1.1.
A
B
C
D
解析:选Built。Built 考查非谓语。空格位于句首,其后是逗号和主句“it is 67.31 meters high...”。动词“build”与逻辑主语“it”(即应县木塔)之间构成被动关系,且动作发生在过去(1056年)。因此,使用过去分词“Built”作状语,相当于时间状语从句“When it was built in 1056...”。注意首字母大写。故填Built。
2.2.
A
B
C
D
解析:选that。that 考查同位语从句引导词。空格前的“rumors”表示“谣言”,其后需要一个从句来解释谣言的具体内容——“it would be completely disassembled and reconstructed”。这个从句不缺少成分,且意义完整,因此用连接词“that”引导同位语从句,说明谣言的内容。故填that。
3.3.
A
B
C
D
解析:选shares。shares 考查主谓一致与一般现在时。主语“Wang Yongxian”为第三人称单数,且根据上下文中的“often”可知,该动作是经常发生的习惯性行为,故用一般现在时。谓语动词“share”需加“-s”变为“shares”。
4.4.
A
B
C
D
解析:选particularly。particularly 考查词性转换。空格修饰形容词“obvious”(明显的),说明“倾斜的程度”。在英语中,修饰形容词通常用副词。因此将形容词“particular”变为副词“particularly”,意为“尤其,特别地”。故填particularly。
5.5.
A
B
C
D
解析:选against。against 考查固定搭配。空格前的“goes”与空格共同构成动词短语。根据句意,完全拆卸木塔的行为是“违反”文物保护法的。固定搭配“go against”意为“违背,违反”,符合上下文逻辑。故填against。
6.6.
A
B
C
D
解析:选using。using 考查非谓语。句子主干为“the current focus is on stabilizing the pagoda and doing further research”,空格处为非谓语动词,逻辑主语the current focus与use之间是主动关系,故用现在分词形式using。
7.7.
A
B
C
D
解析:选valuable。valuable 考查词性转换。根据前文的系动词is可知,此处需填形容词作表语;value的形容词形式为valuable,意为“有价值的”。故填valuable。
8.8.
A
B
C
D
解析:选informed。informed 考查非谓语。keep sb. + 过去分词 表示“使某人处于某种状态”。people 与 inform 之间为被动关系(人们被告知),因此使用过去分词 informed,构成 keep people informed 意为“使人们了解情况”。故填informed。
9.9.
A
B
C
D
解析:选is。is 主谓一致与定语从句的谓语动词。空格位于非限制性定语从句中,关系代词“which”指代先行词“a proposal (to build a 1:1 replica)”。该提议是单数概念,且全文时态为一般现在时,因此从句谓语动词用第三人称单数“is”。故填is。
10.10.
A
B
C
D
解析:选can。can 考查倒装句。“Only with joint efforts”是“only+介词短语”结构,置于句首时,主句需使用部分倒装。原正常语序为“this millennium-old treasure can stand firm”,倒装后应将情态动词“can”提到主语“this millennium-old treasure”之前,构成“can this millennium-old treasure stand firm”。故填“can”。
