【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文讲述阅读经典文学可以从几个方面提高你的英语语言能力。并且讲述了阅读的方法。
【1】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应该用非谓语动词,由空格后的by判断是被动,所以用过去分词形式。故填written。
【2】考查副词。句意:然而,这并不会像魔法一样发生。单个词位于句首且有逗号,一般是副词,根据句意可知,前后句意是转折关系。故填however。
【3】考查副词。句中“read the book”是动词短语,应该用副词修饰。故填carefully。
【4】考查谓语动词。根据空格前面的will可知此处应该用动词原形,large的动词形式是enlarge。故填enlarge。
【5】考查连词。句意:如果你仔细检查语言/当你仔细检查语言,你就能学会欣赏不同的语言风格。联系上下文可知,本句句式和它的前一句保持一致,前面的句子用if引导条件状语从句,此句也可以这样用。另外,此处用连词when也符合语法和语境。故填if/when。
【6】考查名词的数。style为可数名词,此处没有冠词或其他修饰词,根据“可数名词不能以单数形式单独存在”可判断出此处用它的复数形式泛指一类事物。故填styles。
【7】考查冠词。此处把两个人的写作风格进行对比,那么每个人的风格都是特指,且根据前文的The light and ironic style of Jane Austen,也可判断出此处用定冠词。故填the。
【8】考查形容词性物主代词。空格后的“full benefit”是名词词组,所以用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
【9】考查非谓语动词。句意:读一次了解这个故事,再读一次欣赏描写手法和故事发展,最后读一次熟悉词汇和表达。根据句型结构可知,此处要表达“读一遍的目的是了解这个故事”,表目的用不定式,且下文有类似结构“once again to appreciate the way”。故填to understand。
【10】考查固定搭配。句意:读一次了解这个故事,再读一次欣赏描写手法和故事发展,最后读一次熟悉词汇和表达。根据固定短语become familiar with对…熟悉,可知此处填介词with。故填with。
familiar的常用短语有两个:be/get familiar with 和be familiar to
当译为“对…熟悉”时用be/get familiar with(其主语一般时人)
例如第10小题
Read it once___9___(understand)the story,once again to appreciate the way the characters are described and the story develops and finally to become really familiar___10___the new vocabulary and expressions.读一次了解这个故事,再读一次欣赏描写手法和故事发展,最后读一次熟悉词汇和表达。本句是祈使句,暗含主语you。
当译为“为某人熟知;对某人来说熟悉”时用be familiar to(其主语一般是物)
例如:
Luxun’s works are familiar to us students.鲁迅的作品为我们学生所熟悉。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.【1】In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning.【2】The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.【3】Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities.【4】Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus(过剩)food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.【5】Today, instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred nonfarmers.
A. That kept cities very small. |
B. The rest live in small towns. |
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered |
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies. |
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. |
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. |
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings. |
