解析:
【分析】
这是结合中国传统扇文化的语法填空题,解题时首先通读全文,明确文章主题是介绍扇子的发展历史与文化意义,整体时态以一般现在时、一般过去时为主。接下来逐个分析空格:首先判断空格在句中的成分,结合提示词的词性、上下文的逻辑关系、固定搭配规则推导答案:遇到动词先判断是作谓语还是非谓语,作谓语要结合时间判断时态语态,作非谓语要判断主被动关系;名词要考虑单复数、词性转换;介词、连词结合固定搭配和并列/逻辑关系推导,代词要判断物主代词的形式。
【解析】
1. 空格修饰名词country,country和call是逻辑上的被动关系,意为“被称作”,用过去分词called作后置定语,填called。
2. 主语Fans是复数名词,本句描述日常的客观事实,用一般现在时,be动词对应复数形式are,填are。
3. 搭配后面的ancient times,表达“在古代”的含义,用介词during,填during。
4. 固定搭配be made of表示“由……制成(可看出原材料)”,是被动语态结构,填made。
5. 时间状语是in the Song Dynasty(宋朝),属于过去的时间,谓语动词become要变为一般过去式became,填became。
6. 空格前后的mountains和rivers是并列的名词,表并列关系,用并列连词and,填and。
7. poem是可数名词,此处表示多位名人创作多首诗作,无单数冠词修饰,要变为复数形式poems,填poems。
8. 空格后and并列名词poems,说明空处要填名词作主语,paint对应的名词是painting(画作),此处指多幅作品,用复数paintings,填paintings。
9. 此处特指2008年北京奥运会上作为赠送给外宾礼品的折扇,用定冠词the表特指,填the。
10. 空格后是名词fans,需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词,they对应的形容词性物主代词是their,填their。
【答案】
1. called 2. are 3. during 4. made 5. became 6. and 7. poems 8. paintings 9. the 10. their
【知识点】
非谓语动词作定语,动词时态语态,词性转换
【点评】
本题将初中阶段核心的词法考点融入中国传统扇文化的语境中,既考察学生对基础语法规则的掌握程度,也能让学生了解传统文化相关的英语表达,考点覆盖全面,没有偏题怪题,解题时需要注意结合上下文的时间提示判断时态,区分词性转换的变形规则。
