分析 本文主要介绍了著名的探险家和作家芙蕾雅•斯塔克的旅行.她生活在探险家被视为英雄的时代,她前往中东偏远的地区,那里很少有欧洲人尤其是女性到过那里.她还足迹遍布土耳其,希腊,意大利,尼泊尔,阿富汗,黎巴嫩,伊朗等国家,并且会说流利的波斯语,俄语和土耳其语.
解答 25.had travelled 考查过去完成时.根据前面的句子"She travelled to distant areas of the Middle East"是一般过去时,在这之前很少的欧洲人尤其是女性旅行到过中东,可知此处是指过去的过去的动作,所以是过去完成时,故填had travelled.
26.Although 考查连词.根据下句"她和她的艺术家父母一起四处走动,学习了法语,德语和意大利语"可知,本句意为:虽然她小时候没有受过正规的教育,故填Although.
27.was sent 考查时态和语态.因为she与send是被动关系,根据and前的时态是一般过去时,可知此处为一般过去时的被动语态,故填was sent.
28.enabling 考查非谓语.enable与句子的主语she是主动关系且与谓语动词几乎同时发生,所以用现在分词作状语,故填enabling.
29.when考查连词.when在从句中作时间状语意为"当…的时候",句意:在1927年她33岁时,当她攒够钱时她前往了黎巴嫩,故填when.
30.by 考查介词.表示某种交通工具时用介词by,by donkey意为"骑驴",故填by.
31.another考查形容词.another后跟单数的可数名词,意为"另一的",句意:在她的另一次旅行中,故填another.32.for which 考查定语从句.短语award sb.for sth.意为"因为…而授予某人某物,分析句子结构可知,先行词classic在从句中作for的宾语,故填for which.
