原文填空答案解析
(一)
1.were made,首先,products 和make之间存在被动关系,因而此处应用被动语态,同时,those products?were made?in those countries这个句子做think的宾语,当主句为一般过去时,从句也只能用表示过去的时态。
2.However,根据上下文语境,“你或许认为这些东西产于哪些国家”和“你可能错了”之间存在意义上的转折关系。
3.it,此处主要考查固定句型“find it +adj. + that从句”其中,it是形式宾语,that引导的从句是真正的宾语,“发现或认为做某事具有某种性质或特征”。
4.made,be made in...为固定短语,意为“生产于....”。
5.before,原文的意思“在我访问了五六个商店之后,我才找到了一双在美国制造的鞋子。”这里的“before”引导的是一个时间状语从句,表示在某个动作发生之前的情况。
6.buying,avoid doing...“避免做...”。
7.continues,根据上文explains得知。
8.at,be good at...=do well in,意为“特长(擅长)做...”
(二)
1.traditional, art “艺术”,名词,名词前常用冠词、形容词行物主代词、数词和形容词等修饰、限定。
2.important,此处考查形容词做表语,意为“这些(传统艺术)通常设法生活中诸如爱、美好和家人等表达出来”。
3.into “turn into...,变成...”。
4.to ask,此处考查动词不定式表目的的用法,诸葛孔明发送孔明灯的目的就是在困难时求救。
5. are used, 灯笼和使用之间存在被动关系。
6.are made,be made of...和be made from都表示“由...构成(组成)”,前者指进通过物理变化形成的,可以看见原材料,后者则主要指经过化学变化后形成的,看不到原材料,比如纸张是由树木构成的“Paper is made from trees.”。
7.are lit,灯笼和点燃之间存在被动关系。
8.are seen,他们(灯笼)和看见之间存在被动关系。
9.has been,根据句末时间状语“for over 1,500 years”判定。注意,for+一段时间“已有...了”,句中谓语动词常用延续动词的现在完成时,即“have/has+过去分词”;in+一段时间,句中谓语动词常用一般将来时,即“will+动词原形”。
10.sounds。
11.is folded,纸张和折叠之间存在被动关系。
12.are put,他们(剪纸)纸张和张贴到窗户上之间存在被动关系。
13.that,此处主要考查句型“so+adj.+that,如此...,以致于....”
14.drying,after“在...之后”和before“在...以前”用法一样,都可以接动名词,即动词-ing形式。
15.are added,比如木头和纸张原材料和添加到之间存在被动关系。
16.that,原句意为“这些小陶瓷作品展示了中国人对于生活和美的热爱”,其中all Chinese people have 修饰的是love,即:在定语从句中,当先行词为物时,关系代词用that.
