A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell. The Lord said to the man, “Come, I will show you hell.” They entered a room 1 a group of people sat around a huge pot of meat. Everyone was skinny, desperate and starving. Each 2 (hold) a spoon that could reach the pot, but each spoon had a handle so much longer 3 their own arms 4 it could not be used to get the stew into their own mouths. The suffering was terrible.
“Come, now I will show you 5.” The Lord said after a while. They entered another room, similar 6 the first—the pot of meat, the group of people, the same long-handle spoons. 7 there everyone was happy, healthy and satisfied.
“I don’t understand,” said the man. “8 are they happy here when they were miserable in the other room and everything was the 9?” The Lord smiled. “Ah, it is simple,” he said. “Here they have learned to feed each 10.”1. where。
答案:
(答案→)1. where。
解析:
1. where。空格后为一个定语从句,用以修饰名词room;由于先行词表地点,故用where来引导定语从句。
2. held。根据上下文可知,此句应用一般过去时。
3. than。根据其前的longer可知,其后应填空than。
4. that。此处的that与前面的so构成so…that…句式。
5. heaven。根据第一句A man spoke with the Lord about heaven and hell可知,前面看过了hell,所以现在要去看heaven。
6. to。similar to为英语惯用搭配,意为“与……相似”。
7. But。前后意思转折,故用but。
8. Why。询问原因,故用why。
9. same。根据上下文可知,此处填same,与前面出现的similar呼应。
10. other。与each构成搭配,feed each other 意为“彼此喂食”。
