A rich landowner decided to leave possessions to one of his two sons. As he lay on the deathbed, he called the two young men to him 【小题1】 the break of dawn and even before the cock could crow (鸣叫). He then said, “I will leave all my wealth to the one 【小题2】 can best fill this room. It was in this room 【小题3】 I made plans on how to build up my fortune. Not an inch must 【小题4】 (leave) uncovered. As I am getting 【小题5】 (weak) by the hour you both must come back by midnight.” He handed them a small piece of silver and an empty bag to put their purchases in. They both went out and 【小题6】 (hurry) came back with their purchases. 【小题7】 (bring) the straw, the elder began to spread it about the floor, 【小题8】 far from filling the room. It did not even cover half the space. “This is no use, son,” said the father, “and let me see how 【小题9】 brother fills the room.” The younger son took 【小题10】 his bag a large candle, set it on the table in the centre of the room and lit it. A brilliant bright light filled up the whole room. The father was delighted and exclaimed, “Son, I am sure you will use the wealth well.”at / before

(答案→)at / before 解析：【小题1】考察固定短语：at /before dawn 在破晓时【小题2】先行词the one为不定代词，从句中缺主语，只能用that充当【小题3】强调句型：it was+被强调部分+that从句 【小题4】考察被动语态 inch和leave为被动关系【小题5】由句意可知，故事中的地主身体越来越虚弱，应用形容词的比较级。【小题6】根据副词修饰动词的语法原理可知，hurry应用其副词形式hurriedly【小题7】由句法关系可知，此处应为bring的非谓语形式，由句意可知，兄长是先把稻草拿回来后，接着把它们铺在地上。应用bring的having done形式=after doing--【小题8】根据上下文串联关系可知，此处应填一个表转折的连词but【小题9】根据上下文串联可知，父亲说让我看看你弟弟是用什么如何充满这个房间的【小题10】根据句意可知，弟弟从他自个儿的包里拿出一只蜡烛考点:考察单词的词性和词义
