Question

13．While many Chinese students struggle to earn a high score in English，how do UK teenagers perform in their foreign language classes？
As part of the European Survey on Language Ability，teenagers in 14 different（16）European（Europe） countries were tested on their ability to use the first foreign language they（17）were taught（teach） in school．For most English people，that language was French．

Currently，about one out of 10 state primary schools offer no language lessons and a further 20 percent only offer（25）themto certain year groups，according to The Telegraph．

Answer 1

分析 文章讲述了欧洲的孩子学外语的情况．根据一项调查，英国的孩子学外语的能力最差，百分之九十的小学生只能理解简短的文章，百分之九十三的学生只能听懂简单的短语．

解答 答案：16．European；考查形容词．句中修饰名词countries，要用形容词形式．     
17．were taught；考查语态．teach sb sth教某人某事；teach与they之间构成动宾关系，要用被动语态．      
18．which；考查连词．句中was released last month修饰名词results，是一个非限制性定语从句；从句缺少主语，且先行词results指物，要用which来引导．       
19．learning；考查动名词．句中learn作介词at的宾语，要用动名词形式．       
20．that；考查连词．句中nine in ten pupils in England could，at best，understand short，simple texts解释fact的内容，是一个同位语从句，要用that来连接．
21．of；考查短语搭配．percent of百分之几．                 
22．personal；考查短语搭配．personal information个人信息．            
23．that；考查连词．句中all primary school children aged 7 and above will be required to learn..作announced的宾语，是一个宾语从句，从句表达的是客观要求，要用that来连接．            
24．a；考查冠词．句意表达的是泛指一种外语，要用不定冠词．                  
25．them；考查代词．句意指代的是children，要用them来指代．

点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力．解题时，要在理解文章的基础上，灵活运用语法知识，如词性，时态，名词单复数，连接词，代词，冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容．答完后，还要通读全文，核对所填单词形式是否正确，是否符合语境．
