基础达标 自主训练
Ⅰ.单句语法填空

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍吃土的减肥效果可能比吃减肥药的效果好，并介绍了得出该结论的过程。
1.compared　考查非谓语动词。句意：澳大利亚的一个研究团队声称，吃土可能比吃减肥药的效果还好。分析句子可知，“compare”与“eating soil”属于逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式compared。
2.reported　考查动词的时态。分析句子可知，本句缺谓语，与其主语“China Press”为主谓关系，陈述过去的事情，故用一般过去时reported。
3.accidentally　考查词性转换。修饰动词“find”用副词，故用accidentally。
4.the　考查冠词。消化系统为特指，故用定冠词the。
5.separating　考查非谓语动词。“by”为介词后接动词ing形式，故用separating。
6.was/were given　考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子可知，本句缺谓语，“give”与“group”为动宾关系，“group”既可以作单数，故用was given；也可以表示一组老鼠，故也可用复数形式were given。
7.which/that　考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子可知，“ate soil”作限制性定语从句修饰先行词“mice”，从句缺主语，故用关系代词which或者that。
8.easier　考查形容词比较级。本句为结构make it＋形容词， 根据后文的“than”可知，本句为比较级结构，故用比较级形式easier。
9.have been testing　考查动词的时态。分析本句的“in the past few months”可知，研究人员过去几个月都在做的事情，且“test”与其主语“they”为主谓关系，故用现在完成进行时have been testing。
10.or　考查连词。分析句子可知，前后句为选择关系，故用连词or。

难项分析：
第六处：holding→held　考查动词的语态。A monthly activity “每月的活动”是“被举行”的，故要用动词hold的被动语态，故要用held。
第八处：had→have　考查动词的时态。“Every autumn (每个夏天)”作本句的时间状语，表示现在经常发生的动作，谓语部分要用一般现在时。
第十处：去掉a　考查冠词。progress意为“进步”，为不可数名词，故其前不能用不定冠词。

The ancient Maya mastered the art of ceramic (制陶艺术) in a manner which virtually no other culture did.

The Vase of the Seven Gods, made in the area of Naranjo, an ancient city of the Maya civilization in the present－day Petén, Guatemala, shows the fine way Maya handled clay. Like all art of Maya, this vase exhibits highly religious symbols. Furthermore, the artist's name is carved along the bottom of this piece in the form of a small white rabbit.
Ceramics also served as reminders of ancestors and gods. The Flour De Lis Vase is a fine example of this. The water lilies are not only symbols of new birth and life giving qualities, but a constant reminder of purity. On this vase, the water lilies are white, which is undoubtedly a sign of purity. The black background shows the sea, in which the lilies float.
Furthermore, ceramics served practical functions in the Maya culture. Vases, which are quite commonly seen today, were used primarily to hold liquid chocolate and cocoa. Bowls were used to hold various maize (玉米) products. Maize was seen as the imaginary body of the Maize God and the ancient Maya thought that as one ate the maize or the body of God from the bowl, they actually became God. Plates were merely used for any object.
Finally, Maya used depictions on ceramics to resurrect (使复活) family members and honor gods. Because they believe that they would come back to life with their names spoken or their figures drawn, the carvings and paintings on these ceramics played a vital role in Maya spirituality.
Clearly, ceramics served a key function in ancient Maya society from dinner plates to acts of God.

A.Seven gods are carved on a vase.
B.A vase exhibits highly religious symbols.
C.The artist's name is carved on the top of a vase.
D.There is a big white rabbit on a vase.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了紫禁城的位置、历史、建筑抗震强以及抗震强的原因。
1.located　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处充当定语，省略了which is; be located at表示“位于”。
2.to serve　考查非谓语动词。manage后面用动词不定式作宾语，故用to serve。
3.natural　考查词性转换。空处充当定语，修饰disasters，说明被修饰词的性质，表示“自然的”，故用形容词形式natural。
4.how　考查副词。为了表明中国古代的建筑是多么的结实，英国第四频道电视台的一个电视纪录片探索了古代中国建筑设计师们的技艺。how表示“多么”，修饰形容词strong。
5.engineers　考查名词。and连接并列结构，前后保持一致，前面用名词复数carpenters，故空处也应该用名词engineer的复数形式。
6.was put　考查动词的时态和语态。句意：这个模型被投入到试验中。根据上下文可知，动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时；又因为主语“The model”与谓语动词“put”构成被动关系，故用was put。
7.gently　考查词性转换。空处修饰动词moved，故用其副词形式gently。
8.an　考查冠词。method是可数名词，这里表示泛指一种，故用不定冠词；又因为空后是发音以元音音素开头的old，故用an。
9.without　考查介词。根据上下文可知，用dougong这种技术建造房子不用钉子和胶水，故用without。
10.keeping　考查非谓语动词。keep充当介词at的宾语，故用其动名词形式。
Ⅳ.书面表达

Dear_Jim，
It's great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favorite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He, in his book, Haiguo Tuzhi (Maps and Records of the World), introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. That opened our eyes to the world. In fact, he inspires me to pursue a major in English in college, and to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more? I can find you some books! Just let me know.
Cheers！
Yours，
Li_Hua
