Question

【题目】Beijing was once a city of bikes, the capital of a country 【1】 (know) as the Bicycle Kingdom, where cars were reserved for official business and the politically powerful. 【2】, decades of remarkable economic growth led to a huge flowing of can in the city. Owning one became not just a marker of reaching the middle class but also a 【3】 (require) for marriage. As the economy boomed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, 【4】 (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic.

Fortunately now Beijing may be returning to its roots with a modem twist. Thanks to about 20 technology companies, brightly coloured shared bikes 【5】 (flood) Beijing since last year. Many local residents welcome the shared bikes 【6】 the flexibility and freedom they offer. They pick up the bikes and then ride and drop 【7】 off anywhere they like, locking the back wheel, with no need to find a fixed place.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】known

【2】However

【3】requirement

【4】creating

【5】have flooded/have been flooding

【6】for

【7】them

【8】that

【9】worse

【10】an

【解析】

【1】known

　考查固定搭配及非谓语。be known as…以……而出名/闻名。此处是形容词作country的后置定语，故要用形容词known。句意：北京曾经是一个自行车城，它是一个被称为自行车王国的首都，故填known.

【2】However

　考查连词。根据文章内容可知，本空前后是转折关系，故用However。然而，几十年的显著经济增长导致了城市的巨大流动。

【3】requirement

考查名词。a ____ for marriage 。本空前是不定冠词a，故要用名词，所以用reguire的名词requirement。

【4】. creating

　考查非谓语作结果状语。As the economy boomed, autos pushed bikes off the roads, ___4___ (create) heavy pollution and miserable traffic。随着经济的繁荣，汽车代替了自行车，这造成了严重污染和令人痛苦的的交通。Create的逻辑主语是前面的复合句，即前面的经济繁荣让汽车代替了自行车造成了污染和交通，因此导致后面的结果，故要用主动形式creating.

【5】have flooded/have been flooding

　考查现在完成时。由since ，（“自从”），引导的状语从句是过去时/过去的时间，主句要用现在完成时。故可用have flooded/have been flooding。

【6】for

　考查固定搭配。Offer for “出价”，“以…..出售”。许多当地居民欢迎共享自行车的灵活性和他们提供的自由。而本题有可能有人错填to。因为共享的自行车要花钱才能使用，故要用offer for，Offer sb.sth.=off sth. to sb.主动提供某人某物。
