128、 culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.语篇解读:本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国文化对世界的影响。61especially考查副词。尤其是中国功夫,对于那些通过功夫初次了解中国的成千上万的人来讲,有着非常大的影响。especially“尤其是”,用于强调突出的人或者事情。62on考查介词。have a(n) . effect on sb.“对某人有影响”为固定搭配,故填on。63aspects考查名词单复数。他们可能会来到中国,学习了解中国文化
129、的一些其他方面。根据空前的“some other”及aspect作“方面,层面”讲时是可数名词可知,此处应用aspect的复数形式aspects。64greatness考查名词。其他亚洲国家很早以前就知道古代中国文化的博大。根据空前的“the”及空后的“of”可知,此处应填名词greatness。65a考查冠词。这些国家自身的文化是本土文化和中国特色(文化)的混合。mix在此作名词,意为“混合,结合”,是可数名词,且此处表示泛指,故用a。66is challenged考查动词的时态和语态。根据本文的基本时态为一般现在时可知,此处亦用一般现在时;it在此指代上文中的“Confucianism”,
130、和challenge之间为被动关系,应用被动语态。故填is challenged。67given考查过去分词。这种力量来自“四书”中所提供的观念。the ideas与give之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。68more考查比较级。“四书”是依照“五经”的编纂中所体现的更为早期的思想而著成的。根据句意及空前的“even”可知,此处应用比较级形式,故填more。69what考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在此引导宾语从句,作learns的宾语,空处在句中作主语,且此处表示“所的事物”,故用what。70to further考查不定式。目前,中国已经采取措施进一步推广中国文化。
131、分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作目的状语,故应用不定式形式。further在此用作动词,意为“促进,增进”。.写作规范增分练第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)I enjoy doing different things in my free time. So I like reading books best.
