题目内容
16.The Chinese language is (61)different(differ) from Western languages.It uses characters (62)which/that stand for ideas,objects or deeds instead of an alphabet.Chinese words are formed by putting together different characters.In many cases,a single character can also form a word.(63)The history of the Chinese language can be examined by looking at how these characters developed.According (64)toan ancient story,a man named Cang Jie invented Chinese writing.The first Chinese characters were drawings of physical objects.Some characters(65)have been simplified(simplify) and others have been made more difficult over time.
Not all characters were developed from drawings of objects.Sometimes to express ideas,some characters were made by (66)combining (combine) two or more characters together.For example,'rest'was made up of the characters for a man and a tree.The character'prisoner'was formed with a'man'inside a square.Other characters were developed for directions and numbers.It is easy(67)to distinguish(distinguish) their meanings by just looking at them.
Though these kinds of characters indicate meanings,one of their shortcomings (68)is (be) that they do not show(69)how they should be pronounced.Therefore,a method was developed to have one part of a character indicate the meaning and the other suggest the pronunciation.Many Chinese characters used today were made this way.
In the 1950s the Chinese government introduced simplified Chinese characters and now
they are (70)widely (wide) used in China's mainland.
分析 短文主要讲述了中国语言的发展历史.
解答 61.different,考查形容词的用法,位于be动词后应使用形容词different,be different from"与…不同".
62.which/that,考查定语从句引导词,先行词characters,在从句中充当主语,因此使用表示事物的引导词which/that.
63.The,考查冠词的用法,此处特指中国语言的历史,因此使用定冠词the.
64.to,考查固定搭配,according to"根据".
65.have been simplified,考查谓语动词,句子有时间状语over time,句子谓语动词应使用现在完成时,主语characters与动词simplify构成被动的关系,因此使用现在完成时的被动语态,故答案为have been simplified.
66.combining,考查动名词的用法,by为介词,后接动词的动名词形式,故答案为combining.
67.to distinguish,考查固定句型it is+形容词+to do sth."做某事是…",it为形式主语,句子的真正主语为动词不定式to do.
68.is,考查be动词,句子的主语为one of…,看成单数,句子表达的是客观事实,因此使用一般现在时.
69.how,考查宾语从句的引导词,句子成分完整,根据句意"没有展示出它们是如何发音的",因此使用表示方式状语的how.
70.widely,考查副词的用法,此处使用副词修饰动词are used.
