【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Clowns (小丑)are almost everywhere in popular culture. But what they represent 【1】(change) a lot over the past 400 years.
Clowns began appearing in 【2】 form we recognize today in European theaters in the 17th century. With brightly colored clothes, big red noses and colorful faces, clowns tried every means to act foolish or play tricks 【3】 (make) the audience laugh.
Clowns became popular in the US in the 1960s. A happy clown 【4】 (choose) by McDonald's to appear in its advertisements. Today, as we know, that company mascot (吉祥物), Ronald McDonald, is world famous.
However, the image of a happy clown is largely an American creation. In other cultures, the clown character is not 【5】 (necessary) good. One example is “Mr. Punch”, who was popular in British and French theaters during the 1700s. While Mr. Punch was funny, he was also violent, often 【6】 (hit) his wife during the show, 【7】 gave rise to the name of “bad clowns”. Even today, in the eyes of some people, clowns are evil (邪恶的)and 【8】 (frighten).
Of course, there are different voices. Some people think clowns are positive, creative and imaginative. They bring people 【9】 (please) and laughter. That's 【10】 attracts people, especially children, to clowns. They believe that as long as there are children in the world, there will be a future for clowns.
【答案】
【1】has changed
【2】the
【3】to make
【4】was chosen
【5】necessarily
【6】hitting
【7】which
【8】frightening
【9】pleasure
【10】what
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在过去的400年里,小丑所代表的东西发生了很大的变化。不同文化团体对小丑的看法不一。但不管如何,孩子们还是很喜欢小丑的。
【1】考查时态。句意:但在过去的400年里,它们所代表的东西发生了很大的变化。分析句子,简单句除了change外无其余动词,故该空需填谓语动词。句中有时间状语
“over the past+
一段时间”,是现在完成时的时间状语。又因为change和逻辑主语之间表示主动。且动词的主语是从句。根据主谓一致原则,从句作主语,动词用单数。故现在完成时的助动词用
has
。故填has changed。
【2】考查冠词。句意:17世纪,我们今天在欧洲剧院看到的小丑开始以这种形式出现。form(形式)
为名词,后被定语从句修饰,故要表示特指。故填the。
【3】考查非谓语动词。句意:小丑们穿着色彩鲜艳的衣服,大红鼻子,五颜六色的脸,想尽一切办法做傻事或耍花招来逗乐观众。分析句子,make所处的并列句已经有动词play,故
make需填非谓语动词。根据句意,此处应填to do 表示目的。故填to make。
【4】考查时态和语态。句意:麦当劳挑选了一个快乐的小丑出现在广告中。分析句子,choose所处的简单句无其他动词,故该空作谓语。又因为choose和主语之间是被动关系,且时间发生于
1960s,表示发生在过去的事情。故需要用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was chosen。
【5】考查副词。句意:在其他文化中,小丑的角色不一定是好的。分析句子,necessary 是形容词,不能修饰后面的good(adj.
)。用副词修饰形容词。故填necessarily。
【6】考查非谓语动词。句意:虽然Mr. Punch很有趣,但他也很暴力,经常在演出期间打他的妻子。分析句子,hit所处的分句无主语,故hit
要填非谓语。hit和逻辑主语之间表示主动关系。故填hitting。
【7】考查定语从句。句意:虽然Mr. Punch很有趣,但他也很暴力,经常在演出期间打他的妻子,这也导致了“坏小丑”
的名声。分析句子,划线部分充当了主语,故要填关系词。又因为划线前面有逗号,后面的定语从句是非限制性定语从句。“非限”部分缺主语,故需填“关系代词”。关系代词指代前面“打老婆”这件事。that不能引导非限制性定语从句,故填
which
。
【8】考查形容词。句意:即使在今天,在一些人的眼中,小丑是邪恶和可怕的。分析句子,be动词后需填形容词作表语。故必须将frighten
变为形容词。frighten的形容词有两个:frightened(感到害怕的)
和frightening(令人害怕的),通过对句意的分析可知,句中缺“令人害怕的”,
故填
frightening
。
【9】考查名词。句意:他们给人们带来快乐和笑声。分析句子,and后面的laughter的词性是名词。根据and
前后词性一致原则,该处也需填名词。故填pleasure。
【10】考查名词性从句。句意:这就是小丑吸引人们,尤其是孩子的原因。分析句子,划线部分充当了主语,故该空需填引导词。从句放在be动词后,从句为表语从句。表语从句部分缺主语,表示“吸引孩子们的地方
”,需填连接代词。故填what。

One afternoon, he struck up a conversation at a cafe with a group of charming young people, who turned out to be some fancy nobles.They took a liking to Arthur and invited him to a party that weekend in a castle in the Loire Valley. They said this was going to be the party of the year. It would be attended by the rich and famous and by several crowned heads of Europe. Best of all, it was a masquerade ball(化妆舞会)."Dress up, " they said, "and join us!"
Excited, Arthur worked all week on a costume(服装)that he was certain would be highly impressive. He held back on neither the details nor the imagination of this creation. Then he rented a car and drove three hours to the castle. He changed into his costume in the car and went up the castle steps. Arthur entered the ballroom, proud.
