Answer 1

【答案】

 

1.from

2.It

3.but

4.why

5.to

6.much

7.for

8.Thus/Therefore

【解析】

试题分析：在中国，尽管使用同样的汉字，但是人们的发音却不尽相同，因此人们之间用方言的交流会产生障碍。直到有了普通话的普及，人们的沟通才变得顺畅无阻。可是北欧地区的人们却幸运的多，他们的语言基本相似，因此人们都可以用母语沟通。

1.考查介词。根据from Shanghai可知此处是指来自广东的人，所以填from。

2.考查固定句式。It is likely that …是固定句型“有可能……”，答案填It。

3.考查连词。根据前面的the same set of character和后面的different pronunciations可知前后是转折关系，意思是“中国语言使用相同的汉字，但是即使是相同的汉字也可能会有不同的发音。”答案填but。

4.考查连词。上文提到不同地方的人们发音不同，后面讲 it is difficult for people to understand each other.，由此可知此处是指人们发音不同所造成的结果，因此填why，句型That is why…“那就是为什么……”。

5.考查介词。固定短语made a great contribution to “为……做出贡献”。

6.考查副词。根据下文可知此处指北欧的人们很幸运，修饰比较级luckier可以用much。

7.考查介词。固定句型：it is convenient for sb to do sth“对某人来说做某事是很方便的”，所以填for。

8.考查副词。根据语境可知北欧地区的人们语言基本相似，因此，他们能很容易地用母语进行交流，所以此空填表示因果关系的Thus或者Therefore。

考点：考查学生对语法知识及语境的理解。
