【分析】
这是一篇短文语法填空题,解题时首先通读全文,明确文章主旨是介绍中国的两座古都南京和洛阳,之后分两类情况处理空格:第一类是给出括号提示词的空格,先判断空格处所需的词性,再结合固定搭配、名词单复数、非谓语规则、形容词变形、代词格的变化等规则完成变形;第二类是未给出提示词的空格,结合语境逻辑判断需要的介词、冠词、连词等虚词,匹配常用固定搭配即可推导答案,顺着这个思路逐个验证每个空的逻辑就能顺利得出结果。
【解析】
1. 第一空:固定搭配the lower reaches of the Yangtze River表示“长江下游”,reach表示河段、区域时常用复数形式,因此填reaches。
2. 第二空:形容词tourist后需要修饰名词,attract的名词形式是attraction,tourist attraction是固定短语“旅游景点”,因此填attraction。
3. 第三空:此处要表达“拥有600多年历史的城墙”,用介词with表伴随属性,意为“带有、具有”,因此填with。
4. 第四空:形容词good后需要修饰名词,动词choose的名词形式是choice,意为“选择”,a good choice表示“一个好选择”,因此填choice。
5. 第五空:固定搭配be worth a visit表示“值得一游”,此处visit是可数名词,前面加不定冠词a,因此填a。
6. 第六空:句意为“它对自然爱好者来说非常合适”,lover意为爱好者,此处泛指爱好者这一群体,要用复数形式lovers,因此填lovers。
7. 第七空:painters(画家)和poets(诗人)是并列的两类主体,用并列连词and连接,因此填and。
8. 第八空:固定搭配be sure to do sth. 表示“一定要做某事”,此处要用不定式结构,因此填to make。
9. 第九空:此处修饰名词waterfalls(瀑布),修饰事物表示“令人惊叹的”,要使用amaze的-ing形式形容词amazing,因此填amazing。
10. 第十空:动词miss后面需要用人称代词的宾格作宾语,they的宾格形式是them,因此填them。
【答案】
1. reaches 2. attraction 3. with 4. choice 5. a 6. lovers 7. and 8. to make 9. amazing 10. them
【知识点】
语法填空,固定搭配,词形转换
【点评】
本题整体考察初中阶段核心的英语基础知识点,大部分空格都对应课内常见的固定短语,只要掌握词性判断的基本方法、积累常见搭配就能顺利解题,易错点是第一空的reaches复数用法、第五空的不定冠词a的填写,需要学生注意细节区分特殊用法。
