题目内容
1.Every country shares things(61)incommon:we value family and laughter,cherish food and health,and celebrate large (62)festivals (festival) and traditions.Yet within the similar things we share,there are unique parts of each country.One characteristic that is famous of British people(63)is(be) their sense of humor,particularly self-mockery (自嘲).This is a type of humor that criticizes and undervalues oneself.For example,a fat person may joke:"I am on a new sea food diet.If I see food,I eat it."This is (64)awell-known self-mockery joke.It's difficult why self-mockery(65)is tied (tie) to the British people.But every nation's sense of humor comes from its culture and history.It could come from another British characteristic,modesty,(66)meaning (mean) not talking openly about your skills.This seems to be something that is similar with people in China,(67)wheremodesty plays a big part in daily life.It also acts as a defense of our self-respect by playing down our skills,this can (68)lessen(less) the chance of people criticizing us.Another possible reason is(69)thatthe British people do not take themselves too(70)seriously (serious).分析 文章介绍了不同国家的相同点和不同点.重视家庭,珍惜健康,庆祝节日等是每个国家的共同之处,但每个国家又都有独特之处.英国人幽默,还喜欢自嘲.和中国人一样,英国人也很谦虚.这些都和历史文化有关.
解答 61.in 考查介词.incommon是固定短语,意为"具有共同点",句意:每个国家都有共同之处,故填in.
62.festivals考查名词复数.根据and后的traditions是名词复数,且festival是可数名词,可知此处应用复数形式,故填festivals.
63.is 考查主谓一致和时态.句中that is famous是定语从句,主句的主语是One British characteristic,谓语动词要用单数;文章讲述的是客观事实,要用一般现在时态.故填is.
64.a 考查不定冠词.此处是用来限定名词joke,表示泛指,意为"一个笑话".表示"一"的概念时需用不定冠词,故填a.
65.is tied考查被动语态.tie与其逻辑主语self-mockery是被动关系,并且文章讲述的是客观事实,所以应用一般现在时的被动语态.故填is tied.
66.meaning考查现在分词.句中有逗号分隔且没有连词,要用非谓语动词;mean与modesty构成主谓关系,要用表示主动的现在分词.故填meaning.
67.where 考查定语从句.句中modestyplays a big part in daily life修饰Chinese people,是一个非限制性定语从句;从句结构完整,要用关系副词;先行词China表示地点,要用where来引导.故填where.
68.lessen 考查动词.句中less位于情态动词后作谓语,要用动词形式,less的动词是lessen.故填lessen.
69.that 考查连词.句中onaverage,the British people don't take themselves too…是作系动词is的表语,是一个表语从句;句意表达的是事实,所以用that来连接,且不可省略.故填that.
70.seriously考查副词.根据副词修饰动词,所以修饰动词take要用serious的副词形式,动词短语take sth seriously认真对待某事,故填seriously.
