分析 本文是一篇文化古城的介绍.描述了因其独特的建筑风格及古世纪的街道等特色而被誉为世界文化遗产的爱丁堡.文章介绍了爱丁堡的景色结构,城市特色,文化氛围以及历史价值等,非常适宜人居住和游览参观.
解答 答案:GHCDJ IBEFA
41:G. 空前是the,空后是of可以很明显地看出此处需要填入一个名词.再结合上文,再说Edinburgh有很多风景名胜.因此,此处应该填入一个与之相关的名词.符合文意的只有setting,它是由动词set加ing形势,原意是环境,安装,布置.在此处可以理解为景点分布.
42:H.因为前一句描述Edinburgh的古老之处,这里转折(Yet),所以不是困在过去:be stuck in,后面一句And neither is it all about bagpipes,shortbread,whisky and tartan.也是提示.
43:C.前面一句说爱丁堡是欧洲最有活力的国际大都市之一,显然也经常被视为最适宜居住的地方之一;regularly有规律地,经常地.be voted as被选定为.
44:D.此处考查固定搭配be filled with意为充满.
45:J.结合前面一句After dark Edinburgh has a lively nightlife(天黑后爱丁堡拥有丰富的夜生活),应该是包括时髦的、流行的(stylish)酒吧.
46:I.这是一句复现句,在第4行有这一句lying on the cliff of an ancient volcano right in the center of the city,由此提示可知选I.
47:B.本句是用两个形容词来修饰名词choice,由此推断该空应该是与varied相平行的一个形容词,结合选项应该是extensive,广泛的,大量的.
48:E.want to动词不定式后面应该跟动词原形.选项中的动词原形有exercise和explore,explore是探索,探险的意思,填入空中明显不对,"探索钱包"逻辑不通.因此判断填入exercise.Exercise我们熟悉的意思是锻炼,练习.Exercise your wallet在英语中是一个比较常见的用法,意为花钱.
49:F.本句中的所填空应该是和modern相对立的,指的是爱丁堡这个城市是一个既古老又现代的城市.
50:A.动词不定式表目的,应该跟动词原形,剩下的动词只有explore,文中含义为逛商店.
点评 对于语法填空的题目要结合文章所描述的核心话题,认真研究不同空所考查的内容,利用所学的相关语法知识,合理运用相关内容并填入文中再反复检查,通读全文看是否通顺,尤其是要注意非谓语动词的考查,要熟练掌握相关用法.
