Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇記敘文．文章講述了在一個小村莊舉行的一個比賽，目的是為了測出父母最喜歡的東西是什么．最終，"我很聽話"這句話給出了答案．

解答 16．latest   考查形容詞的最高級．根據(jù)前面的the可知，這里應(yīng)該使用最高級the latest，表示"最新的"，修飾名詞，故填latest．
17．built   考查非謂語動詞．根據(jù)句子成分分析可知，這里需要一個非謂語動詞作定語，修飾名詞invention，因為二者為被動關(guān)系，故填built． 
18．their   考查代詞．根據(jù)句意，這里表示"孩子們自己獨特的天分"，故填their． 
19．with   考查介詞．根據(jù)句意，這里表示"一個帶著一條訓(xùn)過了的豬的男孩出現(xiàn)了"，故用with后接名詞修飾one boy，表伴隨． 
20．An   考查冠詞．根據(jù)前后文的a girl，a boy，one boy可知，這里要用不定冠詞表第一次提到，且intelligent以元音開頭，所以填an． 
21．nothing  考查不定代詞．根據(jù)后文的"Nor…"可知他什么也沒帶，故填nothing． 
22．simply  考查副詞的用法．根據(jù)句意，修飾動詞said，要用副詞形式，故填simply． 
23．that 考查結(jié)果狀語從句．根據(jù)句意，這里表示"如此…以至于…"，要用"such…that…"句型，故填that．
24．exploded  考查動詞的時態(tài)語態(tài)．根據(jù)句子成分分析可知，這里需要一個謂語動詞，結(jié)前面的began可知，表示過去的動作． 故填exploded．
25．what   考查賓語從句．根據(jù)句子成分分析，介詞of后跟了一個賓語從句，從句中缺主語，表"什么"，故用what引導(dǎo)．

點評 非謂語動詞作定語：to do a．表將來    b．修飾被序數(shù)詞，最高級或no，all，any等限定的詞，且表主動     c．修飾抽象名詞（ability，chance，idea，hope，wish，fact，promise等）
                             doing表主動和進行
                             done表被動和完成
