【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项将昆曲和中国传统成语故事结合起来的计划,它使年轻的艺术家们致力于创作基于中国传统成语故事的原创戏剧,以保持昆曲传统的活力,同时让它以新的理念再次流行起来。
1. commander 【解析】根据空后的named Qi可知,设空处应用一个表身份的名词,commander意为“指挥官”,故填commander。
2. waiting 【解析】although引导的让步状语从句为there be句型,动词 wait与is之间无连词连接,应用非谓语形式;battle与wait之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故填waiting。
3. drunk 【解析】此处缺少形容词作gets的表语,故填drunk,意为“喝醉的”。
4. is attacked 【解析】and为连词,连接两个并列分句,设空处作谓语。 主语Qi’s army与attack之间是被动关系,且全文的整体时态为一般现在时,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,故填is attacked。
5. forms 【解析】句意:昆曲是中国传统戏曲形式中最古老的剧种之一,有大约600年的历史,集唱念做打于一体,用苏州方言表演。“one of + the +形容词最高级+可数名词复数”意为“最……的 . . . . . . 之一”,故填 forms。
6. combines 【解析】句意参见上一题解析。本句陈述的是客观事实,用一般现在时;此处作句子的谓语,主语是Kunqu Opera,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,故填combines。
7. which 【解析】句意:今年早些时候,一项将昆曲和中国传统成语故事结合起来的项目出台了,这将使中国的年轻导演和昆曲演员一起工作。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,关系词指代上文整个主句内容,故填which。
8. to work 【解析】句意参见上一题解析。allow sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“允许某人做某事”,故填to work。
9. the 【解析】句意:年轻的艺术家们正致力于创作基于中国传统成语故事的原创戏剧,以保持传统的活力,同时让它以新的理念再次流行起来。此处特指“昆曲的传统”,用定冠词,故填the。
10. with【解析】分析句子结构可知此处用“with +名词”作状语,表示“以,用”,故填with。
