Question

20．My interest in Chinese food started years ago，when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post．Our office wasn't far from Chinatown，（81）where   I found some very good Chinese restaurants．
That was the first time that I  （82）had noticed   （notice） the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food．
When I learned more about the food，I began to understand why  （83）ithas this special feature．
Many years ago，china had   （84）an   energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to over population and poor management of its forests．This  （85）loss（lose） was very bad for the country，of course，but it turned out to be very good for the food．Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their  （86）valuable  （value） wood，or learn how to use it better．There weren't any substitutes so people found ways to
economize．
In order to economize in cooking，they had to use very little wood．So they started cutting their meat and vegetables  （87）into  small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked  （88）faster  （fast） and they saved more fuel．The food  （89）prepared（prepare） in this way kept its fresh flavor---and it's this flavor   （90）that   attracts  people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking．

Answer 1

分析 這篇文章主要講述了中國食物為什么美味．作者的工作地點離唐人街很近，當(dāng)他第一次吃中國食物時就喜歡上了．在5000年前，由于中國的木柴缺乏，人們?yōu)榱斯?jié)約木柴，就把食物切成小塊烹飪，食物很快就熟了，而且保持了鮮美的味道．

解答 81．where 考查定語從句．分析句子成分可知，Chinatown是先行詞，在后面的非限制性定語從句中做地點狀語，故填where．
82．had noticed 考查過去完成時．在It/This/That be the+序數(shù)詞 time that 句型中，當(dāng)前面的be動詞是一般過去式時，that從句使用過去完成時，故填had noticed．
83．it考查代詞．此處it代指前面的 the food，故填it．
84．a(chǎn)n 考查冠詞．句意：很多年前，中國有一次能源危機(jī)．表示"一"的概念時需用不定冠詞，因為energy以元音音素開頭，故填an．
85．loss 考查名詞．分析句子成分可知，was是謂語部分，此處應(yīng)用名詞形式做主語，故填loss．
86．valuable 考查形容詞．形容詞修飾名詞，根據(jù)空后的名詞 wood可知此處應(yīng)用形容詞，故填valuable
87．into 考查介詞．cut…into…是固定搭配，意為"把…切成…"句意：把肉和蔬菜切成小塊．故填into．
88．faster 考查比較級．根據(jù)后面的more，可知此處應(yīng)用fast的比較級，故填faster．
89．prepared 考查非謂語．此處是過去分詞作后置定語修飾名詞food，故填prepared．
90．that考查強調(diào)句．此句去掉It's…that仍是一個完整的句子，所以是強調(diào)句型，故填that．

點評 語法填空題是考查學(xué)生的語言運用能力．解題時，要在理解文章的基礎(chǔ)上，靈活運用語法知識，如詞性，時態(tài)，名詞單復(fù)數(shù)，連接詞，代詞，冠詞等判斷空白處應(yīng)填寫的內(nèi)容．答完后，還要通讀全文，核對所填單詞形式是否正確，是否符合語境．
