Mandarin(普通話) Chinese is the most【1】(use) non-European language for children to learn, UK parents believe. It will boost (促進(jìn)) their children’s career prospects (前景), according to 51% of parents, while 56% felt it would open their children’s minds【2】an “exciting and dynamic” culture. Arabic and Japanese, 【3】were both picked by 14% of parents, were the other key non-European languages. The figures were gained after 1,138 UK adults with children aged under 18 【4】 (be) questioned in a survey【5】(conduct) by the Mandarin Excellence Programme (MEP).

French, Spanish and German were the top choices overall for young people in the UK【6】(learn) after being picked by 57%, 54% and 40% of parents respectively.

The MEP aims to help at least 5,000 young people in England to speak fluent Mandarin Chinese by 2020.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】useful

【2】to

【3】which

【4】were

【5】conducted

【6】to learn

【7】becoming

【8】languages

【9】successfully

【10】a

【解析】隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，普通話在全球范圍內(nèi)越來(lái)越重要。文章以英國(guó)為例說(shuō)明了學(xué)習(xí)普通話的人越來(lái)越多。

【1】useful 考查形容詞。此處是形容詞作定語(yǔ)修飾名詞，句意：普通話是最有用的非歐洲語(yǔ)言。

【2】to 考查介詞。此處介詞to的意思為“到，去”。句意：百分之五十六的家長(zhǎng)感覺(jué)這將打開(kāi)孩子的思想到一個(gè)有趣的、活躍的文化中。

【3】which 考查引導(dǎo)詞。___3___were both picked by 14% of parents.本句在整個(gè)句子中是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，非限定性定語(yǔ)從句用which指代前面的事物，注意這里不能用who，Arabic and Japanese指的是“阿拉伯語(yǔ)和漢語(yǔ)”，故用which才正確。

【4】were 考查be動(dòng)詞。本句中after后為一個(gè)從句，在從句中是被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)且主語(yǔ)為復(fù)數(shù)，根據(jù)前面用過(guò)去時(shí)，故此處也用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，故用were。

【5】conducted 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。此處動(dòng)詞為非謂語(yǔ)，與邏輯主語(yǔ)survey之間是被動(dòng)的關(guān)系，故用conducted。

【6】to learn 考查動(dòng)詞不定式。此處動(dòng)詞不定式表目的，句意：法語(yǔ)，西班牙語(yǔ)，德語(yǔ)是英國(guó)孩子去學(xué)習(xí)的三個(gè)主要的選擇。

【7】becoming 考查with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)中become與邏輯主語(yǔ)之間是主動(dòng)的關(guān)系，故用becoming。

【8】languages 考查名詞。在短語(yǔ)one of...中后面的名詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

【9】successfully 考查副詞。此處為副詞修飾動(dòng)詞。

【10】a 考查冠詞。橫線處后面為可數(shù)名詞，此處用不定冠詞來(lái)修飾名詞，表示泛指。故用a。
