26、efeated本文是记叙文。主要讲了一个战败的国王受到蚂蚁不怕失败的启发，最终重组军队，实现自己的雄心壮志的故事。41. 考查形容词。形容词distinguished（受人尊敬的）作定语，修饰名词king，故填distinguished。42. 考查过去分词。句意：由于他的军队被打败，他只好独自逃亡了。过去分词beaten作宾语补足语，与宾语his army是被动关系，故填beaten。43. 考查形容词。形容词miserable（悲惨的）作系动词look的表语，故填miserable。44. 考查现在分词。句意：他看到一只蚂蚁和一粒正驮在它身上的小麦。现在分词的被动形式being carri

27、ed作定语，修饰名词wheat，与之是被动关系，并且还表示正在进行。故填being carried。45. 考查介词。句意：它又试了一次，第二十次但永远是徒劳地。固定短语：in vain（徒劳地），故填in。46. 考查副词。副词awfully（非常地）修饰形容词sorry，故填awfully。47. 考查连词。句意：他有些怀疑蚂蚁是否能够成功。连词whetheror not（是否）引导宾语从句，故填whether。48. 考查关系代词。此处是定语从句引导词，要用关系代词which代替先行词place，在从句中作介词at的宾语，故填which。49. 考查时态。谓语动词，说是的过去的事情，要用

28、一般过去时态，注意set的过去式就是原形，故填set。50. 考查非谓语动词。句意：被打败一两次没有关系。此处缺少主语，说的是客观事实，用动词不定式或动名词作主语都可以，根据句意应该是被动的，故填to be defeated/being defeated。三、 阅读理解20. benjamin west, the father of american painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. but he did not know about brushes before a visitor t
