分析 本文讲述了大蒜的用途.大蒜是一种很普遍的调味品,对大蒜的说明可以追溯到公元前3000年前,古希腊的神医用大蒜来治疗感染和物理障碍,古代很多国家认为大蒜能躲避不友好的精神,医疗伤口以及防御疾病,古罗马战士认为大蒜能带给他们勇气和精力,中世纪时人们认为大蒜可以阻止瘟疫.二十世纪早期大蒜的流行程度有些下降,但近几年大蒜的声望有得到了复原.如今在加利福尼亚大蒜是一种很有价值的经济作物,加利福尼亚的城市Gilroy还把自己称为"大蒜之都".医生有研究表明,大蒜可以抗癌,还可以降低胆固醇.尽管大蒜的一些医疗用途还没被证实,但有一点是确定的,就是人们喜欢它给食物带来的香味.
解答 25.are found;考查动词时态,句子的主语References to garlic 和动词find是被动关系,所以这里要用被动语态.
26.to treat;考查动词不定式,根据上下文,此处用动词的不定式表示目的.
27.as well as;考查短语搭配,根据句意"大蒜被认为能够避免不友好的精神,医疗伤口以及防御疾病",可知空格处可以用 as well as 表示成分的并列.
28.has been restored;考查动词时态,结合上下文句意,并根据句子中的时间状语in recent years可知,空格处应该用现在完成时.
29.itself; 考查反身代词,结合上下文,空格处所指代的是句子的主语 The city of Gilroy,所以用反身代词itself,意为"加利福尼亚州城市Gilroy认为自己是世界上的'大蒜之都'".
30.against; 考查介词,这是一个习惯用法,动词defend常与against连用,构成动词短语defend against,意为"防卫,保卫,抵抗",所以其名词形式defence后面也要 跟介词against.
31.Although/Though;考查连词,结合上文内容分析句子,这是一个让步状语从句,意为"尽管大蒜的一些医疗用途还没被证实,但有一点是确定的,就是人们喜欢它给 带来的香味",所以空格处用Although/Though表示
32.that;考查关系代词,这里关系代词that引导主语从句,句中it作形式主语,真正的主语是that从句.
点评 首先要通读全文,了解大意,抓住上下文语境所提供的信息,仔细分析带空格的句子,明确空格所要填的词义,词型和短语搭配给出所要填的正确形式,然后整体阅读短文,核对答案
