Question

【題目】Once a farmer’s daughter began to think and plan while she was carrying her pai1 (桶) of milk from the field to the farmhouse.“I will sell this milk”, she said to herself,“and with the money I can surely buy three hundred eggs. I will put these eggs under hens. And surely two hundred and fifty of them will hatch(孵化). I will feed these chickens, and make them fat. And I will take them to the market when chickens are dear. I will sell them at the market, and with the money, I will buy a new dress. In this dress, I will go to the fair. I shall look so fine that all the young men will ask me to marry them . But I will toss my head, and say NO to them all..”As she said this, she really tossed her head. Down fell the pail, and the milk spilled all over the ground. That was the end of all her fine plans.

The moral of this story is: Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】when

【2】refuse

【3】wore

【4】Thinking

【5】over/failed

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個“雞蛋未孵出，先別數(shù)小雞”的故事。農(nóng)民的女兒挑著牛奶時開心地想著牛奶賣后可以買蛋，蛋孵化成雞，雞長大后可以賣好價錢，穿上買來的新衣服一定可以迷住眾生。正在高興時，她把牛奶弄倒了，美夢破滅。告訴人們不要高興得太早，不要過早地樂觀。

【1】when 句意：一個農(nóng)夫的女兒開始盤算時正挑著她的一桶牛奶。由短文第一句：Once a farmer’s daughter began to think and plan while she was carrying her pai1 (桶) of milk from the field to the farmhouse可知本題是將while換成when。(while只能與表示延續(xù)性的動作連用，begin是非延續(xù)性動作，只能用when。）

【2】refuse句意：她想她一定會拒絕愛上她的人。由文中的“But I will toss my head, and say NO to them all.”（但是我會搖頭，并對他們說不）可知，她想她會拒絕求愛的人們。故填：refuse.

【3】wore句意：她想當(dāng)她穿上漂亮的衣服去集市時，她一定會拒絕愛上她的人。由文中的“ In this dress, I will go to the fair. ”穿著這套衣服，我會去集市”可知這里填“穿著”，作謂語，用動詞，故填：wore.

【4】Thinking句意：想著這件事，她搖頭，牛奶撒了一地。由原文中的：As she said this, she really tossed her head.可以推測出這里表示“想著……”，表示伴隨的狀態(tài)，用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語。故填：Thinking.

【5】over/failed句意：她美好的計劃落空了。由短文最后一句：That was the end of all her fine plans.（那是她所有計劃的結(jié)局。）可以推測出本句表示“她的計劃結(jié)束了，失敗了”故填：over/failed
