1.1.

A

B

C

D

解析：选thousands。本题考查数词的变形。thousand 前有具体数字时用单数，当表示模糊的 “数千、成千上万” 概念，后面搭配 of 时，thousand 需要加 s 构成固定短语 thousands of。本空后出现 of，因此填写 thousands，thousands of years 表示数千年。

2.2.

A

B

C

D

解析：选over。本题考查介词及固定短语。all over the world 是中考高频固定介词短语，over 此处作介词表示 “遍及”，短语含义为全世界，符合文意，因此填 over。

3.3.

A

B

C

D

解析：选own。本题考查形容词的用法。own 作形容词常放在物主代词之后，构成 one’s own + 名词的结构，表达 “某人独有的、自己的”。本句中 its 指代上文中的 each style，its own beauty 即每种风格独有的美感，故填 own。

4.4.

A

B

C

D

解析：选regarded。本题考查动词的被动语态。regard 有 “把…… 看作” 的含义，常用搭配 regard sb. as…。本句主语 they 指代王羲之和他的儿子，主语和 regard 之间是被动关系，表示 “被看作”，被动语态结构为 be + 过去分词，句中已给出 be 动词 were，regard 的过去分词为 regarded，be regarded as 意为被看作，因此填 regarded。

5.5.

A

B

C

D

解析：选practice。本题考查名词，依托并列一致原则解题。连词 and 连接并列成分，前后词性要保持一致，and 前面 skill 是名词，空格处也需要填入名词。practice 作不可数名词表示练习，契合句意书法需要技巧与练习，不能使用动词形式，所以填 practice。

6.6.

A

B

C

D

解析：选influence。本题考查实义动词，情态动词的语法规则。情态动词 can 后面必须接动词原形，influence 作动词意为影响，本句表达毛笔、墨、纸张的种类会对书写造成影响，直接使用动词原形 influence。

7.7.

A

B

C

D

解析：选just。本题考查副词，结合上下文语义逻辑解题。just 作副词意为仅仅、只是，not just 意为不仅仅。后文讲到书法是表达思想情感的艺术，说明书法不单单是写字，just 在语义上衔接前后内容，故填 just。

8.8.

A

B

C

D

解析：选adds。本题考查动词一般现在时第三人称单数以及固定搭配。add…to… 为固定搭配，意思是给…… 增添……。本句 and 连接并列谓语，主语 it 指代 Chinese calligraphy，属于第三人称单数，整个文段为一般现在时，时态保持统一，add 变化为三单形式 adds。

9.9.

A

B

C

D

解析：选both。本题考查连词固定搭配。both…and… 是固定搭配，用于并列两个对象，意为…… 和…… 都。此处并列地点状语 in China 和 around the world，表达在中国和世界各地，因此填 both。

10.10.

A

B

C

D

解析：选that。本题考查定语从句关系代词。先行词是表示事物的 bridge，空格之后为修饰 bridge 的定语从句，从句内部缺少主语，词库中关系代词 that 可指代物并且在从句充当主语，所以选用 that。
