分析 短文大意:"美国偶像"是一个美国真人秀电视节目,在2002年6月11日首次开播."美国偶像"是根据英国的电视真人秀开展的,成千上万的年轻歌手会去试演从而获得新的演唱偶像的机会.试演在一些大城市举行,评委会从中选出30位选手,然后公众选出九位选手会继续在下一个舞台上继续比赛,结果由公众投票选出.
解答 16.答案是to be chosen 考查不定式的被动结构.此处为不定式短作定语修饰chance,chance与choose之间是被动关系,所以用动词不定式的被动结构,故答案是to be chosen.
17.答案是best. 考查形容词最高级.根据语境可知,这句话要表达的意思是"这个节目试图去发现最好的年轻歌手",前面定冠词the后面要加形容词的最高级,所以答案是best.
18.答案是a. 考查冠词.a series of意思是"一系列的"是英语的固定搭配,所以答案是a.
19.答案是are held 考查动词被动语态.根据句意"试演在一些著名的城市举行"此处auditions与hold为被动关系,因此用被动语态,所以答案是are held.
20.答案是until.考查连词,根据上文语境可知,此处表达"直到剩下30位选手",until连词引导时间状语意思是"直到…",所以答案是until.
21.答案是their. 考查代词.根据文章内容,此处their代指the 30 compete's,所以答案是their.
22.答案是with.考查介词,根据句意"这九位选手连同由法官选出的卡"along with 是英语的固定搭配"连同,一起",所以答案是with.
23.答案是which.考查定语从句,被修饰的先行词是competition,competition在定语从句"竞赛在几个星期后举行"做主语,又因为这是一个非限制性定语从句,所以用关系代词which.
24.答案是performances.考查名词,根据句意"由三个评委来评估选手的表演",这里应该是名词performance,又因为是多个选手的表演所以用复数,故答案是performances.
25.答案是for.考查介词,根据句意"为争夺一个顶尖的记录而竞赛",compete for 固定搭配"为…而竞争,所以答案是for.
