【详解】句意:——你们昨天干什么了?——我们昨天去学校旅行,并在农场前挤了牛奶。根据“cows”可知,空处需动词,表示“挤……的奶”,再根据“went”及“and”可知,and是并列连词,所以其前后的时态保持一致。went是过去式,故空处需动词milk的过去式milked。故填milked。
12.He ________ (feel) a little nervous before he gave his ideas at the meeting.

During the Southern and Northern dynasties, there was a famous painter called Zhang Sengyou. He was very good at painting animals, especially the dragons .
One day, he visited a temple (寺庙) and saw a white wall. An idea came into his mind. 1.他决定在墙上画四条龙, but gave none of them eyes.
People saw these paintings without eyes and felt that it was really strange. 2. So they asked Zhang why he didn’t paint the eyes for the dragons.
He answered seriously, “3.眼睛对龙非常重要。If I paint the eyes for the dragons, they will fly away.” However, nobody believed his words. So Zhang took up a brush and added the eyes to two of the dragons. 4. The minute he finished his work, the two dragons flew into the sky, while the other two dragons without eyes were still on the wall.

【导语】文本主要讲述了“画龙点睛”的故事。
1.他:he;决定做某事:decide to do sth.;画:paint;四条龙:four dragons;在墙上:on the wall。根据“gave”可知,此处句子为一般过去时,故谓语动词decide应用过去式decided。故填He decided to paint four dragons on the wall.
2.So“所以”;they“他们”;“asked Zhang”(询)问张;why he didn’t paint the eyes“为什么他不画眼睛”;for the dragons“为龙”。故填:所以他们问张为什么不给龙画眼睛。
3.眼睛:eyes;非常重要:very important;对龙:for dragons。此处谓语动词应用be动词。结合语境可知,此处为直接引语,故应用一般现在时,由于主语eyes为复数,故应用are。故填Eyes are very important for dragons.
4.The minute“一……就……”;he“他”;finished his work“完成他的画作(即画完眼睛)”;the two dragons“这两条龙”;flew into the sky“飞上了天”。故填:他一画完眼睛,这两条龙就飞上了天。

【答案】 There are many traditional stories in Chinese culture. We can learn a lot from these stories. Let me tell you my favourite story—Yu Gong Moves the Mountains.
Once upon a time, there was an old man. His name was Yu Gong. There were two mountains near his house. They were too big and it took a long time to walk to the other side. Yu Gong decided to move the mountains. So, his family kept working day after day, year after year. Finally, a god was moved by their spirit and he sent two gods to take the mountains away.
This story tells us that we should never give up when we meet difficulties.
