5、作者最喜欢的是“国宝”大熊猫。1attraction 考查名词的用法。空格前有形容 词和物主代 词，因此要用其名 词形式。2was allowed 考查动词时态 。根据语境及 allow sb to do sth 这一固定句式可知，此 处要用一般过去时的被动语态形式。3officially 考 查副词的用法。修饰谓语动词应当用副词 形式。 4to 考查固定短语。go back to 为固定短语，意思是“ 回到，追溯到”。5when 考查 副词的用法。由句子结构可以判断这是一个定语从句，先行词是表示时间的 in the mid 1980s，从句中缺少状 语，因此填写关系副词 when。6perm
6、itted 考查定语从句关系副词的用法。因 为句中已有谓语动词 was，故此 处要用非谓语动词形式。因 permit 与 reporter 为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词。7introducing 考查动名词的用法。由句子结构可知，introduce 作谓语动词 include 的宾语。而 British visitors 是 introduce 这一动作的承受者。故用动名词形式。8its 考查物主代词的用法。根据空格后的名词及前文中的 a lively threemonthold twin 可知要用形容词性物主代词。9days 考查名词复数。few 用来修饰可数名词复数，故答案为 day
7、s。10the 考查固定搭配中冠词的用法。由前文中的关 键词 twin, one 可知这里考查 one.the other.(一个另一个)的用法。故答案 为 the。二、完形填空阅读下面短文，掌握其大意， 然后从 21-40 各题所给的四个 选项（A、B 、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。Im sitting in a quiet room at the Millcroft Hotel，a peaceful place hidden back among pine trees about an hour out of Toronto.
