缺词填空

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e1.. So they simply ignore(忽视) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h2. a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s3. it with all of you.

Once, there’s a young man who looked down on the o4.. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻烦事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father.

One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t5.. As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l6.the falling leaves from a dying tree.”

Hearing this, the father smiled but said n7.. They continued the walking in silence. When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut（核桃）and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”

“But every fruit was born by f 8..” Refuted(反驳) the son.

“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”

【解析】

本文主要讲述现在很多年轻人正在变得很骄傲、不自量力，他们认为他们可以做所有的事。因此他们会忽略父母的思想，作者也是其中一个。后来爸爸举了一个核桃的例子，告诉他不是每一朵花都能结下果实，作者知道了应该努力成为一朵能结果实的花朵。

1.句意：他们认为他们可以做所有的事。

分析句子结构，从句缺少宾语。根据上句“Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over−confident.现在，越来越多的年轻人正在变得很骄傲、不自量力。”可知，应是他们认为他们可以做每件事。everything每件事，不定代词作宾语。故填everything。

2.句意：听到我爸爸讲的故事后，我完全改变了想法。

根据空后“a story told by my father我爸爸讲的故事。”可知应是“听到”；after作介词，后接动名词。故填hearing。

3.句意：现在我想和你们分享它。

would like to do sth.想做某事；share sth. with sb.和某人分享某物。故填share。

4.句意：曾经有个年轻人看不起老人。

根据后句“He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻烦事) in your busy life他总认为在忙碌的生活中老年人净麻烦事”可知，年轻人看不起老人。the +adj.表示一类人，the old老年人。故填old。

5.句意：儿子建议他们一起去散步。

take a walk散步，动词短语，故用副词修饰。根据后句“As they walked他们散步时”可知，儿子建议他们一起去散步。together一起，副词。故填together。

6.句意：就像一颗垂死的树上的落叶。

根据前句“We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit.我们的年轻人都喜欢这可爱的花，那么健康，那么有活力，充满精神。”可知，此句是对比老年人，即像一棵垂死的树上的落叶。like作介词，意为“像”。故填like。

7.句意：听到这个，父亲笑了，但什么也没说。

根据后句“They continued the walking in silence.他们静静地继续散步。”可知，父亲什么也没说。故填nothing。

8.句意：但是每个果实都是由花而生的。

根据下句“Yes，but not every flower can bear fruit…是的，但不是每一朵花都能结出果实……”可知，每个果实都是由花而生的。故填flower。

9.句意：从那以后，我总是把这个故事记在心里。

根据句意可知，应是把这个故事记在心里。in one’s mind在某人心里，固定短语。故填mind。

10.句意：我们还必须知道我们的父母不是讨厌的人，而是经验丰富的核桃，大自然的杰作。

此句缺少连词。前部分“We also have to know that our parents aren't nuisances我们还必须知道我们的父母不是讨厌的人”与后部分“experienced walnuts, works of nature.经验丰富的核桃，大自然的作品。”是转折关系，应用连词but，意为“而是”。故填but。
