2、ford University thinks so.In his latest report,he argues that the use of all senses is central to health.However,sensory deprivation is common in modern life,and it is harmful to our health.Indeed,we take it for granted that most information we use to understand our world comes through our eyes.But

30、stion.“Do you know 5.rice comes from?” The elder son smiled and answered,“Anyone with sense knows the answer that rice comes from the kitchen.” The 6.(young) son blinked(眨眼) and said,“No!How can you say rice comes from the kitchen!It indeed comes from the bag.” The rich man looked 7. his sons and tu
31、rned red with 8.(angry).“You both are so silly!Why dont you ask me 9.(help) you when you dont know the right answer?You are both wrong!Rice comes neither from the kitchen 10. from the bag.It comes from the barn(谷仓)!”答案与解析:1.named解析:分析句子可知,a wise man作句子的主语,said是句子的谓语,因此,要填写非谓语动词。name和man之间为动宾关系,故用过去分
32、词named作定语。2.death解析:your是形容词性物主代词,其后接名词,故填death。3.Hearing解析:分析句子结构可知,这里要用非谓语动词作状语。由于hear和主句主语the rich man 之间为主动关系,故用现在分词。4.says解析:分析句子结构可知,这里要填谓语动词的形式。根据句子中的动词are 和praises可知,这里用现在时态,而且句子的主语是everyone,故用现在时第三人称单数,因此填says。5.where解析:根据上下文的语境可知,这里的意思是“你知道大米来自于哪里吗”。再分析句子成分可知,要填写的词引导宾语从句,因此填where。6.younger
33、解析:从前面的the elder son可知,这里指的是小儿子,因此填younger与elder对应。7.at解析:这里指这个富人看着他的儿子们,因此填介词at构成短语look at。8.anger解析:这句话的意思是“他气得脸都红了”,with是介词,后面接名词,angry的名词形式是anger。9.to help解析:ask sb.to do sth.“要求某人干某事”,故要用help的不定式to help。10.nor解析:根据语境可知,这里的意思是“大米既不是来自厨房也不是来自袋子”,因此要填nor与前文的neither搭配。.短文改错(2015吉林长春第二次质监)Dear manag
