Question

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasn’t far from Chinatown, 【1】 I found some very good Chinese restaurants.

That was the first time that I 【2】 (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food. When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why 【3】 has this special feature.

Many years ago, china had 【4】 energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests. This 【5】(lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their 【6】 (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There weren’t any substitutes so people found ways to economize.

In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables 【7】 small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked 【8】 (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food 【9】 (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavor--- and it’s this flavor 【10】 attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】where

【2】had noticed

【3】it

【4】an

【5】loss

【6】valuable

【7】into

【8】faster

【9】prepared

【10】that

【解析】

这篇文章主要讲述了中国食物为什么美味。作者的工作地点离唐人街很近，当他第一次吃中国食物时就喜欢上了。在5000年前，由于中国的木柴缺乏，人们为了节约木柴，就把食物切成小块烹饪，食物很快就熟了，而且保持了鲜美的味道。

【1】where 此处Chinatown做先行词，在后面的非限制性定语从句中做地点状语，故填where。

【2】had noticed 在That was the first time that---句型中，前面是was，所以从句中用过去完成时态，故填had noticed。

【3】it 此处用it指代前面的the food。

【4】an energy以元音开头，“很多年前中国有一个能源危机”，故填an。

【5】loss 根据句意可知此处缺主语，所以应该用名词形式，故填loss。

【6】valuable 形容词修饰名词，故填valuable有价值的。

【7】into 句意：把肉和蔬菜切成小块。根据句意可知填into。

【8】faster 根据后面的more，可知此处用比较级，故填faster。

【9】prepared 此处是过去分词作后置定语，故填prepared。

【10】that 此处时强调句型，故填that。
