过去式。

　　5．考查连词。结合句意可知此处需要一个表示时间先后关系的连词，又因为句中finished it为瞬间性动词，因此填入when。

　　6．考查不规则动词的过去式。由句中并列的谓语动词went和returned可知此处所提供动词要用过去式。

　　7．考查副词。go straight to意为“径直朝……走去”。

　　8．考查固定搭配。be covered with“覆盖着”。

　　9．考查引导让步状语从句的引导词，as/though引导让步状语从句时，从句要用倒装语序，此时as意为“尽管”。

　　特别提示：

　　引导让步状语从句的常见句式为：

　　①名词＋as/though＋主语＋系动词

　　Child as he is, he knows a lot．

　　注意：child前的冠词a要省去。

　　②形容词＋as/though＋主语＋系动词

　　Pretty though she is, she isn’t kind．

　　③副词＋as/though＋主语＋动词

　　Much as the couple needed money to pay for their new house, they didn’t ask their parents for help．

　　10．结合句意和空格前面的be可知，空格处需用动词的过去分词。
