【题目】语法填空

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known【1】 his knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man【2】(teach) his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great 【3】(patient).

One day, a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many more questions about things than we do?【4】I think we students have far more than you.”

With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But it is wrong【5】 (think) a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the【6】 (big) one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is【7】(your). Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face something【8】(know). And that’s【9】I myself have more questions than you do. The【10】(much) you learn, the more questions you have. You will never learn enough, you know.”

【4】But

【5】to think

【6】bigger

【7】yours

【8】unknown

【9】why

【10】more

【8】unknown 根据句意可知“那意味着我有更多的机会去面对未知的东西”。故应填unknown。

【9】why 句意：那就是我为什么我自己比你有更多的问题。此处用why引导表语从句。

【10】more 固定句式：the+比较级……，the+比较级……，越……就越……，故应填more。
