分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了大不列颠博物馆开放阅览室的传奇故事,图书馆从拥挤空气不畅到开放阅览室后读者可以享受各种各样的书在舒适的新的阅览室里.
解答 61.to read.考查非谓语动词用法. 根据came后跟不定式作目的状语,故填to read.
62.crowded、考查形容词. 根据空前是were判断应用形容词形式.故填crowded.
63.well、考查固定短语. 根据固定短语as well as"和…一样,而且",故填well.
64.of、考查名词所有格. 根据rows和book之间的关系判断这是名词的所有格,故填of.
65.himself.考查代词用法. 根据句子的主语Panizzi以及句子的句意为他自己设计的著名的圆形阅览室,有一个美丽的高屋顶和四十公里的书架判断,故填 himself.
66.bookshelves 空前的forty kilometers of,可知应用bookshelf的复数形式.故填bookshelves.
67.and 根据空前后的表语drinks和breakfast是并列关系,故填and.
68.how.考查宾语从句.文中"You can imagine(68)how wonderful the new Reading Room is"是宾语从句,根据空后的wonderful可知应用how引导宾语从句,可知填how.
69.have written、考查时态. 根据前文的Since then判断应用现在完成时,故填have written.
70.comfortably、考查词形转换. 根据空前的enjoy判断应用副词修饰,故填comfortably.
点评 本文难度适中,考点涉及非谓语、形容词、冠词、代词、不定式、宾语从句和时态转换.需要考生对以上语法以及各类语法都能灵活切换.
