18.Walking down the city streets,you look up and see a red telephone box.Behind it,on the road,a big red double-decker bus passes by,(61)carrying (carry) citizens and tourists.This is London.And the red bus has been a long-standing symbol of the city.In London,buses take(62)on a bigger role.They are used(63)to tour (tour) the city.Red tourist buses have open roofs,(64)which let people take many(65)photos (photo) as they drive past Big Ben,the Thames,the London Eye,and so on.
But how did the bus become u
nique to London culture?(66)since 1829horse-drawn buses have been used in London.During the early 20th century,motor-buses(67)ran/were running (run) around London.Bus companies used different colors at the time.The(68)biggest (big) company chose red.So the color red stayed in London.But it was during the mid-1950s(69)that the red double-decker was born.Its name is the Route Master.All of them(70)were built(build) between 1954and 1968.That is why they still look traditional,as if they were frozen in time.
分析 红色电话亭 作者在本文中介绍了伦敦一个长期存在的城市的象征--红色双层巴士.这种巴士车顶开放着,便于游客在通过大本钟,泰晤士河,伦敦眼等旅游景点时拍照.早在1829年伦敦就已经出现了马拉汽车,到了20世纪公共汽车出现了,但在那时汽车公司使用不同的颜色,最大的公司选择了红色,所以红色就停留在了伦敦.但是到了20世纪五十年代红色双层巴士才诞生.
解答 61.carrying;考查分词作状语,double-decker bus 与动词 carry存在逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语.
62.on;考查介词,take on是固定短语,此处意为"承担(角色)".
63.to tour;考查动词不定式,这里不定式作状语,表示目的.
64.which;考查关系代词,分析句子结构这是一个非限制性定语从句,用which指代前文讲到的 Red tourist buses have open roofs这句话.
65.photos;考查名词复数,photo作为"照片讲是可数名词,前面有满意修饰,故用复数形式photos.
66.Since;考查介词,结合语境分析句意为"自从1829年伦敦就已经出现了马拉汽车",since后跟一个时间点用于现在完成时,所以空格处填Since.
67.ran/were running;考查句子时态,分析句子结构可知本句缺少谓语成分,又因时间状语During the early 20th century 为过去的时间,所以用ran/were running作句子的谓语.
68.biggest;考查形容词的最高级,结合上下文分析,句意应为"汽车公司使用不同的颜色,最大的公司选择了红色",所以此处用形容词的最高级.
69.that;考查强调句,这是一个"It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他成分"结构的强调句型,故此处要用that.
70.were built考查被动语态,句子的主语All of them指代前面的the red double-decker,与动词build是被动关系,故用被动语态were built.
