17、个让自己幸福成功的奶酪。这个故事旨在阐述人类与动物的区别在于人们会思考。1looking 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:很久之前在遥远的地方住着四个穿越迷宫的小家伙,他们寻找奶酪滋养自己并让自己开心。动词短语look for与four little characters构成主动关系,使用现在分词作状语,所以要填现在分词looking。2to_notice 解析:考查形式主语。本句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语to notice what the four of them were doing。所以要填不定式to notice。3carefully 解析:考查副词。在英语里副词通常作状语
18、修饰形容词、副词、动词或者整个句子,而形容词通常作定语修饰名词或代词。本句中应该使用副词修饰动词look,所以要填carefully。4the_most_amazing 解析:考查形容词最高级。句意:但是如果你足够仔细地观察,你就会发现你能够看见的最令人惊讶的事情。由have ever seen可知句中使用形容词最高级表示强调,所以要填the most amazing。5but 解析:考查连词。句意:每天那两只头脑虽然简单但却有很好本能的老鼠Sniff 和Scurry一直在寻找他们喜欢的硬奶酪,这是老鼠经常做的事情。根据句意可知上下文是转折关系,所以要填but。6as/which 解析:考查定
19、语从句。句中关系代词which指代前面一句话的内容,引导定语从句并在句中作动词do的宾语,此处也可填连词as,表示“正如老鼠经常做的那样”。7Filled 解析:考查形容词。句意:充满各种想法,两个小矮人用头脑寻找一种不同的奶酪。句中形容词定语Filled with many beliefs对the two little people的情况进行说明,所以要填Filled。8was_believed 解析:考查时态语态。句中It是形式主语,与动词believe构成被动关系,要用被动语态,而且本句叙述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时的被动语态,所以要填was believed。9successful 解析:考查形容词。句意:人们认为这种奶酪会让他们感觉幸福和成功。句中空处与happy是并列结构,都要使用形容词,所以要填successful。10in 解析:考查固定短语。句意:尽管老鼠和小矮人不一样,但他们也有一些共同之处。介词短语in common相同的,在句中作定语修饰代词something。所以要填介词in。
