15、iding an (inspire)example of the efforts to create a large lake”可知，此处为过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响，所以用现在完成时，即Rajesh Naik已经把120英亩的荒地变成了一个有机农场。2inspiring 考查非谓语动词。为创造一个大型湖泊的努力提供了一个鼓舞人心的例子。根据语境可知，此处用现在分词作定语，意为“鼓舞人心的”。3where 考查定语从句。坚硬的岩石结构使其难以蓄水。分析句子结构可知此处为定语从句，且从句中不缺少主语或宾语，又根据语境可知用where引导定语从句，在从句中作地点状语。4that 考查连接词。人
16、们认为耕种这片土地是不可能的，我正在浪费我的事业，分析句子结构可知此处为宾语从句，若动词后有两个或多个并列的宾语从句时，第二个和后面几个从句的that不能省略，所以此处应填that。5to create 考查非谓语动词。建成这个湖需要花费大量的财政资源和时间，此处it takes(sb.)时间/金钱to do sth.为固定结构，其中动词不定式为真正的主语。6growth 考查名词。这不仅促进了该地区植物的生长，而且也提高了农场周边地区的地下水位。根据语境可知此处用名词growth意为“生长”。7of 考查介词。参见上题解析。根据语境可知the farm与the surrounding are
17、as为所属关系，所以用of所有格。8more 考查形容词比较级。Rajesh还创办了一个有200多头奶牛的牛奶场。此处more than意为“超过”，为固定结构。9is carried 考查动词的时态及语态。根据语境可知，此处主语model与动词carry之间为被动关系；空处所在句描述的是将来的情况，又因为在含有条件状语从句的复合句中，从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时，故此处用一般现在时的被动语态。10totally 考查副词。此处修饰动词短语based on，用副词。.读后续写阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。When I was 12 years old，I wa
