3.Founded by Louis Cartier in Paris France in 1847,Cartier is well known in the fashion world.It is recognized as (32)one of the world's most distinguished luxury brands.Most early years of Cartier (33)were devoted(devote) to serving royal families and celebrities.King Edward VII of England referred to Cartier as"the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers."The company remained under family control (34)until 1964when an investment group bought the business.Many of Cartier's famous products were produced (35)by chance.In 1904,the Brazilian pioneer pilot,Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to Louis Cartier about the unreliability and impracticality of using pocket watches (36)while flying.In result,Cartier designed a flat wristwatch named"Santos".(37)As soon as it was available on the market,the watch was loved by not only Alberto Santos-Dumont but also other customers.It wasn't long (38)before the Santos watch became the most popular men's wristwatch then.
In 1907,Cartier began to work with a businessman named Edmond Jaeger,(39)whoagreed to exclusively supply the movements for Cartier watches.By that time,Cartier (40)had established(establish) branches in many cities.It was these earliest shops that witnessed Cartier's amazing development into today's leading jewelry and watch brand.
分析 Cartier与1874在法国创立,它被认为是世界上最著名的奢侈品牌之一,卡地亚的早期致力于为皇室和名流服务",曾被英国国王爱德华七世赞誉为"珠宝商的皇帝,皇帝的珠宝商".这家公司一直由家族控制,直到1964年一个投资集团买下了这个业务.1904年,卡地亚为飞行员Alberto Santos-Dumont 设计了第一只腕表,受到了广大顾客的喜爱.目前,卡地亚在很多大城市都有分支机构.
解答 32.one;考查数词,分析句意应为"它被认为是世界上最著名的奢侈品牌之一",所以空格处用one表示数量.
33.were devoted;考查动词的语态,结合上下文分析,句子的主语Most early years of Cartier 和动词devote应为被动关系,意为"卡地亚的早期致力于为皇室和名流服务",故此处应用被动语态.
34.until;考查连词,结合上下文分析,句意应为"这家公司一直由家族控制,直到1964年一个投资集团买下了这个业务",所以此处用until表示"直到…时候".
35.by;考查介词,by chance 是固定搭配,意为"偶然".
36.while;考查连词,分析句意为"飞行员Alberto Santos-Dumont 抱怨在飞行时带着怀表不方便"可知,这里用while表示"当…时候".
37.As soon as;考查句意,结合上下文分析,句意应为"它一上市就受到了Alberto Santos-Dumont 和其它顾客的喜爱",所以此处用as soon as 表示"一…就…".
38.before;考查介词,long before 意为"很久以前",这里与前面的wasn't连用,意为"不久",句意为"不久山度士腕表就成为男士最受欢迎的手表".
39.who;考查关系代词,分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词为a businessman named Edmond Jaeger,指人,关系代词又在从句中作主语,所以要用who.
40.had established;考查动词的时态,根据句子的时间状语By that time可知,动作发生在过去的过去,故用过去完成时.
