A

处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
InancientChinalivedanartist11paintingswerealmostlifelike.Theartist'sreputationhadmadehim

【答案】11.whose
12.finest13.bechosen
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是一位中国画家给皇帝的首席大臣展示画作时,大臣告诉他去漓江
旅行,也许他可以从世界上最伟大的艺术家那里学到一些东西。
[11题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在中国古代有一位画家,他的画非常逼真。分析可知,空格处引导的是定语从句,
先行词artist和paintings之间是所属关系,因此空格处用表所属的关系代词whose引导定语从句,故填
whoseo
【12题详解】
考查最高级。句意:有一天,皇帝想要画好自己的肖像,就把所有伟大的艺术家都叫来,展示他们最好的
作品,这样他就可以从中挑选最好的。由“hecouldchoosethebest”可知,句子表示“皇帝想要画好自己
的肖像,就把所有伟大的艺术家都叫来,展示他们最好的作品”,空格处意为“最好的”,用最高级
finesto故填finesto
【13题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:艺术家确信他会被选中,但当他把这幅杰作展示给皇帝的首席大臣时,老人笑了。
艺术家是被选中,句子用被动语态,would是情态动词,因此空格处是bedone,因此空格处是bechosen。
故填bechosen。

【14题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位90岁的女性被授予“年度最佳女性”,因为她是英国最年长的全职员工,
每周仍工作40小时。此处位于介词for之后,应用动名词,作宾语。故填being。
【15题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:现在,艾琳阿斯特伯里每天早上9点到下午5点在麦克尔斯菲尔德的宠物店工
作,这家宠物店是她和已故丈夫莱斯一起开的。此处是非限定性定语从句,先行词是thepetshop,指物,
关系词在从句中作宾语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【16题详解】
考查副词。句意:在一位顾客提名她为柴郡年度女性后,她多年的辛勤工作终于得到了认可。此处修饰谓
语动词,应用副词,作状语。故填finally。

号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Museum20openedin1759.
【答案】17.wealthy
18.or19.formed
20.which/that
【分析】这是一篇说明文。许多人有收集东西的爱好,例如邮票、明信片或古董。在18和19世纪,富人
旅行并收集植物、历史物品和艺术品。他们把自己的藏品留在家里,直到藏品数量变得太庞大或者自己去
世,然后这些藏品被捐给了一家博物馆。例如,HansSloane爵士的8万件藏品构成了大英博物馆的核心藏
品,该博物馆于1759年开放。
【17题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在18和19世纪,富人旅行并收集植物、历史物品和艺术品。修饰后文名词people应
用形容词wealthy,作定语。故填wealthy。
【18题详解】
考查连词。句意:他们把自己的藏品留在家里,直到藏品数量变得太庞大或者自己去世,然后这些藏品被
捐给了一家博物馆。结合上下文语境可知此处为选择关系,表示“或者”应用连词。r。故填or。
【19题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:例如,HansSloane爵士的8万件藏品构成了大英博物馆的核心藏品,该博物馆于
1759年开放。form在句中作谓语,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填formed。
【20题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。此处为定语从句修饰先行词BritishMuseum,且先行词在从句中作主语,指
物,故应用关系代词which或Ihat。故填which/thato
