Question

【题目】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】

试题分析：本文讲述了一个“鸡蛋未孵出，先别数小鸡”的故事。农民的女儿挑着牛奶时开心地想着牛奶卖后可以买蛋，蛋孵化成鸡，鸡长大后可以卖好价钱，穿上买来的新衣服一定可以迷住众生。正在高兴时，她把牛奶弄倒了，美梦破灭。告诉人们不要高兴得太早，不要过早地乐观。

【1】when 句意：一个农夫的女儿开始盘算时正挑着她的一桶牛奶。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可知本题是将while换成when。(while只能与表示延续性的动作连用，begin是非延续性动作，只能用when。）

【2】refuse句意：她想她一定会拒绝爱上她的人。由文中的“But I will toss my head, and say NO to them all.”（但是我会摇头，并对他们说不）可知，她想她会拒绝求爱的人们。故填：refuse.

【3】wore句意：她想当她穿上漂亮的衣服去集市时，她一定会拒绝爱上她的人。由文中的“ In this dress, I will go to the fair. ”穿着这套衣服，我会去集市”可知这里填“穿着”，作谓语，用动词，故填：wore.

【4】Thinking句意：想着这件事，她摇头，牛奶撒了一地。由原文中的：As she said this, she really tossed her head.可以推测出这里表示“想着……”，表示伴随的状态，用现在分词短语作状语。故填：Thinking.

【5】over/failed句意：她美好的计划落空了。由短文最后一句：That was the end of all her fine plans.（那是她所有计划的结局。）可以推测出本句表示“她的计划结束了，失败了”故填：over/failed
