本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了孩子们在自家后院玩耍,看见一只猫被卡在后院的篱笆下,他们和妈妈一起救下了这只猫。这只小猫非常可爱,孩子们苦苦哀求父亲同意他们养这只小猫当宠物,最后父亲答应了。
36.句意:孩子们在后院玩耍时,一只小猫试图穿过他们的院子。
此处作谓语,根据后文是when引导的过去时的时间状语从句,可知此处用过去进行时was/were doing;根据地点状语in their backyard,可知此处选play玩耍,是动词,根据主语kids为复数,可知用were,故答案为were playing。
37.句意:这只猫看起来如此可爱以至于孩子们都求着要养它。
此处缺谓语,根据其后是形容词,可知此处可填系动词,故选look看起来,是系动词,根据后文begged用过去时,可知此处也用过去时,故答案为looked。
38.句意:你认为爸爸会允许我们养它吗?
此处缺谓语,根据固定搭配allow sb. to do意为“允许某人做某事”,可知选allow允许;根据语境,可知要用一般将来时will do,故答案为will allow。
39.句意:去吧,问问你爸爸。
根据语境,可知此处用祈使句表建议或命令,应该填动词原形;根据句意,可知选ask问,是动词,故答案为Ask。
40.句意:我们到目前为止已经喂养五只猫了。
根据时间状语so far,可知要用现在完成时have/has done;根据前文说要养猫,可知此处选feed喂养,是动词,其过去分词为fed,故答案为have fed。
41.句意:你妈妈和我没有时间去照顾更多了。
此处作后置定语修饰其前名词time,可知用动词不定式to do;此处构成动词短语take care of,意为“照顾”,所以选take,故答案为to take。
42.句意:看着孩子们脸上伤心的表情,这个父亲改变了主意。
此处缺谓语,根据后文said用过去时,可知此处也用过去时;根据后文父亲又答应了可以养这只猫,可知此处选change改变,是动词,故答案为changed。
43.句意:既然你们如此喜爱它,你们可以养它。
此处作谓语,根据语境,可知用一般现在时;根据主语you指的是兄妹二人,是复数,所以填动词原形;根据句意,可知选love喜爱,是动词,故答案为love。
44.句意:但是,这个父亲补充说,他们必须承诺自己照顾小猫。
此处作宾语从句的谓语,此处构成promise to do承诺做某事,可知此处选promise承诺,是动词;根据语境,此处要加情态动词must表“必须”,情态动词后用动词原形,故答案为must promise。
45.句意:然后,这只猫就被孩子们取名为“Lucky”了。
此处缺谓语,根据句意,可知选give,构成give the name,意为“取名”;又主语cat和give之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态be done,give的过去分词为given,故答案为was given。
