本周,我們一起看一篇語(yǔ)法填空,來(lái)自于2017年全國(guó)卷Ⅱ。
原題各位可自行用搜索引擎查找,剔除對(duì)做題無(wú)用的廢話,我們將此題拆分成單句填空,如下:
In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible __61__ (crowd) on the roads above as they travelled to and ___62__ the world.
This included digging up the road, ____63___ (lay) the track and then building a strong roof over___64___ top.
Steam engines ___65__ (use) to pull the carriages and it must have been___66__ (fair) unpleasant for the passengers.
the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using___67__ every day.
Later, engineers ____68___(manage) to construct railways.
This development was only possible with the ___69___ (introduce) .
The central London Railway was one of the most ___70___(success) of these new lines.
語(yǔ)法填空第一句一般不設(shè)空,一定要認(rèn)真看:In 1863 the first underground passenger railway in the world opened in London. 在1863年,世界上第一座地鐵在倫敦開通。
即便有的同學(xué)拿不準(zhǔn)underground passenger railway是啥意思,railway總該認(rèn)識(shí)吧,把它當(dāng)成鐵路也不影響做題。
說(shuō)明文體裁沒變,還是熟悉的配方和味道。
It ran for just under seven kilometers and allowed people to avoid terrible __61__ (crowd) on the roads above as they travelled to and ___62__ the world. 這句有些長(zhǎng),一上來(lái)就是兩個(gè)空密集出現(xiàn),不少同學(xué)略蒙圈。別急,我們縷縷。
不一定要把句子完全看懂才能做對(duì)題,語(yǔ)法填空不是考英譯漢!
第61個(gè)空,terrible是個(gè)形容詞,那么后面再跟其他東西時(shí),只能跟名詞,crowd當(dāng)動(dòng)詞意思是聚集,當(dāng)名詞時(shí)意思是人群,這個(gè)空在形容詞terrible后,crowd這時(shí)只能是名詞。馬路上的人一般都是三五成群,也就是說(shuō),人群這個(gè)詞,是有復(fù)數(shù)的。再者,后面as引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,其中的主語(yǔ)they,指代61空中一群群的人,再次驗(yàn)證本空應(yīng)填crowd的復(fù)數(shù)形式。根據(jù)名詞單數(shù)變復(fù)數(shù)規(guī)則,第61個(gè)空答案為crowds.
第62空沒有提示詞,填虛詞,這里有個(gè)省略現(xiàn)象,把狀從補(bǔ)充完整:they travelled to (the world) and (they travelled)___62__ the world,表示行人上下班的來(lái)來(lái)往往,to跟from搭配,天衣無(wú)縫。這就是答案。
第63空,This included digging up the road, ____63___ (lay) the track and then building a strong roof over___64___ top. 還是一句兩空,別懵,縷就是了:digging up the road為動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ),做included的賓語(yǔ),and then后的building a strong roof跟digging up the road形式功能一致,由此推斷,第63空也應(yīng)為動(dòng)詞ing形式短語(yǔ),同樣做included的賓語(yǔ)。因此第63空答案為laying.
第64空沒有提示詞,填虛詞,這里特指地鐵的頂部,表特指時(shí)只能填定冠詞the. 因此第64空答案為the.
繼續(xù)。
第65空,Steam engines ___65__ (use) to pull the carriages,看到這里已足夠,主語(yǔ)Steam engines是復(fù)數(shù),use為動(dòng)詞,緊跟主語(yǔ),那么它就是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞了,Steam engines只能被使用,是復(fù)數(shù),且根據(jù)文章第一句,本文內(nèi)容為地鐵的修建歷史,本空應(yīng)填一般過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。因此第65空答案為were used.
第66空,it must have been___66__ (fair) unpleasant for the passengers, 根據(jù)un是個(gè)單詞前綴,用在形容詞前表否定可知,unpleasant是個(gè)形容詞。根據(jù)副詞才能修飾形容詞的規(guī)定,第66空答案為fairly.
第67空,the railway quickly proved to be a great success and within six months, more than 25,000 people were using___67__ every day. 本空沒有提示詞,仍然只能填虛詞,逗號(hào)前半部分主語(yǔ)為the railway,more than 25,000 people為逗號(hào)后句子的主語(yǔ),were using是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,本句缺賓語(yǔ)且應(yīng)填指代the railway的詞。因此第67空答案為it.
第68空,engineers ____68___(manage) to construct railways...本句主語(yǔ)為engineers,是個(gè)復(fù)數(shù)名詞,manage緊跟在主語(yǔ)后做謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,本文內(nèi)容為地鐵的修建歷史。因此第68空答案為managed.
第69空,This development was only possible with the ___69___ (introduce)...,空前的定冠詞the提示的很明顯了:本空應(yīng)填introduce的名詞形式,因此第69空答案為introduction.
第70空,The central London Railway was one of the most ___70___(success) of these new lines,其中one of the后跟形容詞最高級(jí)再加可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù),構(gòu)成最...的...之一句型,successful是個(gè)多音節(jié)形容詞,最高級(jí)形式為most加原級(jí)。因此第70空答案為successful.
至此,十個(gè)空都已填出。
總結(jié):本題難度中等,雖然句子略長(zhǎng),但其實(shí)只是紙老虎,靜下心來(lái),分析透徹空前空后的“題眼”,同學(xué)們拿到滿分,沒什么問(wèn)題的。
