32、止它们进入城市的方法。1walked根据时间状语One night in December 2016可知,此处描述的是过去发生的行为,故要用一般过去时。2and这只熊在饭店外发现了一些食物,并开始吃起来。动词found和started之间为顺承关系,故要用and。3it根据语境可知,took的宾语应该是前面的the bear,故要用it来代替。4Luckily幸运的是,这只熊没有受到伤害。修饰整个句子,作状语,要用副词形式。5to find此处为目的状语,故要用动词不定式形式。【易错分析】有些同学可能会误填finding。现在分词作状语,表示伴随、方式、结果等,但不可作目的状语。6groups固定表达in groups表示“成群地”。7for固定表达make sth.for sb. make sb.sth.为某人制作某物。8when 先行词为winter,在定语从句中作时间状语,故要用when。9dangerous大型动物来到城市里寻找食物是危险的。作表语要用形容词形式。10coming固定表达stop.(from) doing.表示“阻止做某事”。本句中介词from省略了。
