23、程。1which/that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导定语从句,补充完整是:classical dance form has only recently burst onto the world scene,所以该定语从句的先行词是“classical dance form”,指物,且从句中缺主语。故用which/that。2an 考查冠词。结合句意可知,此处指中国古典舞是一种要求极高、精致且传神的舞种。空格处表示“一种” ,是泛指,且空格后的“incredibly” 的读音以元音音素开头。故用 an。3known 考查非谓词动词。分析句子结构可知,本句有谓语动词“is” ,所
24、以此处应用非谓语动词;因为动词 know 与它修饰的名词“systems” 之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语,表示被动。故用 known。4Until 考查连词。根据语境可知,此处指直到最近,很少有外国人听说过中国的古典舞。until 意为“到为止” ,通常与完成时态搭配, until recently 意为“直到最近” ,符合语境。故用 Until。注意首字母大写。5what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知, “they had just seen”是“sure”之后的宾语从句,且从句中缺少宾语。故用 what。6was established 考查动词的时态和语态。动词 esta
25、blish 与“the Shen Yun Performing Arts Company”之间是被动关系;又因为本文都使用了一般过去时,因此空格处应用一般过去时的被动语态。故用 was established。7traditional 考查词性转换。结合句意可知,此处指它的宗旨是推广传统文化。此处应用形容词来修饰名词“culture” 。故用 traditional。8presenting 考查非谓语动词。include 后要接动名词作宾语。故用 presenting。9better 考查副词的比较级。根据语境可知,不到十年的时间,中国的古典舞已经被人们更好地认可并且影响到西方的芭蕾舞了。此处
26、 much 修饰副词 well 的比较级。故用 better。610stories 考查名词复数。story 是可数名词,其前没有冠词修饰,故应用其复数形式。故用 stories。 【导学号:33220181】.短文改错(2017山西名校联考)Dear Bob,Im sorry to tell you that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on this Sunday,because something unlucky happened to me in the PE class yesterday.I was playing basketbal

31、lewhen 考查连词。be doing.when.为固定句型,意为“正在做某事,突然” ,when 在此为并列连词,不能用 while 代替。故将 while 改为 when。第三处:highlyhigh 考查副词。highly 表示抽象意义“高度地” ;high 作副词时表示具体的“高” 。 “跳得高”应是表示具体的“高” 。故将 highly 改为 high。第四处:athe 考查冠词。 “动词(hit,strike,pull,take 等)sb.介词the表示身体某部位的名词”为固定结构,意为“拍/打/拽/抓住某人身体某个部位”。该结构中的 the 不可用形容词性物主代词或 a 代替。
32、故将 a 改为 the。第五处:thatwhich 考查定语从句。逗号后为非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面一整句话,应用 which 引导。that 不用于引导非限制性定语从句。故将 that 改为which。第六处:HoweverTherefore 考查连词。根据语境可知,上下两句之间应是因果关系,不是转折关系。故将 However 改为 Therefore。第七处:restedrest 考查时态。suggest 表示“建议”时,后面的宾语从句中的谓语应用 should do,should 可以省略。故将 rested 改为 rest。第八处:troublestrouble 考查名词。trouble 是不可数名词,意为“麻烦” 。前面有much 修饰,故将 troubles 改为 trouble。第九处:Iwe 考查代词。根据下文中的 We 可知,此处描述的人称不一致。故将 I 改为we。第十处:在 time 后加 to 考查固定搭配。have time to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“有时间做某事” 。故在 time 后加 to。
