One day, Confucius (孔子) led his students to the State of Chu. When crossing

through a large forest, they saw an old man (81) __________ (stand) under a tree,

catching cicadas (蝉) with a bamboo stick. Confucius said, “You are very good at (82)

__________ (catch) cicadas. You must have some special skills.”

“That’s right!” the old man answered. “The cicada is a clever little insect. If they

hear the noise of the leaves in the wind, they (83) __________ (fly) away. Therefore,

people who want to catch cicadas (84) __________ (train) their hands to hold a

bamboo stick without shaking. If you can place three pellets (弹珠) on top of the bamboo stick without falling off, you might be able to catch cicadas; when five pellets (85) __________ (place) on top without falling off, catching cicadas is as easy as (86) __________ (pick) a ball up from the ground.”

He then added, “But that is not enough. People must be good at hiding themselves. Right now, I (87) __________ (stand) under a tree like half of a tree stump (树桩). Last of all, one must be attentive (专心的). When I am catching cicadas, I only see their wings. No matter what (88) __________ (happen), nothing will disturb me.

Hearing this, Confucius (89) __________ (turn) to his students and said, “No matter what you do, you can only succeed if you love what you’re doing and pay enough attention to it. This is what this old man (90) __________ (teach) us.”

【主旨大意】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇短文中叙述孔子前往楚国，行走在一片树林中，看见一个驼背人在捕蝉，以及老人讲述捕蝉的过程。

81. standing 由see sb. doing sth. 意为“看到某人正在做……” 可知。孔子看到一个老人正在捕蝉。

82. catching 由be good at doing可知，故用standing 。

83. will fly 句意：如果他们听见风中树叶的声音，他们将会飞走。此处是if引导的条件状语从句，从句是一般现在时，主句要用一般将来时。故填will fly。

84. must train 句意：因此想捉住禅的人必须训练他们的手握住竹竿没有颤抖。故用情态动词must加动词原型。

85. are placed句子的主语pellets和谓语动词place为被动关系，联系上下文可知，本句是一般现在时，主语又是复数故用are placed。

86. picking 句意：捕蝉就像从地上捡球一样容易。

87. am standing由时间状语now可知，此处用现在进行时，主语I，所以be动词用am。

88. happens 句意：无论发生什么事，将没什么事情打扰我。主句用的一般将来时。故从句用一般现在时。故填happens。

89. turned 由后面的“and said” 可知用一般过去时。故填turned.

90. has taught 句意：这就是这位老人已经教给我们的可知用现在完成时。故填has taught。
