课后作业
一、单句语法填空 用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。
1. There are _________(variety) ways of doing this.
2. He expressed his ____________(appreciate) for their help.
形容词性物主代词(his)后应接名词。
various
修饰名词ways前应用形容词。
appreciation
3. The campsite provided only_______ (base) facilities.
4. We seek to improve _________ (relate) between our
two countries.
及物动词improve后接名词作宾语；又因形容人、团体、国家之间的关系通常用复数，故填可数名词的复数形式relations。
修饰名词facilities应用形容词。
relations
basic
5. The library contains many popular __________(refer) books.
6. He gave an exact ____________(describe) of the pair
of pants that he lost.
此处是“a(n)+adj. +n. +of”结构，故填describe的名词形式description。
修饰名词books可用名词reference来修饰，意为“参考书籍”。
description
reference
7. The work is physically ____________(demand), and she is too weak to do it.
8. In the classic novel, many _________(classic) architectures are described.
系动词is后应接形容词作表语。
classical
demanding
修饰名词architectures应用形容词。classic和classical都是形容词，前者表示经典、 典型的，常常修饰 example/ music/ case/ ballet/ novel； 后者表示古典的，常常修饰architecture/ work/ scholar，故填classical。
9. We need to start thinking _________(globe), especially
in today’s rapidly changing world.
10. Many Chinese characters ______________________ (symbol) their meanings, unlike English words which are spelt out according to how they sound.
由后面的are可知本句时态为一般现在时，且主语Many Chinese characters为复数，与动词是主动关系，故填symbolise/symbolize。
修饰动词thinking应用副词。
symbolise/symbolize
globally
11. Remember __________(specific) your size when ordering clothes.
12. Her _______ (nation) language is Korean.
修饰名词language应用形容词。
因remember to do sth是固定搭配，意为“记得去做某事”。

本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与社会”的主题语境。本文主要讲述了主修语言学的在校生卢卡斯意外地发现了一枚刻着特殊符号的贝壳，通过调查，得知是甲骨文的变体。他提出了研究的申请并取得突破，他的研究成果引起了轰动。
1. D 选项：global全球的，全世界的；narrow狭窄的；native出生地的，本地的；specific特定的。由本句的“no matter how unfamiliar it is” 可知，他能用 “特定的(specific)”方法认出一种语言来，不论这种语言多么不常见。
2. C 选项：appreciated欣赏；begged恳求；discovered发现；buried埋葬。由本句“he 2 a shell with some totally strange 3 carved on it at a stall”及下文的“the symbols were…”可知，他在一个小摊上“发现(discovered)”了一个贝壳，上面刻着一些完全陌生的“符号”，symbols属于原词复现。
3. B 选项：pants裤子；symbols符号；affairs 事务；gaps缺口。见上题解析。
4. A 选项：investigation调查；calligraphy书法；delivery运送，演讲方式；summary总结。由本句的“he knew it was from a small village.”可知，基于他严谨的“调查(investigation)”，他知道这个贝壳是来自一个小村庄。
5. A 选项：referring to参考；applying for申请；sweeping away彻底消除；coming along跟随。由本句的“many related reference books”可知，“参考(referring to)”了很多相关的参考书。
6. D 选项：honored尊重；recommended推荐；employed利用；regarded把……视为。由本句的“as a variety of the writing system of Jiaguwen”和常识可知，这些符号被“认为(regarded)”是甲骨文书写体系的一种变体。
7. B 选项：extra额外的；serious严肃的；calm冷静的；suitable
合适的。上文提到这些符号被认为是追溯到公元前1500年前的甲
骨文书写体系的一种变体，又由本句“applied to his university for
afurther research by visiting the village”可知，卢卡斯对这个发现
有“严肃的(serious)”态度，他向他的大学申请了通过到那个村庄
去做更深入的研究。
8. C 选项：suffered遭受；learned学习；differed不同于；survived
生存。从本句的“He found the mother tongue of villagers was a
special dialect”可知，这种方言的词汇“不同于(differed from)”和
14亿人讲的普通话的词汇，前后比较。
9. D 选项：emergencies紧急事件；disasters灾难；crashes碰撞；challenges挑战。上文提到卢卡斯第一次来到这个小村庄，且村民
都说方言，以及由常识可知，掌握方言和做研究肯定是充满了很多
“挑战(challenges)”。
10. D 选项：supplied提供；destroyed破坏；tracked追踪；
published发表。空格前提到他完成了报告，由下文的“attracting
more people to these special characters”可知，报告被“发表
(published)”了。
11. C 选项：sheltered庇护；affected影响；created创造；damaged
损坏。由空后的“by a small nation in the Shang Dynasty”可知，这
些汉字是由商朝的一个小民族所“创造(created)”的。
12. B 选项：bricks砖；shells贝壳；apartments公寓；pipes管。由上文的“he 2 a shell”及“finding more shells helped him complete a report”可知，推断出这些文字是刻在骨头和“贝壳”上的，shell属于词语复现。
13. A 选项：struggling挣扎；erupting喷发；unifying统一；tapping轻叩。由本句的“Afterwards, the nation went through ups and downs, 13 for hundreds of years”可知，这个民族经历了兴衰沉浮，“挣扎(struggling)”了几百年。
14. C 选项：fluently流利地；positively积极地；finally最终地；extremely非常地。由本句的“But it 14 disappeared…”可知，这个民族经历了兴衰沉浮，挣扎了数百年，但是由于一些因素“最终(finally)”消失了。
15. B 选项：gas气体；hit轰动的事；subway地铁；champion冠军。由本句的“attracting more people to these special characters”和常识可知，卢卡斯的报告在学术界引起了“轰动(hit)”，吸引了更多的人关注这些特殊的汉字。

1. widely 考查词性转换。修饰动词known应用副词。
2. when 考查连词。引导定语从句并在从句中作时间状语，先行词是several thousand years ago，故填when。
3. varieties 考查名词单复数。因varieties of是固定搭配，意为“各种各样的”。
4. and 考查连词。句意：然而，秦始皇统一了七大国家，因此中国的书写系统开始向一个方向发展。由句意可知，两个句子之间是因果关系；又因下文有So，避免重复故填and。
5. writing 考查非谓语动词。介词in后接-ing形式作宾语。
6. its 考查代词。修饰名词past应用形容词性物主代词。
7. were written 考查被动语态。本句时态为一般过去时，且先行词the classic works是复数，与write是被动关系，故填were written。
8. an 考查冠词。修饰名词短语art form应用不定冠词，泛指“一种艺术形式”。又因art读音以元音开头，故用an。
9. as 考查介词。因be known as是固定搭配，意为“作为……而闻名”。
10. amazing 考查词性转换。修饰名词language应用形容词。
