35、用法。在本句中，作者描述两个孩子沿着池塘边的小路(去上学)是令人愉快的，所以应用it作形式主语，不定式to walk down the road by a pond 是真正的主语。3考查固定句型。not only.but also.“不但而且”。4考查时态。在这一句中，作者使用了直接引语，是妈妈提醒孩子冰开始融化了，所以在is后应填beginning。5考查介词。在动词say后表示“对某人说”应用say to sb.，所以此处应填介词to。6考查连词。哈利和安妮不听从妈妈的叮嘱，踏上冰面，开始穿越池塘，可他们没走远，冰就裂开了，所以此处应填连词before或者when。7考查介词。孩子们掉进了水里，在动词fall后应与into搭配。8考查词性转换。本空放在句首修饰整个句子，应用lucky的副词形式，因此填Luckily。9考查非谓语动词。在附近劳作的人听到呼叫声后急忙冲到水里是为了救他们，此处用动词不定式作目的状语，所以填to save。10考查情态动词后跟动词原形。因为是在情态动词could的后面，所以应该填reach的原形。
