His home is a large houseboat with a roof, one of hundreds that move up and down. In about six years he has not once been on l 2 but he is never lonely. He is a strong swimmer. In fact, he could swim before he could walk. When he wants to play with his f 3 he just swims across to their boats or asks them to v 4 him. Ming’s father is a fisherman, but he never u 5 a line or a net（網(wǎng)）. Great black birds called cormorants do the fishing for him. Rings（圈）have been put around the birds’ n 6 so that they cannot eat the fish they catch. They have been t 7 to bring the fish to people. And then people reward（獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)）them with a fine big fish as soon as their work is f 8 . Ming loves watching the cormorants, but better still he likes going s 9 with his mother. The shops, of course, are boats very like his o 10 .　　　　　　1. river 2. land 3. friends 5. uses 6. necks 7. taught/trained 8. finished 9. shopping 10. own　　　　　　【解析】本篇短文第一句“關(guān)于明的在水上的生活”，給大家一個(gè)總體的信息，重點(diǎn)是“on the waters”，而且時(shí)態(tài)為現(xiàn)在時(shí)?！　　?. 既然Ming的生活是和水緊密聯(lián)系的，所以第一個(gè)空就很容易了，r打頭的關(guān)于水的單詞，就是river，因?yàn)榍懊嬗泄谠~a，所以只用單數(shù)形式?！　　?，“Ming住在一個(gè)船型的屋子里，6年里他從來沒有到過**，但是他從來不孤單”，也就是說他非常喜歡在水上的生活，因此可以推測(cè)出他從來沒有來過陸地，填land?！　　?with，通常后面可以加fire、snow，但是與文意不符，所以是與朋友們玩，后文的their說明是復(fù)數(shù)形式，填friends?！　　?them to ** him和or之前的swims across to their boats是相互對(duì)應(yīng)的，要么Ming去朋友那里，要么他的朋友來看他，所以填visit，表示拜訪的意思?！　　?，Ming的父親是一位漁夫，一位漁夫捕魚用線或者網(wǎng)是非常正常的事情，但but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，說明他的父親與一般漁夫不一樣，不使用線或者網(wǎng)，后文的birds do the fishing for him也說明他自己不需要用這些工具。他的父親是第三人稱，所以填uses?！　　?，通過上下文可以得知，Ming的父親在那些鸕鶿的某個(gè)部位圈上了圈，所以它們就不能把捕到的魚吃下去了。通常鸕鶿吃魚是直接吞的，如果不讓它們吃下去的話只能在脖子上圈住，這樣魚就會(huì)卡住，吞不下去，而且鸕鶿是復(fù)數(shù)形式，所以填necks?！　　?，而是通過后天的訓(xùn)練和教導(dǎo)，所以填taught或者trained?！　　?，當(dāng)鸕鶿的工作**了之后，它們會(huì)得到一大條魚作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，從邏輯上來看，應(yīng)該是完成工作后，而且空前有is，所以填finished。　　　，出現(xiàn)了shop，提示了此空和shop有關(guān)，應(yīng)該是由go引導(dǎo)固定詞組，go shopping，表示去購物?！　　?。因?yàn)镸ing是生活在水上的，那么肯定商店也是在水上的，從短文的第二句可以推測(cè)出，商店也是和Ming的家的外形很像，所以填own，詞組of one39。s own表示某人的，這里解釋為“這個(gè)商店也和Ming自己的家外形很像”?！　　　　　　　　assage 2 Can animals be made to work for people?

The scientists say that many d 5 animals may be trained to do a lot of simple things if they know they will get a reward f 6 doing that. Of course, as we know, dogs can be trained to look after a house, and soldiers in both old and modern t 7 have u 8 geese to give warning（警報(bào)）by m 9 a lot of noise when an enemy es near.
