语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国燕子的迁徙。 1.[解析] 考查形容词比较级。句意:它们聚集到一起是因为不久之后它们将飞往南方比较温暖的地方。根据语境可知此处应用形容词的比较级。故填比较级形式warmer。
[答案] warmer
2.[解析] 考查定语从句。句意:在那里,它们会发现大量的小飞虫,它们以此为食物。根据语境及句型结构可知,此处应用on which引导定语从句,which代替上文提到的insects。故填关系代词which。
[答案] which
3.[解析] 考查介词。句意:因为对它们来说,英国的冬天太冷了。此处用介词for表示“对……来说”。故填for。
[答案] for
4.[解析] 考查名词复数。句意:它们正在做短程的飞行训练。根据语境可知,此处飞行不止一次,故填名词的复数形式flights。
[答案] flights
5.[解析] 考查非谓语动词。句意:在秋天的时候,这些成群迁徙的鸟儿离开英国。根据句意可知,birds与动词migrate之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用现在分词作定语。故填现在分词migrating。
[答案] migrating
6.[解析] 考查副词。句意:在它们到达非洲温暖的地方之前,它们要平稳地飞行数百英里。此处应用副词修饰动词。故填副词steadily。
[答案] steadily
7.[解析] 考查形容词。句意:但是并不是所有的鸟儿都会到达那儿,因为途中有许多鸟儿在遇到的暴风雨天气中死去。根据空前的the以及空后的weather可知,此处修饰名词应用形容词。故填形容词stormy。
[答案] stormy
8.[解析] 考查被动语态。空处位于系动词get后,应用过去分词形式,get settled意为“定居下来”。故填过去分词settled。
[答案] settled
9.[解析] 考查动词的时态。句意:它们在同一地区相同的谷仓或树上定居下来,那是它们前一年秋天离开的地方。根据句意可知,此处“离开”是过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。故填过去式left。
[答案] left
10.[解析] 考查固定短语。句意:但是,这和风以及气流有关。句中动词短语have something to do with意为“与……有关”,为固定短语。故填不定式to do。
[答案] to do
