Ⅳ.语法填空
1．that'考查同位语从句。设空处引导同位语从句，解释说明fact的具体内容，that不作句子成分，不可以省略。
2．cages'考查名词复数。句意：没有链子，(也)没有笼子。根据前面的chains可知此处用复数。
3．to get'考查非谓语动词。句意：他看到附近有一位驯兽师，就问为什么这些大象只是站在那里，不试着逃脱。make no attempt to do sth.不尝试做某事。
4．smaller'考查形容词的比较级。此处表示与现在相比“更小”的时候，且前有much修饰，故用形容词的比较级。
5．are conditioned'考查固定用法。句意：随着它们长大，它们已经习惯了相信它们不能逃脱。be conditioned to习惯于。
6．so'考查连词。设空处前后为因果关系，所以用so。
7．believed'考查动词的时态。根据前边的could和宾语从句的时态可知用一般过去时。
8．hanging'考查非谓语动词。hang和主语之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词短语作状语。
9．simply'考查副词。此处应用副词作状语。
10．Failure'考查名词。句意：失败是学习的一部分。此处为名词作主语。
