Ⅱ.语法填空

(2016·郑州二模)

Near the town of Montignac in Southern France, visitors can find some of the most beautiful cave paintings in the world—the Lascaux Cave Paintings(拉斯科

洞窟壁画)．

The history of these paintings is very interesting.Most caves are formed 1 nature under the ground, but some have entrances people can find.That's just what happened one day in 1940.Four boys were taking 2 walk in the woods near

Montignac.As they walked along, one of them noticed an unusual rock. 3 they got closer, they found it wasn't a rock but an opening in the ground.This opening led to a cave, so they decided to have a look around it.The walls of the cave were 4 (cover) with ancient art.The boys didn't know it, but the cave was the find

of the century!

Over the years, many historians and artists came to study the art. They wanted

to understand who painted the pictures and 5 they might mean.They soon realized some of the art indicated animals that were on earth a long time ago.Many

of the pictures also showed people 6 (follow) animals and trying to kill them for food.In the end, historians agreed that this was likely to be the art

of a civilization that existed over 15，000 years ago.

By 1950, over a thousand people from all over the world were visiting the cave every day. But by 1955, the paintings were beginning to become difficult 7 (see)．Many people were passing through the cave, so the paintings were losing their color. 8 (sad), people can no longer visit the cave.However, another set of cave paintings has been created.These paintings look exactly the same 9 the Lascaux Cave Paintings.People 10 (make) the paintings so that everyone can still learn about this great ancient civilization.

本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了拉斯科洞窟壁画的发现过程、意义及其目前的情况。

1．by[考查介词的用法。根据语境可知，大多数洞穴是由地下自然力量的作用而形成的。分析句子成分可知，本句的谓语动词使用了被动语态，且空格后的内容为洞穴形成的方式，故此处应用by。]

2．a[考查冠词的用法。take a walk为固定短语，意为“去散步”，符合语境。故

填a。]

3．When/As[考查状语从句。根据语境可知，当那四名男孩离那个“不同寻常的石块”

更近一些的时候，他们发现那并不是一块石头。所以此处应用when或as引导这个时间状语

从句。故填When/As。]

4．covered[考查动词的语态。分析句子逻辑关系可知，句子的主语“The walls of the cave”和动词cover之间是动宾关系，故用be done形式表被动；根据空格前的be动词“were”可知，此处应用cover的过去分词形式。故填covered。]

5．what[考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句，且引导词在这个

宾语从句中作动词“mean”的宾语，意为“什么”，故用what引导该从句。故填what。] 6．(were)following[考查动词的时态或非谓语动词。对于本句有两种理解，一是将“people”看作是“showed”的宾语，那么此处考查的就是非谓语动词作后置定语，因为

“people”和follow之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，所以此处应用follow的现在分词形式following，与本句中的“trying”是并列关系；二是将“people (follow)animals and trying to kill them for food”看作是一个宾语从句，那么此处考查的就是动词的时态，语境表示，那些壁画展示的是人们正在追逐动物，想把它们杀掉吃了，应用过去进行时were following。故填(were)following。]

7．to see[考查非谓语动词。“be动词/系动词＋adj.＋to do”为固定用法，此处表示这些画作开始变得很难看清。故填to see。]

8．Sadly[考查词性转化。根据词法知识可知，此处应用sad的副词形式sadly修饰整个句子。故填Sadly。]

9．as[考查固定短语。the same as为固定短语，意为“与……一样”，符合语境。] 10．(have)made[考查动词的时态。分析句子可知，“人们制作这些绘画”是过去发生的动作，所以此处应用一般过去时；如果强调这一动作对现在造成了影响，此处也可以用现在完成时。故填(have)made。] 【导学号：90892089】

语法填空题专项训练 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 1 When you start talking about good and bad manners you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree to 1they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person by the way they occupied the space around them —for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is 2(constant) aware of others. Such people never bump into other people. However, a 3(two) person thought that this was 4(much) a question of civilized behavior than good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story, which he said was quite well known, 5an American who 6(invite) to an Arab meal in one of the countries of the Middle East. The American hadn’t been told very much about the kind of food he might expect. If he had known about Arab food, he might have behaved 7 (good). Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much like a napkin (餐巾). 8(pick) it up, he put it into his collar, so that it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, 9had been watching, said nothing, but 10(immediate) copied the action of his guest. And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners. 2 There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere. We can see a lot of people sleeping on the bus or train on their way home 1work in the evening. A man will be reading the newspaper, and seconds later it appears as if he is trying to eat it. Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger sitting next to him. Another place where unplanned short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall 2 a student will start snoring so loudly that the professor has to ask another student 3(shake) the sleeper awake. A more 4(embarrass) situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and 5weight of the head pushes the arm off the desk, and the movement carries the rest of the body along.
