【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国的婚俗习惯。
1.causing [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处表示自然而然的结果,主语They和动词cause之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语。]
2.involves [考查主谓一致。根据该句中的usually可知,此处表示经常发生的动作,故用一般现在时;主语The traditional Chinese marriage为第三人称单数,故谓语动词应用单数形式。]
3.In [考查固定搭配。in addition为固定搭配,意为“此外,除此之外”。]
4.what [考查主语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,故用what引导该主语从句。本题有难度。]
5.choice [考查名词。根据空前的不定冠词a可知,空处应用名词形式。]
6.to attend [考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知,空处表示目的,故用动词不定式作目的状语。]
7.those [考查代词。根据语境可知,空处指那些在农村地区的人,表示复数,故用代词those。]
8.warmly [考查副词。空处修饰动词hosted,故用副词形式。]
9.a [考查冠词。空后的banquet为可数名词,表示泛指,且unique的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。]
10.healthy [考查形容词。空处修饰后面的名词baby,表示“一个健康的婴儿”,故用形容词healthy。]
