【题目】语法填空

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English 【1】(speak) are always making new words and we should be able to know where most words come from.

Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers 【2】(be)called hamburgers, 【3】(especial) when they are not made of ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America 【4】Europe. They came from a big city in Germany 【5】(call) Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. Some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef. Never had they seen such a strange way. They couldn't help 【6】(ask) the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, "We came from Hamburg." One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He made up 【7】mind to do something new. He cooked some round pieces of the beef like 【8】the men from Hamburg ate and 【9】(sell) it quite a few countries around the world.

Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is 【10】(interest).

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要以汉堡包为例，介绍了英语词汇的来历，了解一些单词的来历是一件非常有趣的事情。

【1】考查名词。句意：说英语的人总是在创造新单词，我们应该能够知道大多数单词来自哪里。“说英语的人”English speaker，由are可知，此处使用复数形式。故填speakers。

【2】考查主谓一致。句意：你有没有想过为什么汉堡包被称为汉堡包，尤其是当它们不是由火腿制成的时候？be动词的主语为hamburgers，此处描述的客观事实，应使用一般现在时。故填are。

【3】考查副词。句意：你有没有想过为什么汉堡包被称为汉堡包，尤其是当它们不是由火腿制成的时候？分析句子when they are not made of ham?可知，它一个主谓宾齐全的句子，需要用副词来修饰整个句子。故填especially。

【4】考查介词。句意：大约一百年前，一些人从欧洲去了美洲。通过下文They came from a big city in Germany(他们来自德国的一个名叫汉堡的大城市)，可知，他们来自欧洲，需要用“来自”from。故填from。

【5】考查过去分词。句意：他们来自德国的一个名叫汉堡的大城市。分析句子可知，call的逻辑主语是city，它们之间存在着被动关系。called Hamburg“名叫汉堡的”，做后置定语，修饰city。故填called。

【6】考查固定搭配。句意：他们不禁问德国人那是什么。can't/couldn’t help doing sth.“情不自禁做某事”。故填asking。

【7】考查形容词性物主代词。句意：他下定决心做一些新的事情。根据固定搭配make up one’s mind“下定决心”，再因为本句的主语是he，它的物主代词是his。故填his。

【8】考查宾语从句。句意：他烹饪了一些圆形片状牛肉，就像来自汉堡的人们吃的那样，然后卖给世界上很多国家。分析句子结构可知，此处是宾语从句连接词，从句缺少宾语，且指物。故填what。

【9】考查动词时态。句意：他烹饪了一些圆形片状牛肉，就像来自汉堡的人们吃的那样，然后卖给世界上很多国家。分析句子可知，and是并列连词，连接了cooked和sell两个动词，这个故事描述的是过去的事情，需要用sell的过去式。故填sold。

【10】考查形容词。句意：不管这个故事是真是假，它肯定很有趣。分析句子可知，此处用形容词做表语，而且是这个故事很有趣。故填interesting。
