题目内容

11．In China，there are various means of transport for day-to-day living：subways，buses，cars，and even bikes…but taxis rank high on the list．
    Taxis are certainly the most convenient means of transport，as （61）it requires little effort to raise your arm to call a cab．Besides，fares in China are （62）affordable（afford）．They start in daytime hours in the capital at RMB 13 yuan for  （63）thefirst 3 kilometers，after which you pay another RMB 2.3 yuan per kilometer．This is far （64）lessexpensive than that in European capitals．In London，for example，two kilometers'ride could cost you about RMB 63 yuan．
    Taxicabs as we know them today first （65）appeared（appear） in China in the early 20th century，but   （66）were（be） the reserve （特权） of the rich and the powerful．Nowadays，（67）taking/to take（take） a cab is commonplace in China．
Before coming to China，I  （68）was warned/had been warned（warn） that there were awful drivers who would make long detours （绕行）（69）to get（get） higher fares．However，most taxi dr ivers I have met are nice．They know the city like the back of their hands，and are glad to be  （70）ofsome help．

分析本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国出租车的情况．

解答 61．it 62．affordable 63．the 64．less 65．appeared 66．were 67．taking/to take 68．was warned/had been warned 69．to get 70．of
61．it 考查代词．此处的it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to raise your arm to call a cab．
62．affordable 考查形容词．be动词后应用形容词作表语．affordable意为"负担得起的"．
63．the 考查冠词．序数词前需要用定冠词the，表示"第几"．
64．less 考查比较级．此处需要用比较级，根据句意：这比在欧洲的首都便宜得多．用less．
65．appeared 考查动词时态．根据句中的时间状语in the early 20th century可知，应用一般过去时．
66．were 考查动词时态和主谓一致．本句主语Taxicabs是复数，根据时间状语in the early 20th century可知，应用一般过去时，且谓语动词用复数were．
67．taking/to take 考查非谓语动词．分析句子结构，句中缺少主语，应该用动词-ing形式或不定式．
68．was warned/had been warned 考查动词的时态和语态．I与warn存在动宾关系，应用被动语态．时间状语为Before coming to China，空处可以用一般过去时的被动语态．此处也可以强调空处的动作发生在来中国这一动作之前，用过去完成时的被动语态．
69．to get 考查动词不定式．此处用动词不定式表示目的，作目的状语．
70．of 考查介词．"of+名词"相当于该名词所对应的形容词，即of help相当于helpful，所以填of．

点评考生在对题目进行作答之前，要先对题干进行详细阅读，检查题目中是否有提示词语存在；而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分，例如，主语、谓语等；最后根据其所充当的句子成分，加之其所处句子的语态等，选择词语的正确形式，例如，动词的现在分词或者过去分词，或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等．
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时，考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置，判断所填词语的词性，例如，连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等．定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前，起到对名词进行限制的作用．而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等．在运用介词的时候，往往考查介词的固定搭配，其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配．
