第四节：任务型阅读．阅读短文，根据其内容，完成下列任务．
One morning it took me an hour to watch a small ant carry a huge feather （羽毛） across my
back hall．Several times it met objects on its way and after a short time it would go around them．
At one point the ant had to deal  ①a crack （裂缝 ） about 10mm wide．After a short time of thought，the ant put the feather over the crack，  ②it and picked it up on the other side，then continued on its way．
I was attracted by the cleverness of this ant，one of God's smallest creatures．It was an example of the wonder of creation．Here was an insect，tiny，yet given a brain （大脑） to think，discover and beat difficulties．But this ant，just like people，also shares human weaknesses（弱点）．
After some time the ant finally reached its home--a flower bed at the end of the hall and a small hole that was the entrance to its underground home．And it was here that the ant finally faced the problem．How could that large feather be possibly pulled into the small hole？
Of course it couldn't．So the ant，after all this trouble and using much creativity，beating difficulties all along the way，just left the feather behind and went home．
The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its brave journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a heavy weight．
Isn't our life like that？

Answer 1

答案：71．①with  考查固定搭配．根据第三行题干At one point the ant had to deal①a crack （裂缝 ） about 10mm wide．在那一刻这个蚂蚁不得不处理一个大约10毫米宽的裂缝．deal with处理，是固定搭配．上文讲了这只蚂蚁载着巨大的羽毛几次遇到了物体都绕过去了，这次遇到了大约10毫米宽裂缝不得不处理．故答案为with．
    ②crossed  考查动词．根据第三行第二句After a short time of thought，the ant put the feather over the crack，经过短时间的思考，这只蚂蚁把羽毛放在裂缝上面．和picked it up on the other side，then continued on its way．在另一边捡起它然后继续前行．可知这只蚂蚁通过羽毛越过了这条裂缝．句子为一般过去时．故答案为crossed．
72．但是这只蚂蚁如人一样，也有人类那样的弱点．考查翻译．But 但是，表示转折．just like正如…、就像…是固定搭配．also也，放句中．share是动词分享的意思．human weaknesses是指人性的弱点．故答案为但是这只蚂蚁如人一样，也有人类那样的弱点．
73．（A） large  细节理解题．根据第四段第二行How could that large feather be possibly pulled into the small hole？那条大羽毛怎么可能被拉进这个小洞呢？可知在蚂蚁家的入口处它发现这条羽毛对小洞来说太大了．故答案为large．
（B） creative  细节理解题．根据第五段第一行So the ant，after all this trouble and using much creativity，所以这只蚂蚁在所有这些麻烦之后使用了丰富的创造力．可知作者认为这只蚂蚁是富有创造力的．故答案为形容词creative．
74．Yes．细节理解题．根据第一句One morning it took me an hour to watch a small ant carry a huge feather （羽毛） across my back hall．一天早上我花了一个小时的时间看一只小蚂蚁带着一个巨大的羽毛穿过我后面的走廊．可知作者起初对这只蚂蚁很感兴趣．所以答案是肯定的．故答案为Yes．
75．think the problem through  主题归纳．根据倒数第二行The ant had not thought the problem through before it began its brave journey and in the end the feather was nothing more than a heavy weight．蚂蚁在开始它勇敢的旅程之前没有想过这个问题最后羽毛只不过是一个沉重的负担．和全文内容可知作者主要想告诉我们在我们做任何事情之前都应该把问题思考透彻．故答案为think the problem through．
