【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goodadj.
)。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)
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
