【分析】
这道题是英语综合填空题,解题时首先通读全文,明确文章围绕作者阅读《再会,老北京》的感悟展开,理清整体时态和语境逻辑后,分两类空逐一推导:1. 有给出提示词的空,先判断该空在句中充当的成分,结合词性转换规则、时态语态、固定搭配的变形要求推导正确形式;2. 没有提示词的空,结合固定短语搭配、冠词/介词的使用规则,同时匹配上下文语义选出合适词汇。每一步推导完成后还要代入句子通读,验证语义和语法是否通顺。
【解析】
1. 空处修饰整个现在完成时的句子,需要用副词作时间状语,将提示词形容词recent变为副词recently。
2. 句中as soon as引导时间状语从句,主句谓语caught为一般过去时,从句动作和主句动作几乎同时发生,因此将提示词step变为一般过去式stepped。
3. 此处是固定结构"one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数",表示"最……之一",将提示词old变为最高级oldest。
4. 此处特指北京的中心区域,"the heart of..."是固定特指表达,填定冠词the。
5. 此处是固定短语in the face of,意为"面对",符合语境"在快速变化面前老北京部分文化依然保留完好",填介词of。
6. 短语be full of后接名词作宾语,将提示词形容词creative变为名词creativity,意为"创造力"。
7. 句中feel是系动词,后接形容词作表语,将提示词名词hope变为形容词hopeful,意为"充满希望的"。
8. 时间状语these years是现在完成时的典型标志,主语The quality of people's life是单数概念,因此谓语用现在完成时has improved。
9. 句意为"我通过Meyer的视角了解到老街区里那些日常生活的小事",表示"凭借、通过(某人的视角)"填介词through。
10. 此处是使役动词make的固定搭配make sb. do sth.,意为"让某人做某事",后面接动词原形,因此提示词think用原形即可。
【答案】
1. recently 2. stepped 3. oldest 4. the 5. of
6. creativity 7. hopeful 8. has improved 9. through 10. think
