【題目】Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

I won’t call myself the most accomplished person when it comes to 【1】(hold) chopsticks. In fact, I’m pretty sure that my technique looks clumsy at times. I tend to hold 【2】 (I) in the middle, more beginner than expert.

Still, since I eat almost every meal with the eating utensil(器皿) of choice in China it’s not uncommon for a new friend or acquaintance to come to a simple 【3】 (conclude) after observing me that my Chinese husband, Jun, must 【4】 (show) me how to use them.

They are wrong. I’ve used chopsticks ever since I was a teenager, a time when my sister and mother were both fond of Chinese cuisine and introduced me 【5】 many new dishes, along with the 【6】 (prefer) utensils in China. We always kept bamboo chopsticks along with our 【7】 (knife), forks and spoons, ready for whenever we happened to have Chinese food for dinner. It was my closest family 【8】 observed my first mistakes I made in using chopsticks.

Plus, I lived over two years in China before Jun and I started dating and I 【9】 (expect) to use chopsticks in almost every restaurant, stand and bar. Trust me, when you’re hungry you figure out pretty fast what it takes to down(咽下)【10】 meal with these utensils.

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要記敘了作者本人學(xué)會(huì)用筷子的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴。

【1】考查動(dòng)名詞。在when it comes to …這一固定句型中，to是介詞，后接名詞或動(dòng)名詞。句意：說(shuō)到拿筷子，我不會(huì)稱(chēng)自己為最有成就的人。故填holding。

【2】考查動(dòng)詞。hold為及物動(dòng)詞，后接名詞或者代詞作賓語(yǔ)。根據(jù)上下文可知，這里是指“握住我的筷子”。所以用I的名詞性物主代詞。句意：我往往握住筷子的中間。故填mine。

【3】考查名詞。固定短語(yǔ)come to a conclusion(得出結(jié)論)，故用名詞形式。句意：得出了一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的結(jié)論。故填conclusion。

【4】考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+have done。本題考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞must表推測(cè)的用法，因?yàn)槭菍?duì)過(guò)去行為的推測(cè)，故用have done。句意：一定會(huì)向我展示怎么用它們。故填have shown。

【5】考查介詞。短語(yǔ)introduce sb. to sth.使某人了解某物。故填to。

【6】考查形容詞。preferred“更受喜愛(ài)的”為形容詞修飾名詞untensil。意為“為中國(guó)人所偏愛(ài)的”。句意：以及中國(guó)人所偏愛(ài)的器皿。故填preferred。

【7】考查名詞。根據(jù)前面的our和后面的forks and spoons可知，這里用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。句意：一起的還有刀叉和調(diào)羹。故填knives。

【8】考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句。本句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句，因?yàn)楸粡?qiáng)調(diào)部分是人，所以，既可以用who也可以用that。句意：就是我最親密的家人看到我第一次錯(cuò)誤的使用筷子。故填who/that。

【9】考查時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。全文時(shí)態(tài)為過(guò)去時(shí)，所以本句也為過(guò)去時(shí)，主語(yǔ)I與expect為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故用過(guò)去時(shí)的被動(dòng)形式。故用was expected。

【10】考查冠詞。這里meal為可數(shù)名詞，單數(shù)，非特指。且meal的首字母發(fā)音為輔音因素，故用不定冠詞a。故填a。

淺談強(qiáng)調(diào)句

1. 用It is／was...that／who...句型表示強(qiáng)調(diào)。

（1）陳述句的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：It is/was+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分（通常是主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或狀語(yǔ)）+that/who（當(dāng)強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)且主語(yǔ)指人）+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.

（2）一般疑問(wèn)句的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：同上，只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?

（3）特殊疑問(wèn)句的強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分（通常是疑問(wèn)代詞或疑問(wèn)副詞）+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分？e.g. When and where was it that you were born?

注：被強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分（通常是句子的主語(yǔ)、狀語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)）放在is／was的后面，如被強(qiáng)調(diào)的是人，則后面可用who，whom等代替。

2. not...until...句型的強(qiáng)調(diào)句：

句型為：It is/was not until+被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that+其它部分：

e.g. 普通句：He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.

強(qiáng)調(diào)句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.

3. 強(qiáng)調(diào)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞：用助動(dòng)詞do, does或did加動(dòng)詞原形來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。注意：此種強(qiáng)調(diào)只用do/does和did，沒(méi)有別的形式；過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài)用did，后面的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用原形。如：Do come early. 務(wù)必早來(lái)。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他確實(shí)寄給你一封信。
