题目内容
8.Westminster Abbey,the gothic church,stands in the heart of modern London overlooking the River Thames and Houses of Parliament.It started as a small monastery(修道院),(33)founded (found) in the year 960by King Edgar,but soon became one of the most important churches in the kingdom.King Edgar was the first monarch(34)to be buried (bury) there in 1065.In the mid 13th Century,King Henry III decided to rebuild it as a great gothic cathedral to rival(与…相匹敌)(35)those in France.
All monarchs have been crowned there(36)since William the Conqueror in 1066,and many monarchs have married in the Abbey,(37)most recently(recently) Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
But Westminster Abbey isn't just about royalty.Many of the greatest people in British history are buried or commemorated there-artists,scientists,thinkers-there isn't even a"poet's corner"built up(38)around the grave of 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
Westminster Abbey tells the story of ordinary British people too.Parts of the Abbey were destroyed in booming raids(空袭)during World War II(39)but services went on throughout the war.On May 8,1945,the V-E(Victory in Europe)Day,a thanksgiving service was held there.Westminster Abbey stood for courage and British spirit.
(40)Even if/Even though you are not a Christian,it is impossible not to feel a sense of something otherworldly(超脱尘俗地) when you enter Westminster Abbey-and that goes for tourists,ordinary Londoners,or students getting ready for another Friday at school.
分析 文章大意:本文主要介绍了哥特式教堂--Westminster Abbey.
解答 33.founded.考查非谓语作定语的用法.有"被建造"的含义,故使用过去分词表被动态.
34.to be buried.考查非谓语动词.不要忘了固定表达方式"the first/second…to do sth.".又因为是"被埋葬",所以使用被动态.
35.those.考查代词,意为"与法国那些相匹敌的大教堂".
36.since.考查连词.看到后面的时间点和主句的现在完成时时态,考生应如条件反射似地想到连词since.
37.most recently.考查副词最高级.看到提示词是副词切勿改变其词性,如改成形容词等.只需改比较级或最高级.此处根据上下文意,意为"最近,刚刚".
38.around.考查介词,意为在坟墓周围.
39.but.考查转折连词.状语从句里没有合适的,别忘了并列连词哦.
40.even if/even though.考查连词.两格的连接词很有限,我们昂立的高考课程上都给大家归纳过.这里填入让步状语从句连词最合适.
点评 这篇语法填空题对考生的词汇量及背景知识提出了较高的要求.没有背景知识的同学会越看越头疼,进而可能影响做题正确率.所以考生平时要注意积累.
