答案與解析

本文講述了一只老鷹在和一群山雞生活過程中不斷磨滅掉斗志的故事，故事鼓勵我們應該要有自己的雄心壯志，不要受消極因素的影響！

16. hatched在主語The eagle后，作謂語，又與后面的thought為并列謂語，故用一般過去式。

17. what引導賓語從句并在從句中作do的賓語，故用連接代詞。

18. a因life為單數可數名詞，故前用不定冠詞。

19. Gradually副詞作狀語，表示“逐漸地”。

20. soaring由see sb. doing sth.句型可知填soaring。

21. above介詞表方位，意為：鳥在高山上飛。

22. thought在句中作賓語，故用名詞形式。

23. him在句中作賓語，指代前面的a beautiful bird，文中人稱用的是擬人手法，故用him。

24. about 因complain about意為“對……抱怨”。

25. so兩個句子，且兩者之間沒有關聯詞，必定是填關聯詞；兩句為因果關系，應填so。
