分析 短文主要对作家Francis Scott Fitzgerald进行了介绍.
解答 21.a,考查冠词,此处failure指"失败的事或人",是可数名词,表示泛指前使用不定冠词a.
22.greatest,考查最高级,one of+最高级,表示"最…之一".
23.was considered,考查时态和语态,由前面was recognized可知使用一般过去时,consider 与主语构成被动的关系,故使用被动语态be done的形式.
24.quitted/quit,考查时态,句子描述的是过去的事件,因此使用一般过去时.
25.which,考查定语从句,句子先行词an event,引导定语从句使用which.
26.and,考查连词,此处指并列的关系,使用and连接.
27.published,考查非谓语,publish与主语the novel构成被动的关系,因此使用过去分词.
点评 对于语法填空这类题,一是懂得分析句子结构,二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性,从语法上确定答案,当然,对于某些固定搭配也要牢记,在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语,对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定.
