④考查定语从句。句意:"china"这个词实际上是Changnan的音译,Changnan是中国瓷器之都的一个古老名字,欧洲人从那里进口了大量瓷器,最初被称为"白金"。分析句子结构可知,本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是Chinese porcelain capital,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which/ that引导。故填which/ that。

33.答案:to build;which;to;was established;departments;conducting;should be taken/be taken;cultural;a;it
解析:①考查非谓语动词。句意:20世纪50年代,埃及政府希望在尼罗河上修建一座新大坝,这引发了抗议。want to do sth.意为"想要做某事",用build"建设"的不定式作宾语。故填to build。
②考查定语从句。句意:20世纪50年代,埃及政府希望在尼罗河上修建一座新大坝,这引发了抗议。分析句子结构,空处引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
③考查介词。句意:面对这一巨大挑战,政府不得不求助于联合国。turn to...for help为固定搭配,意为"向……求助"。故填to。
④考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意:为了防止文物流失,成立了一个委员会。根据上下文时态,这里陈述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。主语A committee和动词establish"成立"之间是动宾关系,所以应用一般过去时被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was。故填was established。
⑤考查名词的数。句意:他们要求不同部门捐款,并在国际社会内筹集资金。department意为"部门",为可数名词,且其前有different修饰,所以应用名词复数,作from的宾语。故填departments。
⑥考查非谓语动词。句意:在调查了这个问题并进行了几次测试后,他们提出了一个建议,即将寺庙和其他文化遗址一块一块地拆除,然后将它们移到一个远离水的安全地方,重新拼凑起来。空处应用conduct"实施"的动名词形式,作介词After的宾语。故填conducting。
⑦考查虚拟语气和语态。句意:在调查了这个问题并进行了几次测试后,他们提出了一个建议,即将寺庙和其他文化遗址一块一块地拆除,然后将它们移到一个远离水的安全地方,重新拼凑起来。that引导同位语从句对名词proposal"建议"进行解释说明,从句应用虚拟语气,谓语动词用"should+动词原形"的形式,should可以省略。主语temples and other cultural sites和take down之间是动宾关系,所以应用被动语态。故填should be taken或be taken。
⑧考查形容词。句意:在接下来的20年里,数千名工程师和工人拯救了22座寺庙和无数文物,50个国家向该项目捐赠了近8000万美元。空处应用形容词cultural"文化的",作定语,修饰空后的relics。故填cultural。
⑨考查冠词。句意:该项目取得了巨大成功,并证明了巨大的挑战有时会带来伟大的解决方案。success在这里表示"成功的事物"是可数名词,表泛指,且great的发音以辅音音素开头,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
⑩考查it作形式主语。句意:这些国家了解到,他们有可能共同努力,建设一个更美好的明天。it is possible for sb. to do sth.意为"对某人来说做某事是可能的",为固定句型,it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正主语。故填it。
