【解析】
这是一篇说明文。在冰岛,周四是与家人和朋友联系的传统节日。文章介绍这个节日的由来。
【1】考查介词。句意:在冰岛,周四是与家人和朋友联系的传统节日。固定搭配:connect with“连接,与……联系”。故填with。
【2】考查连词。句意:这可能听起来很奇怪,但直到1987年,冰岛才在周四有电视转播。前后是一种转折关系,故填but。
【3】考查过去分词。句意:人们认为,这是因为不想让这个国家到处都是电视成瘾者。分析句子可知,3 (fill) with TVaddicts作定语修饰nation,be filled with“充满”,用形容词短语做后置定语,故填filled。
【4】考查时态语态。句意:如果你在1966年访问冰岛,你会注意到这个国家唯一的国营电视台在星期四没有任何节目。根据in 1966可知,此处指的是过去的事情,再根据nothing和show之间是一种被动关系,是一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was shown。
【5】考查名词。句意:这一决定背后的想法是将周四作为社交的一天。定冠词the用在名词前面,所给词decide是动词,其名词是decision,再根据后面的谓语动词was,故填decision。
【6】考查定语从句。句意:这项禁令一直延续到7月份,当时电视台决定在7月份停播任何节目。此处the month of July是先行词,在后面的定语从句中作时间状语。故填when。
【7】考查副词。句意:幸运的是,周四的禁令在1983年结束,而7月的禁令一直持续到1987年。此处用副词修饰后面整个句子,所给词luck是名词,其副词是luckily,故填Luckily。
【8】考查动名词作宾语。句意:你可能已经看过这张有趣的图片了,是关于芬兰人在公共汽车站等车的。此处about是介词,后面是动名词的复合结构作宾语,故填waiting。
【9】考查形容词比较级。句意:如果你说话时站得离某人太近,你会注意到对方试图离你远一点。短语a bit放在比较级前面,修饰比较级加强语气,故填farther。
【10】考查形容词。句意:你应该注意到并尊重它,给对方留下尽可能多的私人空间,这样他或她才会感到舒服。此处feel“觉得”是连系动词,后面用形容词作表语,故填comfortable。
分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第7小题中先行词为名词July,再分析先行词July在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词July带到从句中可知,只能作时间状语,故确定关系词为when。
