题目内容
2.In much of Asia,especially the so-called"rice bowl"cultures of China,Japan,Korea,(41)andVietnam,food is usually eaten with chopsticks.Chopsticks are usually two long,thin pieces of wood or bamboo.They can also be made of plastic,animal bone or metal.Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic.Truly elegant chopsticks might(42)be made(make)of gold and silver with Chinese characters.Skilled workers also combine various hardwoods and metal (43)to create(create)special designs.
The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.People probably cooked their food in large pots,(44)using(use)twigs(树枝)to remove it.Over time,(45)asthe population grew,people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.
Food in small pieces could be eaten easily with twigs which(46)gradually(gradual)turned into chopsticks.
Some people think that the great Chinese scholar Confucius,(47)wholived from roughly 551 to 479 B.C.,influenced the(48)development(develop)of chopsticks.Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and (49)were(be)too violent for use at the table.
Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.In India,for example,most people traditionally eat (50)withtheir hands.
分析 文章主要从筷子使用的范围,制作筷子的方式和方法,筷子使用的历史及其发展等几方面来展开论述的.本题主要考查词法和句法知识,集中考察了词性转换,并列句,定语从句,状语从句和非谓语动词等知识.
解答 41.and 考查并列连词.这里列举了一些亚洲国家的名字,是并列关系,故在最后两个名词之间用and来连接.
42.be made 考查固定词语搭配.be made of"由…制成",句意:精美的筷子可能非由金银制成的筷子莫属,故填be made.
43.to create 考查不定式做目的状语.句意:技术娴熟的工人也把各种各样的硬质木材和金属结合起来,来创造出特殊风格的筷子.这里是用不定式做目的状语,故填to create.
44.using 考查现在分词做方式状语.people是动词use的逻辑主语,两者之间是主动关系,用现在分词作方式状语,故填using.
45.as 考查时间状语从句.句意:随着人口的增长,人们把食物切成小块,这样可以煮得快一点.as
是连词,表示"随着"的意思,引导时间状语从句,故填as.
46.gradually 考查副词的用法.副词用来修饰形容词、动词或者副词,这道题中是用来修饰动词短语turned into的,故填gradually.
47.who 考查非限制性定语从句.句中有逗号,说明是非限制性定语从句,先行词是Confucius孔子,定语从句缺少主语,且指人,故填who.
48.development 考查词性转换.the+名词+of,意为"…的…",这里指"筷子的发展",故填development.
49.were 考查时态.根据句意可知,这里指的是刀子因太暴力而不适合在餐桌上使用,believed后跟一个宾语从句,and连接了两个并列的谓语,主语knives是复数,根据时态一致的原则,这里用一般过去时,故填were.
50.with 考查介词的用法.句意:在印度,大部分人还是用传统的吃饭方法--用手拿,with+表示具体工具的名词,故填with.
点评 语法填空是近年来高考英语推出的一种新题型.这种题型能全面检测学生在英语词汇、语法,甚至是句法上的运用能力,能更科学地反映学生的英语综合水平.本题型分两种情况:一种为已给单词提示,一种为不给单词提示.不给词时,这时候通常填的是虚词,并且只填一个词,如介词,冠词,副词,连词.已给单词提示题型的技巧:此类题可以考查学生对单词形式变化的掌握程度.单词形式变化主要有两种,一是词的形、数、式的变化,一是词的派生变化.在判断出词的变化之后还应该进一步审题,看是否需要使用复合的变化形式,这一点是很重要的.
