这是一篇结合中国传统扇文化的语法填空题,解题思路如下:首先通读全文,明确文章核心是介绍中国扇子的发展历史与文化意义,整体时态涵盖一般现在时和一般过去时。接下来逐个推导空格:
1. 第一空修饰名词country,country和call是被动逻辑关系,需要用过去分词作后置定语;
2. 第二空描述当下扇子在日常生活随处可见的客观事实,主语是复数名词fans,匹配对应的一般现在时be动词形式;
3. 第三空搭配后面的ancient times,选用表示“在…期间”的固定介词构成常用搭配;
4. 第四空对应固定搭配be made of,表示“由……制成”,用被动结构的过去分词;
5. 第五空时间状语是宋代,属于过去的时间节点,谓语动词要变为一般过去式;
6. 第六空前后的mountains和rivers是并列名词,需要填并列连词衔接;
7. 第七空poem是可数名词,此处指代多位名人创作的多首诗歌,要变为复数形式;
8. 第八空和后面的poems并列,需要把动词paint变为表示“画作”的可数名词,且用复数形式;
9. 第九空特指2008北京奥运会作为赠礼的折扇,填定冠词限定特指对象;
10. 第十空后面是名词fans,需要把人称代词they变为形容词性物主代词,用来修饰名词。
【解析】
1. 空1:country和call是逻辑被动关系,用过去分词called作后置定语,表“被称作扇子王国的国家”,故填called。
2. 空2:描述客观事实用一般现在时,主语Fans是复数,be动词对应形式为are,故填are。
3. 空3:固定搭配in/during ancient times意为“在古代”,是常用表达,故填in/during。
4. 空4:固定短语be made of表示“由……制成(可直接看出原材料)”,被动结构中用过去分词made,故填made。
5. 空5:时间状语the Song Dynasty是过去的时间,谓语动词become的过去式为became,故填became。
6. 空6:mountains和rivers是并列的两类事物,用并列连词and连接,故填and。
7. 空7:poem是可数名词,多位名人创作的诗歌不止一首,用复数形式poems,故填poems。
8. 空8:and和后文的poems构成并列结构,此处要填表示“画作”的名词,paint对应的名词painting用复数paintings,故填paintings。
9. 空9:此处特指2008北京奥运会上作为礼品的折扇,用定冠词the表特指,故填the。
10. 空10:后面是名词fans,需要用they的形容词性物主代词their修饰名词,故填their。
