【分析】
这是一篇介绍中国传统节气谷雨的说明文语法填空题,解题时首先通读全文,明确文章介绍客观节气常识,整体时态以一般现在时为主。接下来分两类处理空格:第一类是给出提示词的空格,需要结合句子成分判断所需词性,再进行词形转换、时态/非谓语/比较级等变形;第二类是无提示词的空格,结合上下文逻辑和固定搭配,判断需要填入的冠词、介词、连词等虚词,同时结合节气相关文化常识辅助理解句意。
【解析】
1. 考查一般现在时。句意:随着天气变得更暖,降雨量增加。主语the weather是第三人称单数,文章介绍客观事实用一般现在时,因此谓语动词become变为三单形式becomes。
2. 考查词性转换。句意:这对农作物的生长有好处。空格前是名词所有格crops',后面需要接名词作宾语,动词grow的名词形式为growth。
3. 考查固定搭配。句意:农民们在田里忙碌劳作,希望秋天能有个好收成。固定搭配in the hope of表示“怀着……的希望”,因此填定冠词the。
4. 考查词性转换。句意:除了农业之外,谷雨也和我们的传统文化有关。空格后是名词culture,需要用形容词作定语修饰名词,名词tradition的形容词形式是traditional。
5. 考查名词所有格。句意:谷雨标志着渔民们一年里第一次长途出海的开始。此处表示“渔民群体的”,要用复数名词所有格,fisherman的复数是fishermen,所有格形式为fishermen's。
6. 考查固定搭配。句意:那时人们相信神明会保护他们免受暴风雨大海的伤害。固定搭配protect sb. from sth.表示“保护某人免受……的伤害”,因此填介词from。
7. 考查连词。句意:在中国南方谷雨期间人们喜欢喝茶,因为此时的春茶含有大量维生素和氨基酸。后半句是解释前半句人们喜欢喝茶的原因,因此填原因状语从句连词because。
8. 考查词性转换。句意:它们能快速起到给身体降温的作用。空格处需要修饰动词短语cool our bodies off,要用副词形式,形容词quick的副词是quickly。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意:人们也相信在这天喝茶能设法赶走厄运。固定搭配manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”,因此填to drive。
10. 考查形容词比较级。句意:它能帮助让我们的身体更健康更强壮。空格后有并列连词and连接比较级stronger,因此此处要填healthy的比较级形式healthier,构成并列结构。
